Maybe?: (i've never heard that it should work) but placebo effect is real, so give it a good try, then let us know. We'll spread the word! if not see a doc about the other standard treatments.

Vicks: Vicks is a popular remedy for many problems including toenail fungus- it has been shown in studies to have mild antifungal properties, but it is mostly ineffective for toenails. There are no studies that show it is effective against the verucca virus. However, any product has a slight chance of working as a placebo effect.
