Verruca
Been bothered with a couple of really annoying verrucas for several years now. Tried things like Bazooka, which didn't do the trick. Also tried the duct tape cure but without any success (it seemed to rot the verruca a bit, but progress slowed after several weeks).
Went and had them frozen on Monday morning. Agonisingly painful to walk on. Still hobbling on Tuesday. It's tender today, but not nearly so bad. I'm hoping that I'll be okay to go down the allotment tomorrow and do some work.
Freezing has a varied success rate like all other methods of treatment (and the success % varies greatly depending on which authorities you consult), but at least the woman doing it is a foot professional rather than just the nurse down at the doctor's surgery. I've got a follow-up appointment in two weeks and she says it may require a second session in three months.
