0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hello, my name is Dr Ranj, and welcome to my surgery.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Are you well?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07ALL: Yes!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Good. Someone isn't feeling well.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11I wonder who my next patient is.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Who has come to visit me? Who will it be?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Can you guess which friend it is? Let's see.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21It's...
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Petal!
0:01:22 > 0:01:26# With buttons and bangles They jangle as I hop
0:01:26 > 0:01:30# When I'm having so much fun It's hard for me to stop

0:01:47 > 0:01:51# Twirling, twisting, skating Skipping, in my dancing shoes. #
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Woo!
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- Hello, Petal. How are you feeling? - Oh, hello, Dr Ranj.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58I'm feeling fine.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I'm very pleased to hear that. So, how can I help you today?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Well, it's not really anything
0:02:04 > 0:02:07except, well, I've got this little black spot on my foot.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Ah!- And my brother says it's a pixie pimple.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14You don't think it could be a pixie pimple, do you, Dr Ranj?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17No, I'm sure it isn't. I think your brother made that up.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- Would you like me to take a look? - Yes, yes!
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Ready!- That was quick. Now, let's have a look.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- SHE GIGGLES - Oh, that tickles.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36I thought it was just a bit of dirt, but then it wouldn't come off.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Does it hurt? - No, it doesn't hurt at all.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Well, Petal, it's not dirt.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- No? What is it?- Well, sometimes a germ can get into your foot.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48A germ?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50It's like a tiny, tiny, little bug.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55- A bug?- Let me show you. Imagine this is a bug.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58They don't really look like this. They are so tiny,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00you can't really see them.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02But when a bug, or a germ, finds a place it likes,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04it starts to spread out.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08And soon, there's a whole lot of them, in a big gang of bugs.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10A gang of bugs?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12In my foot? Wow!
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Well, kind of. The bugs make a lump of rough skin.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- My spot.- That's right. They make a spot.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- And when you walk on it, or run on it...- Or dance on it.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I love dancing!
0:03:24 > 0:03:28..or dance on it, it presses the rough lump into your foot,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31and that makes a spot like yours, called a verruca.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Verruca.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36A super verruuuca!
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Hmm. Um, can you make it go away?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Verrucas don't hurt you and they usually go away on their own.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- When?- Well, it might take quite a while.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Sometimes verrucas go after a few weeks.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52But sometimes they hang about for a whole year.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54A whole year? That's forever!
0:03:54 > 0:03:57With luck, yours will go sooner than that.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Oh, Dr Ranj, how did a gang of bugs get in my foot?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Now, that's a good question. You caught it from someone else.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- Do you ever go swimming?- Oh, yes, I love swimming. I'm really good.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- I have a sustickyfoot. - Wow, a certificate!
0:04:12 > 0:04:15"This certifies that Petal can swim ten metres."
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Yes, I swam a whole width... without armbands.- Very good.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Did you know verruca germs like to live in nice, warm, damp places?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Like at the swimming pool?- Exactly.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Probably someone there had a verruca and you caught it from them.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Does that mean I can't go swimming,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34in case someone catches a verruca for me?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Well, actually, you can go swimming,
0:04:37 > 0:04:41but you'll have to wear a swimming sock. Like this.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- SHE GIGGLES - A sock? For swimming?
0:04:43 > 0:04:47You're funny. You can't swim in socks!
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- No, it's true, you can. - You're making it up!
0:04:50 > 0:04:54I tell you what, why don't we have a word with Nurse Morag?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57The Healthy Helpers can show you why you should wear a swim sock.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Yes, yes!
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- Switch it on, and off we go! - Hello, Nurse Morag.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- I do believe that's Petal! - Yes, yes, it's me, Petal.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- How can I help you today? - Well, Nurse Morag,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Dr Ranj, he's very funny.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19He says I have to wear a sock to swim.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Ah! Have you got a verruca?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Yes, yes, I have.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26You're so clever, how did you know?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Because people with verrucas need to wear socks to go swimming.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- Really? But why? - Ah, now that's a good question.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I'll need to ask my Healthy Helpers.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38ALL: Hello!
0:05:40 > 0:05:41# Catch that ball
0:05:41 > 0:05:44# Yeah, it's your goal Give me questions
0:05:44 > 0:05:45# Catch and throw Healthy Helpers
0:05:45 > 0:05:50# Will show and tell How you can keep fit and well
0:05:50 > 0:05:52# Catch that ball Yeah, it's your goal
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- # Give me questions, catch and throw - Ask the nurse
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- # Healthy Helpers will show and tell - Ask the nurse
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- # How you can keep fit and well - Ask the nurse
0:05:59 > 0:06:03# Ask me what you need to know
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- #- Ask the nurse - Catch that ball
0:06:06 > 0:06:09# Yeah, it's your goal Give me questions, catch and throw
0:06:09 > 0:06:14# Helping Helpers will show and tell How you can keep fit and well
0:06:14 > 0:06:18# Ask me what you need to know
0:06:18 > 0:06:23# Give me questions Catch and throw! #
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Today, I'm in London, and my Healthy Helpers are...
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Hello, my name is Lucia, and I like horse riding and ice skating.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Hello, my name is Isaac, and I love swimming.
0:06:35 > 0:06:41Hello, my name is Janice, and I love going swimming and going to cinemas.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Hello, my name is Mark and I love going to the beach.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Hey, guys. This looks like good fun.
0:06:50 > 0:06:56Now, who can tell me who here has had a verruca on their foot?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58You have? Tell me all about it.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I have had one on my hand and my foot,
0:07:01 > 0:07:05but you have to have this special sock on it
0:07:05 > 0:07:10- and a special glove on your hand. - Wow. And why is that?
0:07:10 > 0:07:15Because it spreads out... It spreads out in the water.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Oh, that's why you had to wear the stock.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20I see. Who else has had a verruca?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Yes.- And what happened when you had a verruca?
0:07:23 > 0:07:28I had to wear this special sock at swimming.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30And why was that?
0:07:30 > 0:07:35So that it wouldn't spread to everywhere around the water.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37That's right.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Because verrucas are caused by viruses,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43and they are very, very infectious,
0:07:43 > 0:07:47which means they can spread from person to person really easily.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52And that's why we wear a special thing called a verruca sock.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Now, you girls had one, didn't you?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- Yeah.- And did it work?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Shall we play a game to show everyone?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04ALL: Yes!
0:08:04 > 0:08:07OK, guys, come on this way.
0:08:07 > 0:08:13All our Healthy Helpers have lovely, clean feet, and that's great.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17And the bugs that cause the verrucas are called viruses.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21That's what we have in the tray here, the verruca virus.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24But, you don't need to worry, because it's just pretend,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26it's only green paint.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Now, this big sheet of paper is the edge of a swimming pool,
0:08:30 > 0:08:34and is the perfect conditions for the verruca virus to grow and spread.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38What we're going to do is have our Healthy Helper Lucia put her feet
0:08:38 > 0:08:42into the green paint and walk around the edge of the pool.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Off you go then.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50OK. Oh, it's a bit slidey.
0:08:50 > 0:08:56What have we got left at the side of the swimming pool? But all the virus.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Now, what do you think would happen if the rest of you guys
0:08:59 > 0:09:02were to walk around the pool? Let's find out.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12Well done. Everyone walk around the sides.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Ah!- Ah! - Careful, don't fall in the pool!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17That's enough.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21OK, guys, make your way back in, and come and jump up on the table.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Right, let's see you those feet.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32My goodness! Every one of you is covered in green paint!
0:09:32 > 0:09:35And this shows you how easily the virus can spread
0:09:35 > 0:09:37from person to person.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Lucia is pretending to have the verruca virus,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43but this time she'll wear her verruca sock
0:09:43 > 0:09:48so she doesn't give the virus to anyone else. So, you pop this on.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51That's it. It can be a wee bit tight.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Well done.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Now, what I want you to do
0:09:58 > 0:10:01is hop down and run round the swimming pool,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03just like you did before. OK?
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Off you go.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07And the rest of you guys, go join in as well.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Come on, Isaac.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Excellent. All of you walk right round it.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14OK.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Right, everyone, back up, let's have a look, see what happened.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Let me see those tootsies.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Oh! And everyone has clean feet!
0:10:25 > 0:10:28So, because Lucia wore her swimming sock,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31the verruca virus hasn't spread to the others.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33ALL: Yay!
0:10:33 > 0:10:36So, you see, Petal, if you've got a verruca
0:10:36 > 0:10:38and you want to go swimming,
0:10:38 > 0:10:42wear your swimming sock and then you won't spread it to anyone else.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46ALL: Get well soon, Petal!
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- Thank you. Bye, Healthy Helpers. - Thanks. See you soon, Nurse Morag.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Bye for now!
0:10:52 > 0:10:56So, a swimming sock keeps your verruca germs tucked safely inside
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- so they can't get out.- Exactly.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02So, then you won't spread your verruca to anyone else.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- I don't want to do that, Dr Ranj. - No, you don't.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Have you got a super verruca, too, Dr Ranj?- Not right now,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11but I have a sock just in case I get one.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Here's a treatment for you.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17I'll give this cream to your mum to put on your verruca
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- to help it go away faster. - Oh, yes, make it go fast.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Until it's gone, you must wear a sock every time you go swimming.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27You can get one from the chemist.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Perhaps I can get a sparkly golden one.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Now that would be cool, Petal.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Why is my foot sore, Dr Ranj?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40# Your foot's on the ground and the germ gets in
0:11:40 > 0:11:43# Makes a verruca grow upon your skin
0:11:43 > 0:11:46# To stop that germ from getting to your friends
0:11:46 > 0:11:48# Putting on a sock is what the doctor recommends
0:11:48 > 0:11:51# To stop that germ from getting to your friends
0:11:51 > 0:11:54# Putting on a sock is what the doctor recommends
0:11:54 > 0:11:56# It's just a verruca Just a little lump
0:11:56 > 0:11:59# Of roughened up skin Makes a tiny, ouchy bump
0:11:59 > 0:12:02# To stop the germ from getting to your friends
0:12:02 > 0:12:04# Putting on a sock is what the doctor recommends
0:12:04 > 0:12:07# To stop that germ from getting to your friends
0:12:07 > 0:12:10# Putting on a sock is what the doctor recommends
0:12:10 > 0:12:12# Splashing in the shower or going for a swim
0:12:12 > 0:12:15# Putting on the sock keeps that germ safely in
0:12:15 > 0:12:16# That's good.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18# A stripy socks keeps the germs away
0:12:18 > 0:12:20# From all your friends So go ahead and play!
0:12:20 > 0:12:21# Yay!
0:12:21 > 0:12:23# To stop that germ from getting to your friends
0:12:23 > 0:12:26# Putting on a stock is what the doctor recommends
0:12:26 > 0:12:29# To stop that germ from getting to your friends
0:12:29 > 0:12:31# Putting on a sock is what the doctor recommends
0:12:31 > 0:12:34# It's a germ that loves to live on feet
0:12:34 > 0:12:37# Every foot without a sock gives the germ a little treat
0:12:37 > 0:12:39# To stop that germ from getting to your friends
0:12:39 > 0:12:42# Putting on a sock is what the doctor recommends
0:12:42 > 0:12:44# To stop that germ from getting to your friends

0:12:50 > 0:12:52# Putting on a sock is what the doctor recommends
0:12:52 > 0:12:55# To stop that germ from getting to your friends
0:12:55 > 0:13:01# Putting on a sock is what the doctor recommends. #
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Great! I'm glad I can go swimming now.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I'm going to wear my super verruca stock
0:13:07 > 0:13:10and not share my verruca with anybody.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Before long, it will have disappeared.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Then no-one will have one, not even me.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Exactly! Now, it's time to be on your way.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Thank you for coming to see me today, Petal. Before you go...
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Brilliant! Thank you.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28I won't take it swimming with me, because I don't want it to get wet.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Bye-bye, Dr Ranj. - Bye, Petal. Get well soon.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34And it was good to have you with us, too.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Join us next time when we'll help someone else feel better.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Until then, be happy, be healthy.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Oh, I'd better get this off!
0:13:58 > 0:14:00If you're not feeling well,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03it's always best to go and see your own doctor, and get well soon.
