In order not to repeat methods you have already tried before - what
"various treatments" have you tried?

I have several sessions of crytotherapy and freezing treatment as well
as Bazuka verucca gel and a homeopathic remedy. My veruccas have been
on my feet for several years.

Hello, 
I'm going to answer your question by doing a few things here. First,
I'm going to tell you about some treatments, both "home remedies" and
medical that you may not have tried.

Google search: Wart removal medications (Over the counter)

1. Over the counter medications... Anything with lactic acid or
salytic acid, such as..

Google Search: Wart removal home remedies

2. Home remedies, (there is no gaurentee that ANY of these will
work....)

-- this one uses a combination of essential oils

-- old wives tale, not really safe, I wouldn't recomend it, but it was
good for a laugh.

Google search: Wart removal by a dermatologist

3.Medical removal
http://parents.berkeley.edu/advice/health/warts.html
-- has some storues about different ways it can be done.
One of the points I'd like to make is, there is "freezing" it
off,(liquid nitrogen usually) "Burning" it off (cauterizing it with
heat), and "cutting" it out, (removal by entirely removing it from the
body)
NONE of there work the first time, everytime. For some it does, for
some it may take a combination of all of them, or 2 or 3 times of 1.


Try looking in your local phone book, under "Physician-Dermatologist"
Any of these professionals can help you with the medical aspect, if
you choose to go that route.
"Call for an appointment with your health care provider if warts are
present and there are signs of complications, or if warts do not
respond to over-the-counter treatment and removal is desired."

Good Luck!

cryotherapy and freezing are the same thing. When freezing doesn't
work, cauterization (cooking, essentially) may. It requires numbing
the area first, then using the cautery. It sometimes needs to be done
more than once.
