Warts!

[tomm10]

I had a plantar's wart when I was a kid. It was on the ball of my foot and HUGE. Hurt like crazy too. It took THREE trips to the doc to remove it. That's three separate applications of liquid nitrogen. The first time I felt nothing, the second I felt a little burning, and by the third application it just flat out hurt becaseu there was more healthy tissue than wart there.

Don't mess with it yourself. Its easy enough for a doctor to take care of.

I had a few when I was in high school...I had a plantar's wart as well. No clue where it came from; never had a wart before. It was PAINFUL as mentioned, and I had to go to the doctors to have like 5 liquid nitrogen treatments. They weren't cutting it so I also used the acidy- liquid stuff. A pair of tweezers, a high tolerance for pain, and you can rip the little rooty thing out pretty well

I get them on my hands occasionally. What always cures them is a week long dive trip. Soaking in saltwater for 3-4 dives a day gets rid of them every time. Yes, it's painful, but effective

i read in the newspaper something about leaving duct tape on it for a week(?) (don't remember how long )and it would come off.
haven't had the opportunity to try it, thank goodness
