I have been to the doctors for about 5 weeks having Verruca freezing treatment. The doctor told me that there were no more black dots in the Verruca and that all i have to do is wait until they fall off. I have waited a week now, but how long will it take for them to fall off? Please can you answer my question, it would be very much appreciated.

I am 16 and two years ago I had the correction operatio for severe scoliosis. I had nerve damage and as a result can not move my left. I have had loads of problems with it and had to stop doing D of E because I ended up up in hospital on the practice. Has anyone else had problems after spinal surgery? x
