veruca cured by dog!?
My son has a big problem with verucas and a pal of mine had the same problems, he told me that after trying all the pharmacy stuff he ended up having it cured by his dog when he let it lick it.
Is this true and should I let his dog try?

I'm sure it is not a recognised cure but animals lick their own wounds and most times are cured so worth a try. However, only if the dog wants to, don't force it.

How are warts and verrucas treated?
There is no treatment that is guaranteed to remove warts or verrucas. Most go away by themselves within one or two years, and this fact may be why many folk remedies seem to work almost miraculously.
The treatment of warts and verrucas depends on the person's age, how many there are, where they are, and what trouble they cause. Especially with children, the option of treatment should be set against the relatively good chances of a spontaneous cure.
It may be necessary to try more than one different kind of treatment before the warts or verrucas go away.
There are a number of over-the-counter medicines available from your local pharmacist to treat warts and verrucas. The pharmacist will advise you on how to use each medicine and the precautions required.
The doctor may treat them with corrosive solutions together with liquid plaster. After this treatment it is necessary to pare down the treated area with a pumice stone or emery board.
The doctor can also freeze warts and verrucas away with liquid nitrogen. Often several freezing treatments will be necessary before the warts are totally removed.

I don't think that having the dog lick it will cure them. I'd never heard of them, but here's what Medinfo says:
Warts on the feet are known as verrucas. Here the pressure from the body weight causes them to be flatter, but to grow into the skin more, and can cause pain, rather like walking on a dried pea. It is a virus that causes warts and verrucas. It may be that they can be picked up from direct contact or in swimming pools or changing rooms, but warts and verrucas do not spread rapidly through a family, and it seems to be a question of being more susceptible at certain times in life.
There's more info on the website that talks about how to get rid of them.

these sorts of cures are autosuggestive or psychsomatic. Verrucas can come and go with or without any treatment. The main thing is to stop it from spreading to other parts of the body and to other people, by keeping it well isolated. Persistent ones can be frozen off, but this isnt 100 per cent either.

Nope this is silly and smacks of medieval quackery. If you can't get rid of them with OTC preparations go see your GP. He won't lick them by the way! But he may try liquid nitrogen.

Why would you let a dog lick your feet, surely that's animal cruelty.
