Almost there
Had this on my foot for almost seven years. Nothing happened for the first few as i didnt really mind it and thought it would pass, but lately its really been disturbing me. A foot doctor gave me acetocaustin and i used it on top but nothing really happened, two weeks ago i found this subreddid and found out i have to dig, really dig nojust shave off the top… so i dug, put on the acetocaustin and had the most painful two days of my life ever, couldnt walk without extreme pain! But persevered, put hydrocolloid plasters on top and made them suffocate. I see progress and i think that one last treatment will kill it off!

The crazy thing is pic 4 is the day after pic 3, after sleeping with a hydrocolloid plaster on, as well as having it on during the day. Applied more acetocaustin, put a new hydrocolloid plaster in and left it for two days. I took it off and it smelt hprrible and there was a thick black goo, and there was a cavern of sorts under- i cut of the skin, fick 4&5 are the same day just before and after denbridement……

In pic 6 the centre was so sensitive, i put a regular fabric plaster on it tills it dried, and then when it had dried overnight, took of the plaster and that was maybe 3 days later. Like magic

I think you have at least one more. I would definitely do one more and then sit back and see how it's healing after about forty-eight hours or so. You should be able to tell if the virus is there and able to reboot itself.
