There are a number of preparations available over the counter. Ask a chemist if you want to try a home treatment solution. We would recommend the following advice:

• Treat them early – don’t wait for them to get worse
• Follow the instructions very carefully
• Pare the verruca down with emery board or sandpaper as directed
• Never reuse the same emery board/sandpaper twice
• Apply solution as directed
• Continue for 4-6 weeks unless otherwise indicated
• Maintain excellent hygiene to avoid spreading verrucae. Don’t share towels and avoid walking around barefoot
