I have a small wart on one finger, i have had it for years, so anyone have a magic cure?
Chi Meson said:Seriously, I have used the product "Compound W" before, and it did work. It took about two weeks, so I'm not too sure if it was psychosomatic or not. It sort of peeled it off bit by bit and ultimately left a hole in my skin, but all is well now; I just use a different finger when I play piano.
There are certain parts of the body where you definitely do NOT want to use that then.Tom Mattson said:It worked for me like that too. The wart turned bright white and crusty, and pieces of it just fell off until it was gone.

I cut mine out with a Victorionox 3-blade knife with a really new sharp main blade. There was a little thin white thread at the bottom of the hole that really caught my attention when I removed it. The wart is still gone, though.wolram said:for crying out loud what has happened to you MIH, have you been in the biscuit barrel a few to many times
And yes i have seen a doctor, he was as much use as a chocolate
fire guard, he said it is no use cutting it out as it will only come
back.
Over-the-counter medications can remove warts. These are applied to the wart every day for several weeks. DO NOT use these medications on your face or genitals. It helps to file the wart down when damp (for example, after a bath or shower) before applying these medications.
Stronger (prescription) medications may be required for removal of persistent warts. Surgical removal or removal by freezing (cryotherapy), burning (electrocautery), or laser treatment may be needed.
DO NOT attempt to remove a wart yourself by burning, cutting, tearing, picking...
Yes! That's exactly what happened.wolram said:for crying out loud what has happened to you MIH, have you been in the biscuit barrel a few to many times

I haven't looked to see what the exact formulation is, but native Americans used willow bark as a pain reliever.Ouabache said:Here's some botanical trivia, what common plant(s) contain the methyl-ester of salicylic acid?

Finger warts are caused by a virus called the human papillomavirus (HPV). This virus can be easily spread through skin-to-skin contact or by touching objects that have been in contact with the virus.
Finger warts usually appear as small, flesh-colored bumps on the fingers or around the nails. They may also have tiny black dots in the center. If you are unsure, it is best to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis.
In some cases, finger warts may go away on their own without treatment. However, this can take months or even years, and the wart may continue to spread during this time. It is best to seek treatment to prevent the wart from spreading or becoming more difficult to remove.
There are several treatment options for finger warts, including over-the-counter medications, cryotherapy (freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen), laser treatment, and surgical removal. The best treatment option will depend on the size, location, and severity of the wart.
To prevent finger warts, it is important to practice good hygiene and avoid touching warts on yourself or others. If you have a finger wart, cover it with a bandage to prevent spreading it to other areas of your body or to other people. It is also important to avoid sharing personal items, such as towels or nail clippers, with others.
