If your child has a ard callous underneath their foot then there's a very high chance they ave picked up a wart or verruca. These hard lumps or blister looking like growths are a real pain and children under 10 years attract them like crazy.
Reasons why children get warts and to avoid getting them in the first place
Barefoot PE /school exercise ,why do schools always do PE barefoot now this is probably a safety reason but a room full of kids running around you do the maths if just two children have warts soon the virus will be spread to other feet.
Swimming pools. Always a big problem adults and children barefoot walking across wet hard floors, changing room floors which are perfect breeding places.
I always advise my families to wear flip flops at all times walking from the pool and whist changing clothes.
Verruca and wart socks can be a perfect deterrent too and come in children and adult sizes, personally I would rather wear a pair and protect my feet . Prices start from £3.40 by Aquaguard and their socks fit adults and children
Never go into communal pools or area when athletes foot or abrasions are present.
Rubbing feet ! Yep we all do it when relaxing or in bed we rub our feet together in contentment
Sharing towels , don't!
Picking ! A pet ate of mine but children are prone to. Touch their feet when they have warts
Always make sure they wash their ands as te virus will be spread with contact.
Verruca and wart treatments for children reviews
Here are the best selection of wart creams and freezing home remedies I find that actually work well on children and are safe and painless.
1} Wartner Freezing Pen
Product Description
Current acid treatments require a prolonged treatment period and are often difficult to apply in a convenient and targeted way. The Wartner verruca and wart removal pen - offering visible results within the first week - is based on the acid/liquid method. It effectively eliminates warts and verrucas in a short time period, whilst providing users with an easy to use applicator. The TCA gel used in Wartner verruca and wart removal pen offers a treatment proposition compared to conventional salicylic acid based liquids and gels: 1. Visible results within the first week, 2. Suitable for children, 3. Pen applicator, 4. Gel form, 5. No effect on blood coagulation.
Indications
Wartner is suitable for the removal of warts and verrucas. Common warts are usually found on the hands, knees and elbows and are recognised by the rough 'cauliflower-like' appearance of the surface. Verrucas are very similar but only appear on the sole of the foot. They tend to be much flatter in appearance, and are sometimes covered by callous skin.
Ingredients
Tichloroacetic Acid
Directions
Easy to use 4 step application. 1.Hold the pen vertically with the brush tip facing downwards. Slowly turn/click the dial on the top of the Pen clockwise to dispense the gel. 2.Allow the gel to flow into the brush tip for 3 to 5 seconds. 3.Carefully apply the dispensed gel only on the wart or verruca (avoid touching healthy skin surrounding it). If accidently applied on surrounding skin, please wash off immediately. 4.Let the gel dry for 10-15 minutes before putting on clothes or shoes.
Safety Warning
External use only. Do not use on any other areas than hands and feet. Carefully read the instructions for use. Do not use on open wounds or healthy skin. Do not use on children under the age of 4 years. Keep out of the reach and sight of children. The TCA gel inside the pen is highly concentrated so careful application is needed. Avoid touching the healthy skin around the wart or verruca. If the gel makes contact with healthy skin, clean the area with lots of water and soap. To be used on hands and feet only.

Verruca & Wart Removal Pen
Summing Up
I would recommend using the Wartner pen first before trying podiatry cryosurgery or acid based treatments if your child is very young or nervous, all wart products have a little pain except natural remedies so the wartner pen i give a 4 out 10 for pain management.
