Does anybody have a sure fire ways to get rid of them. I've got 3 that i've had for years & they are very annoying.

I've been to a podiatrist before to get the frozen off but they've come back & am currently using Bazuka gel, but don't know if i should still be using it cos when i file them down they start to bleed & don't think i should be using Bazuka on broken skin.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've found using a similar product to this effective:

Duct tape. I'm not sure why it works but it definitely worked for me.
Keep the verruca covered with a piece of duct tape, if the tape falls off replace it with another piece. It's recommended that you keep it covered for six days then soak the verruca and file it down. Then repeat the process for another six days..and so on until the verruca has gone. It took mine about three weeks.
If you google 'verrucas and duct tape' you'll find more info about it.

What about using Bazuka & duct tape?
Yes duct tape or even better electrical insulation tape. Something in the adhesive gets rid of them!
Trip to the Chirpodist is the only sure way to get rid.
When my youngest was quite young he had a verruca. After his bath each night he would attack it with the emery board and then I would apply Bazuka. One night after his bath he told me the verruca had come out and was about an inch long. When I asked him where it was,he told me he had eaten it!
I still feel queasy thinking about it
