This really hurts but you need to get:

a needle,

tweezers and

a knife

pick the in side out the the outside OUCH I hurts but works

Another way is by constantly sticking tape/plaster over the verruca for several weeks and at the same time, every night attaching a cotton ball soaked in vinegar (any type) to it. It is not at all painful although longer than the above method.

I would suggest you use either cuplex gel ( the sayliccilic acid) or freeze it. I am currently in the process of trying vinegar as i have them myself. The other two i have also tried and if the vinegar does not work, will go back to either of them. If this doesn't work, consult your doctor. If you go to the doctor first they will probably prescribe you with the cuplex gel.

The easiest way to treat verruca is to use medications that your doctor will prescribe. If the medications do not work, your only other choice is to have it removed surgically.

How do you get rid of verrucas?

buy verruca treatment and file your verrucas and warts every night. Use Manuka Honey- It worked for me. I had massive verrucas and I went to a chiropodist and she recommended Manuka Honey. Use a cotton wool bud to dab some Manuka Honey onto your verruca and put a plaster over it. Do this every night until the verruca is gone. For me, the verruca was gone in 2 days.


I recently got some verrucas on one foot frozen but still have some on the other foot which the doctors could not do that day. Are there home rememdies I can use to make them go away?

Verrucas are, mostly due to external pressure applied, ingrowing warts. Hence being found mainly on the underside of the feet. Verrucas and warts are caused by the blood borne DNA parasitic viruses HPV2 and HPV4 which specifically attack and mutate the skin cells called keratinocytes. The HP virus is carried on shed skin and in blood and enters the body via a trauma site (nick, cut, scratch, burst blister etc) which is why it is essential not to go pool swimming, swap shoes or walk around barefoot or use communal showers if you have untreated verrucas; you will transmit the disease to others. Warts and verrucas rarely just go away. They should be removed either by freezing, electrocauterically or, in extreme cases, by surgery. Most of the time they can be safely removed by the application of a keratolytic (salicylic acid) preparation found in any health store/ pharmacy/ supermarket.
