Hey there im 7 months pregnant and go swimming twice a week but i have picked up a few varuccas can i use something to get rid of them?? I have read the label and it doesnt say if its ok to use during pregnancy. I would like to get rid of them before i deliver so the midwifes dont see them lol and so i dont pass them onto anyone else in the shower or bath in hospital.
Thanks in advance it may seem like a daft question lol
Answer:
Salicylic acid paint, gel or ‘verruca plasters’ can be purchased from a pharmacist. Before using the paint or gel, soak your foot in warm water for 5 minutes, and then rub the surface of the verruca with a pumice stone. Do not overdo it. Carefully apply the paint and let it dry. Cover with a massive sticking plaster. Repeat this treatment each evening until the verruca disappears, which might take 12 weeks. If it becomes painful, stop the treatment for a few days.
Verruca plasters are convenient. They are discs soaked in salicylic acid that you stick over the verruca and change every day. Some have built-in padding to deflect pressure from the verruca. Before applying the plaster, soak your foot and use pumice to rub some of the wart away. Put a piece of wide adhesive bandage over the plaster to make sure it stays in position.
Silver nitrate (caustic) pencil. If salicylic acid does not work, you can try a silver nitrate pencil. In the UK, you can purchase this from pharmacies without a prescription. It gently burns the wart. Use it carefully according to the manufacturer’s instructions
A freezing aerosol is now available from pharmacies. It works in a similar way to the freezing treatment used by chiropodists and physicians, but does not reach the very low temperatures that their equipment achieves. Only one application is needed. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
Try a herbal remedy from a health shop. It is difficult to know whether these are effective, because most have not been fully investigated in scientific trials. Tea tree oil, applied twice daily on its own or mixed with garlic juice, is stated to have an effect. A tincture made from Chelidonium (the Greater Celandine) is stated to be antiviral and to damage wart cells.
What you should never do
Don’t try scraping it away with a corn knife. You could damage your skin and cause an infection. Also, the verucca will come back and others might occur nearby in the damaged skin.

Answer:
All Bazzuca does is keep air from the verruca. I was watching “Street Doctor” 9 I was bored) the other day, and he said “Use duct tape”! Keep it on till it falls off, replace as required.
