What to do about warts?

[Dedpuhl]

Worth a shot

Hell yeah.... :disgust:

 

[KameLeon]

you can wash it off afterwards..no big deal!

 

[Scrapster]

It's definately the cheapest route. And you know I'm all about cheap.

warts are caused by a virus.. if you get rid of them they can still come back if you get stressed out.

I had a wart on my thumb, compound W didn't do anything. Get yourself some silver nitrate, the stuff I had comes on the end of a stick like a q-tip. Get it wet and smear it on your wart. Mine fell off in a week.

if you have many warts it's most important to find main one (mother) kill that one first

So in a sense, warts are like Metroids, and you must kill Mother Brain in order to destroy them all....interesting.

I unfortunately got warts when I was young, and they still like to recur occasionally.

If I'm treating them myself, here's what I suggest. Get an OTC treatment with the patches. The liquid wart remover works with something like 20% salicylic acid to destroy the tissue. However, the patches use 40% salicylic acid and are much more efficient. Plus I think that liquid stuff uses acetone as a solvent, so it stinks really bad.

After a few days, you should notice that alot of the tissue is dead. Soak the wart in warm water for 5 minutes and then use a sharp knife of file to get rid of all the dead tissue. It takes a few applications, but you'll eventually get there.

Of course, if you want to do it quick then you should see a dermatologist. General Practice doctors generally don't always do a complete job on warts (atleast in my experience)

Good luck.

Yea, the hive queen. I used to get planter warts which are viral and infect a single cell and turn it into this huge root like thing that grows down in the meat. If you shave the tow off with a razor blade and let the little carrots dry out for a few days you can get ahold of them with a tweezers and pull them out, root and all. Like my Chinese vegetableman says, &quot;Flesh carrots anyone.&quot;

No no no...it's like Independence Day (ID4). You have to kill the mothership by &quot;giving it a cold&quot;; a virus of it's own. So what you need to do is find the motherwart, connect your Apple PowerBook G4 (which I am SURE you own) to it and upload the a virus to it!

On a serious note: Go see a Dermatologist. For most people, the OTC products like Compound-W do not work.

Heh, this reminds me of something kinda stupid I did when I was younger. I was out back and shooting things with my pellet gun and a pellet bounced off of something and hit me in the leg. It broke the skin and I could see the pellet 1/2 way in there, so I pulled it out and cleaned up. About a month or so later a little lump kinda formed where I had been shot and when my mom asked me what it was I told her I didn't know... i didn't want her to know that I shot myself. A while later I was at the doctors for a random checkup thing and my mom asked the Dr to look at it, he poked and said it might be a wart and if it was it would be numb... so I told him that it was in fear of the mother. Then he proceeded to scrape it off and then put hydocloreceptic acid on it to burn it away some. I wasn't supposed to be feeling the burning and the pain but I was... ohh yes... I was. Wasn't very fun.

 

[Scrapster]

Holy crap, I just whizzed on my finger and the wart is feeling a bit tingly. Hope this works.

 

[Wah]

haha...

I just finished watching &quot;Boys Don't Cry&quot;. Did anyone else notice Chlo&euml; Sevigny's peculiarly placed wart? unreal.

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

are you typing with that urine soaked finger still?

 

[iamwiz82]

i have cut off mine on my foot, never came back. That bastard =].

 

[ArkAoss]

Had a wort once for a few months as a kid, my dad cut the thing to the core, and the sucker never came back. KNow a guy who has them real bad all over his hands. I think he recently got rid of them all. Knew a kid once, who froze it and cut it off, never came back, they had tried lazering it off. Try freezing the little ah heck with canned air.


Oh and that's not a nice way to refer to your sisters fiance.

i hate warts, i had this wart, it made me so mad...always feeling it, so i just grabbed my butterfly, cut deep, cuz you need to get the roots, sparked a ciggy, and burned it. wart has been gone since. cant even remember what hand it was on.
