Have we ever had one? If so please merge.

Not sure it'll be of interest but for around 15 years I've had 3 verrucas and despite trying many methods of getting rid of the fckrs no luck.

Finally made it a mission to make 2015 the year to rid myself of the nasty basts and am currently trying the duct tape with super glue method. Bazooka and similar over the counter products haven't come close to helping.

Anyone else suffer and won in their battle against the little fckrs?

Get down to your local foot specialist and get them burnt out, it works for warts.

I am afflicted by a bald patch, oh god.

I thought they'd stopped burning them off now, although that may have just been on the nhs, and even they may still use it as a last resort. Always worked for me when I was a kid, after my mum worked at the chicken factory and gave them to the whole family.

Kill a squirrel and glue it to your head.

I wouldn't recommend trying with a live one.

I have had intermittant veruccas for years now, the super glue and duck tape did work for a while but they came back, but I had about 5 on one foot and now its just one but its a big fucker the size of a 5p piece.

I had mine burnt off with nitrogen but that just hurts like fuck and they come straight back despite me having 8 treaments over 2 months.

If you have any luck removing them I would be very interested in the solution also.

I just leave them be, they don't cause me any hassle at all.

I never got my first one till I was about 35.

I don't think I've ever had one. But then again, I don't make a habit of walking around bare footed.

I had one for years that was very uncomfortable. I got rid of it using tweezers and dug the fucker up. A bit of pain and blood, but it worked. (make sure the white root is out)
Couldn't walk properly for a few days /:

I only did it as my doctors don't deal with these problems any more. Been good ever since.

The root is white? Thought I was aiming for a black root! Look flipping horrible at the moment, very satisfying though when the tape comes off and the cutting begins!

I've got a sebaceous cyst on my back which is pretty big and painful.
Got some antibiotics to clear any infection. Good times.
