I had 5 stubborn ones. Eight visits to the podiatrist, who slathered them with acid (I was told that ins co policies are not to allow surgery unless there is actual pain, impaired mobility), did nothing more than reduce some of them slightly. I cannot help that the remedy that eradicated all of them to the extent there are absolutely no sings there was ever a problem will seem as though I'm trying to make a joke here: duct tape. It really worked for me!
