New verruca on sole of foot - have a history of verrucas

Hi, I have noticed a verruca on the sole of my left foot. I noticed it just yesterday when it felt like a had a pebble in my sock. It is very small, I thought it was just dry skin at first, until I used a pumice stone to rub it off and realized it was a verruca. Today it felt very obvious to me that it was there.

I've tried below to give as many details about my situation as I could, following instructions I saw in other threads:

I have had verrucas and warts before and think I've noticed a pattern in my emotions and situation at the time. When I was a teenager/young adult (from age 15-22)I had verrucas on my toes (a cluster of about 5-6) and one of my foot. They would throb and hurt a lot when I walked and even if I was just sitting down. At the time I was very stressed out at school and feeling unliked and bullied and lonely. I tried many methods to get rid of the verrucas but nothing worked. Eventually I cut them out with nail clippers and it was very painful but they didn't come back. Then when I was in my mid twenties (age 26-27) I got warts on my face, around my chin and mouth and on my right cheek and neck. At that time I feeling very tired, stressed out and lonely as I was traveling a lot and unable to see family and friends. I felt unappreciated in my work. On the advice of a local homeopathic practitioner I tried thuja m and the face warts all disappeared within 3 weeks. I didn't have any more problems with warts until now.

Now I am 37 years old, and discovered a verruca on the sole of my left foot, under my big toe. I've been feeling lonely and stressed out due to both work and personal life. This whole year has been very tough for me as I lost some very close friends due to personal differences. I do a lot to help those close to me and in my work place but feel unappreciated because of how they treat me which is very disrespectful and dismissive. They also try to make me feel as if it is my fault that they treat me badly. I feel taken advantage of and wrongly accused.

I'm female, single, and I work in activism and community organizing. I'm also a writer. I eat a very healthy vegan diet with lots of lentils and vegetables. I have cravings for sugar also and have eaten a lot of desserts during this coronavirus lockdown.

For exercise I used to like taking long walks but I stopped because I was stalked by a man for several years. Now I feel uncomfortable being outside for long periods of time by myself and prefer to be at home. This is very different to how I used to be so I know it is because of my trauma from being stalked.

I work long hours, either in meetings or on my computer. I also do public speaking for my work and am often praised for my ability to keep my audiences attention in difficult topics. People tell me that I'm an inspiring speaker and I get regular requests to speak. I've not been able to do much public speaking because of this coronavirus lockdown and that feels very frustrating to me. I feel defeated, tired, frustrated, and it feels like I get a lump in my throat. It's not a physical lump but it feels like my thyroid is straining to work. My doctor has taken blood tests that showed that my thyroid has indeed been straining to work and I take supplements to help that. The lump can happen any time of day or night and is not constant, it happens only when I'm feeling like people are not taking my work seriously or believing me when I tell them the truth.

Other physical sufferings are being overweight. I am not that overweigh but I do wish I could lose 15 lbs of fat and this does make me feel sad often. I know I can lose it if I stop eating sugar and walk more but haven't been feeling motivated to do that. I also have been feeling very tired recently and my right eye has that feeling of being twitchy and strained. I was diagnosed with acid reflux (GERD) when I was 30 and have been treating it with diet and cranial sacral and visceral manipulation ever since. I believe the GERD came from a lot of emotional stress from family and also from taking Ibuprofen for years for menstrual pain. I have managed to heal it almost entirely and now only get flare ups when I'm particularly stressed or when I eat a lot of sugar. I have noticed that I've had some acid reflux the last few days.

I also tend to suffer from cold sores on my lips or around my mouth. I got my first I was 12 and have suffered from them since. I get them usually when my immunity is very low or when I eat something that triggers them. I've been taking a lot of supplements and eating very healthy over the last year so I haven't had a cold sore in a year.

I dealt with a lot of acne when I was teenager (age 18-21) which calmed down gradually as I got older. Now I only tend to get acne when I'm going to start my menses but I've have several spots this month for no seeming reason. I think it could be because of the sugar I've been eating and also have changed my pillow cases to see if that's the problem.

I have a surgery scheduled for this May on my left foot to repair an injury that happened 12 years ago. At that time I broke my big toe and second toe (aged 26-27) and in the time since the broken toes healed badly and are deformed so I now have a bunion on my big toe. This is the same foot I now have the verruca. I might reschedule the surgery because of the lockdown and also if I can't get rid of this verruca soon.

I sleep well, but have been going to sleep very late the last few weeks, around 3am or 4am. I sleep on my side or on my back. I'm told I sometimes snore when I sleep on my back but others have told me I don't snore at all as well. I wake up very late as a result, around 10am or 11am. I have found it very hard to get out of bed when I do wake up, so I stay in bed and read or just doze. I don't want to get up and face the world because I feel like the people around me don't care about me anyway.

My menses are regular, usually every 27-28 days. I get menstrual pain but I use 4-5 pellets of magnesia phospherica 30c several times a day and that helps the pain. I also take that same remedy for acid reflux too, whenever I get a flare up of acid reflux.

I get tense around my shoulders and neck, and like to get massages for that but haven't since the lockdown. I also get very tight in my calve muscles so have to do stretches on those to make it easier to walk.

I prefer warm weather but not too hot. I hate it when it's cold and wet. I also prefer dry heat to humid. I like thunderstorms although I would be alarmed to see one in my area as the weather is always mild here in this region and a thunderstorm would be out of the ordinary.

I usually have an even temperament. I can get irritated quickly and speak passionately and loudly. This is usually never directed at one person, it is usually directed at the situation. I feel injustice very deeply and it hurts me to see others suffer. I get motivated quickly to help others. When I am angry I will usually talk about what made me angry, I don't make personal attacks or try to make the other person feel bad. I'm just trying to explain to them what is wrong.

I am confident in my abilities and know that I'm good at my job, which is why I get so offended when people take me for granted or don't appreciate my expertise. I'm not arrogant, I listen when I'm told if I've done something wrong or need to change something. I'm usually happen to listen to suggestions on how to change if that makes my work better.

I have very little tolerance for lies or corruption so call out any corruption I see very quickly. This comes from my sense of justice and fairness, and I want everyone to see the truth.

I've always trusted my gut instincts when it comes to character judgements and am almost always proven right about most people. So I keep people I don't trust at a distance. It still hurts if they do treat me badly, but I knew to expect it so it's not a shock usually.

I do like to laugh and am social, so people often don't realize when I'm hurt, because I'm good at covering it up. But if I'm asked then I usually tell the truth about how I'm feeling because I know that it doesn't help to pretend like nothing is wrong. It just depends on whether I think telling them will make a difference in their behavior.

I like to be consoled by friends or my partner but haven't had a partner in several years now, and I can't hug or be close to my friends due to the lockdown. I have been trying to be a resource that people can go to for help but haven't had much help myself. I do have a therapist but have been forgetting appointments because I was too busy helping others to think about myself.

I have hyper vigilance (because of being stalked and attacked in my past) so I notice if there are sounds that don't belong and I check on my surroundings. I'm not sensitive to particular noises though. I tend to listen to most types of music and am fine with noise from crowds.

I get teary easily when thinking about spiritual things because I have a close relationship with God and it makes me feel happy to think about God. I also get teary when dealing with deep topics, trauma, oppression. Since this is my job, I get that way a lot.

I don't have any nervous habits. I'm not addicted to anything except maybe sugar. I don't drink tea or coffee or alcohol and I don't smoke or take any drugs. I'm not on any pharmaceutical medicines. I only take natural medicines for ailments.

I love my family and friends but don't feel appreciated or understood by most of them. This leads me to stay distant from them, to avoid being hurt by their dismissiveness and disregard. I don't have a partner.

I don't have any repeated dreams. My fear is to not be believed. I think this comes from past situations in my life when I wasn't believed by those close to me, and it hurt me deeply.

Food cravings are cake, cheese, fresh citrus tastes, soft textures and rich fatty flavors. I like sour and bitter foods but not too sour or too bitter. I prefer it to be balanced with other tastes. I prefer hot or warm foods to cold.

I don't normally get thirsty and so tend to be dehydrated so I've been working on drinking more water every day. I tend to get about 4-5 glasses a day if I'm being very disciplined about it.

My hunger varies from month to month and I noticed that it correlated to which ovary I ovulated from. I get mild stabbing pain from ovulation so I know if it's my left or right ovary. On months when I ovulate from my left ovary, I tend to eat a lot (3-4 meals a day). On months when I ovulate from my right ovary, I'm not very hungry at all and don't eat much (maybe 1 or 2 meals a day).

I've been vegetarian my whole life and vegan for the last 5-6 years. Other than animal products, I also avoid onions and garlic (for spiritual reasons and they also give me acid reflux). I also avoid bananas, licorice, and peppermint because they give me acid reflux.

My sweat is normal although recently I haven't sweat much because I'm not doing much exercise. The sweat odor is mild, not overpowering and concentrated under my arms usually. Sometimes I sweat on my legs, and my back and on my neck (when I'm doing exercise).

I have a normal bowel movement once a day, sometimes two if I eat alot. The stool is well formed, and passes usually easily unless I've eaten a lot of beans and it's a bit harder than normal.

I am not having any sex as I don't have a partner and can feel frustrated sometimes but not enough to look for a partner.

My mother has high blood pressure, asthma, arthritis, and osteoperosis, and my father has arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and hypothyroidism. Diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, and hypothyroidism run in my family.

I'm 5'3", 145 lbs, medium build, light brown skin, long smooth black hair with a few strands of grey beginning to appear, large brown eyes with long thick eyelashes and thick eyebrows with high arches. Large breasts, small hands and wrists, short torso, my extra weight tends to gather on my stomach and upper arms. Heart-shaped face. I dress simply in dark jewel colors. Although I like to look nice, I usually don't have time to think about my appearance or make an effort.

Major diseases:
Age 2: kawasaki's disease
Age 4: jaundice
Age 14: chicken pox

Thanks so much! I'll order them and start the dosage. Will report back.

Of the Nux Vom 200, is it 200C? I'm confused about how to take it because I've never used the drops. Can I take pellets also?

And of the Nit Acid 30? Is that C also? I couldn't find Nit Acid in the store, is it the Nitri Dulcis Spiritus it's linking to? or Nit Acidum? I think you probably mean Nit Acidum but wanted to check?

Also, I was impatient to get rid of the verruca and have been taking Thuja M for the last two days. I've been taking 15 tiny pellets a day. That is what I took when I had the face warts and they went in three weeks. Should I stop taking that?

Bluerose, I am not a homeopath but I know enough, enough to tell you that you need to go and see a well reputed homeopath who practises Classical Homeopathy and has at least 20+ years experience. Trust me.

From what you have written about yourself, it is clearly evident you have been through so much mentally and physically. Your body has been put through so much. You will only make it worse if you decide to take a cocktail of different homeopathic remedies. You should also not be self administering homeopathic remedies. This will only result in 1 step forward and 2 steps back.

No offence to Anuj, but my advice is please go and see a classical homeopath.

Thanks, unified. The lockdown makes it harder to be able to find a good homeopath because I don't have any extra funds to pay for the consultations. So I thought I would ask the people here what they thought. But I appreciate your advice and will try to figure out something. If you know of any homeopath who is offering free consultations then let me know.

Anuj, thank you for your advice. I've written down the medicines you suggested and will so more research on them. I'll see what the Thuja does first and then if it doesn't get rid of the verruca I'll do more research about what to do. Do you also think I should go to a classical homeopath (when I have money)? I don't know when that will be and I really want to get rid of this verruca before it gets worse. I really appreciate your response and help. Thank you.

SEND ME A MAIL SO I CAN POST YOU THE EXTRACT OF RECEARCH I HAVE DONE . VERY DIFFICULT TO UPLOAD BECAUSE ONLY VERY SMALL FILES CAN BE UPLOADED.

YOU ARE MOST WELCOME TO USE YOUR DISCRETION FOR RESEARCHING THE MEDICINES OR OPTING FOR A HOMEOPATH IN YOUR PLACE.

Depends on where you are based? I know a very good homeopath in India and UK. They’re good because I was cured through them.
