For those plagued with verucas

Apparently you're wasting your time with over the counter medicines.

All you need is Duct tape - That little piece of advice came from a GP this morning.

No... I am not the one with verucas:P

I used to always get them on the heel of one of my feet. I got fed up with those over the counter medicines, none worked. I found using nail clippers to rip the skin off it, going right into it did the trick after a few weeks.

Hurt like hell but I haven't had any since

Ouch!

No, I took my (much younger) cousin in today- she's a dancer and these things have taken root.

Here I am thinking they'll give me some super flesh burning acid ( I'm a terrible 'aunty'/cousin) but no.

She was told to tape her feet with duct tape for 6 days at a time and they should be gone within 28 days.

Haha! It seems so ridiculous to me! But she did provide printouts of research - pages of it!

Seems ridiculous to me!
