Have been using "bazuka gel" but progress is excruiatingly slow.
I know that the duct tape trick thing works, but the stuff that I have found in the UK just will not stick to the soles of my feet! I've also tried electrical tape and Scholl plasters but nothing stays put.
What can I use? Verruccae can be very frustrating!

Forget all of that -- try 100% organic tea tree oil, twice a day (after washing/showering and drying feet). Just dab it on with a cotton wool bud (not too much) and the verrucas will go. Completely. With no pain or tingling. The tea tree oil also helps stop reinfection and minimises the risk of you infecting others.

I treat at least one case of verrucae every week without over the counter caustic substances. Here's a couple of suggestions - one of these will work for you:
Thuja tincture applied locally twice a day
Stick a small piece of banana skin (yes, seriously) to the verruca & change daily.
Dab with a cut garlic clove twice a day.
Apply Lemon oil twice a day.
Never had a failure - find the one that suits you.

Plantar warts are deep and difficult to eradicate even with proper medical treatment. Go to a dermatologist and let him either burn or freeze that wart off. Over the counter or home treatment is a lost cause.

Hello.
I know how you must be feeling.
I had the same problem in my fingers and it was spreading from one finger to another
I tried many product and none did the job.
Finally i went to the GP and after few appointments it was GONE!!!!
So best is to go to the GP and make an app.to the warts clinic.

Go to the pharmacist and ask for the new freeze spray they sell now. Its just the same as the hospital or doctor uses but you use it at home. One treatment and its gone x

I can't remember the name of the product but you can buy it in Boots - it freezes the Verucca. Its fairly expensive, about £12, but much quicker at getting rid of them than the gel.

Cut a potato in half . Rub your verruca with one half then go and bury it at the bottom of your garden at midnight.

A doctor once told my friend this...
it is REALLY disgusting, but it works...
You have to bath your feet in urine. If that is too much you can also try peeing in the shower, that can also help.

Try Wartner- that's much better.
Or to save money get your doctor remove it for free.
