Title: Warts & Verrucas
Post by: suzi on 09/05/2007 19:46:23
My little girl who is 8, has 5 warts on her fingers and in the last few weeks has developed 3 verrucas on her feet. I've tried all of the over the counter stuff.  Does anyone know of an alternative cure???

Hi suzi,

garlic is being studied also for more severe skin diseases!

Duct tape is reported as working , not just on the web but by someone whom I know- she says it's reliable. OK, that's scarcely better than an "old wives tale"; except that she's a GP.
I should probably add that I'm currently trying it; I will let you know the outcome.
