I'm really struggling with a stubborn verruca that just won't go away. I've tried all sorts of treatments like verruca gel and even duct tape, but nothing seems to work. Do you think I should see a doctor to have it removed? I'm starting to get worried.

I understand your frustration with the verruca not going away despite trying various treatments. In this case, it would be advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment. They may prescribe stronger medications such as Salicylic acid solution or prescribe cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen to remove the verruca effectively.

I'm on holiday in Egypt and I've been feeling like there are bugs or ants crawling on my back, but when I check, there's nothing there. It's really weird and kind of freaking me out. On top of that, I'm also dealing with constipation in the lower abdomen. What could be causing these symptoms together?
