more on warts

[Guest guest]

Yea Yea, I know I am wayyyy behind on digest still......but I have a

wart of some sort on my little toe It started 10-12 years ago

when I wore high heels to work everyday and I have not been able to

get rid of it. Hubby cuts away at some of the extra growth of dead

like skin, but there is always a little *seed* looking thing that is

impossible for him to get out without me going into hysterics!

LOL It truly feels as if it is a nerve ending! Since this isn't on

the bottom of my foot, then I guess I am looking at something other

than a Plantar's wart then?

Chris,

This is what they call a plantar wart....and I had MANY of them, right

underneath my toes...just where the toes meet the foot.

At the time, the insurance I had did not pay for visits to a podiatrist, and

my regular doc wouldn't do anything for them. He insisted that I go to a

podiatrist. Well, having two small children, and not enough money...I opted

to remove them myself. <wink>

 

Now, I will tell you what *I* did, but this information is not a diagnosis,

nor a recommendation that you do what I did. I cannot be held

responsible if you decide to do this. <big wink>

 

I soaked my foot in warm water, mixed with a small amount of bleach.

Regular Clorox kind. This loosened the thickened skin, and allowed me to

trim the skin away easier. Take a rough bristled nail brush, or toothbrush,

and scrub at the wart. This will open up the skin further, allowing you to

get to the 'seed'. (Now this may actually take several days to several

weeks to actually get these all out) After cutting away what I could, I

used tweezers to pull the 'seeds'. Sometimes I could get them all out,

sometimes just pieces. Clean the area well with isopropyl alcohol, to make

sure you don't have any germs in there. WARNING! These areas will bleed

when you start pulling the 'seed' out. Don't be too alarmed. Anyway, after

I'd done all I could at the time, I'd clean well, put a bit of Neosporin on

the spot, and cover with a bandage. Then I would wait a day or two to let

the soreness go away, and then do it all over again. I removed every one of

the warts I had within just a few weeks. It's been over 10 years, and

they've never come back.

 

It's not a comfortable process, but it works. I actually just did this

on a wart that I had in the palm of my hand a few days ago. I still have a

small spot, and I will have to do it again to remove the rest of the wart,

but I know it will go away as well. You just have to make sure you get all

of that little 'seed' out.

 

Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.

Candy
