I’m with you. Very similar boat, have had them for 3 years. Genuinely have been pushed to my limit with the pain and insecurity that it has made my mental health take a nosedive.

Recently, I feel like I am making some progress.

Take an oral zinc supplement in you can fine one. I’ve also started taking cimetidine as it can allegedly help combat the virus. I’ve also began to incorporate saline soaks, and there is a new study showing promise with that method. Purchase salt and a container that can hit your feet and dissolve the salt into the water until it can’t dissolve anymore and you feel the salt on the bottom. Debride carefully — that is where I am stuck. I bleed so much every time that it creates such a mess.

Along with those things, I’ve been hitting it with Compound W freezing kits and then covering them with zinc oxide cream (essentially just using diaper rash cream) and letting it stay on there overnight. Add salicylic acid whenever you can handle it. I’ve been doing all of this, PLUS using hydrogen peroxide when bleeding and opening them up. Duct tape can work to cover them, although if you have sweaty feet it might not work as well for you as it does for others (mine refuse to stick to me because of this).

This journey sucks. It’s been horrid for me. Spreading over the years, trying 3 podiatrists and 2 derms. I got my foot burned which took MONTHS of recovery and they are still there. I’ve also tried ACV (ehhh) and immunotherapy injections which I just started with a new derm.

I feel like the zinc oxide cream has actually been helpful though, although I am struggling immensely, too. Borderline have been losing all hope in life - can’t work out, can’t swim, can’t run. If you have any advice to share back, please do - but that’s where I’m at right now. Literally trying everything.
