Flakey feet















This shows quite nicely how dry the feet are. The orange skin is just flaking off and new pink skin is showing underneath.
Am trying to decide if this heel is actually free from verrucas now. Its so hard to tell.
I am now going to stop the tea tree on this heel and just moisturise it to give the skin a chance to recover. I am continuing the tea tree, scraping and varnishing on the top part of the foot though.

Slight change of attack




Bad photos due to light, but the redness is from the scraping. Feet are really really dry so I'm going to take a gamble and stop the taping but continue with spotting on the tea tree oil. This way I can moisturise the sides and bottom of my foot. I'm going to use baby moisturiser as that should be nice and gentle. I'm going to try and block out the light and stop reinfection by covering the remaining verrucas with nail varnish.

Are they dying or not?















The skin on the foot is getting drier and drier. Its definately changing, I wish I knew for certain at what point they are definately dead.

Must update more regularly!!!!















Not sure at all whats going on with the white areas. They are all places where the oldest verrucas were, I don't know if this means they are gone or not.

Still tea treeing, scraping and taping. My skin is really begining to dry out now.















The top of the foot is scraping off nicely, I think it is because these were the newest, and were not so deeply rooted.

Have started to banana the top of the foot now as I felt they weren't improving enough. Its really hard getting it to stay in place though, and much harder to scrape as I'm really sensitive on this part of my foot.

No more banana

We are using baby wipes to clean the foot every morning before scraping it with the razor. We have also started to cover the parcel tape with black duck tape in the hope that we are blocking all light from the verruca.
We are also now swopping the banana for tea tree oil. We dab it on each verruca morning and evening using a cotton bud.
