Medical Advice for Jmanspice

[The Senator]

I figure this is a common problem, so I think it is alright to ask for advice here.

I have had a plantar wart on my right foot since September, and have tried several remedies to get rid of it. I have seen a doctor about this, and he gave me several over-the-counter suggestions, as well as a surgical option. I have tried freezing it and using salicylic acid, but that has not worked thus far. I heard duct tape may work, but I'm a bit of a skeptic.

I have scheduled another doctor's appointment a week from Wednesday, so I will obviously seek advice while I am there. In the mean time, does anyone (preferably someone who had this problem in the past) have a suggestion as to what I could do to either 1) remove the damn thing, or 2) ease the pain?

John Cale always eases the pain for me.

 

[The Squirrel]

Have you tried webmd?

 

[The Senator]

Yes-- I'm simply looking to see if some of the proposed treatments from all around the internets actually work.

Well, when warts develop souls and affinities for music, I'll try that out...

Take a piss on it.

Hacksaw?

I don't think he'd help...

Take a piss on it.

That only cures urchin stings, I'm afraid.

Hacksaw?

If this was the Civil War, maybe I'd try it. But I think modern medicine has evolved beyond sawing off body parts once they become infected.

my brother is having the same problem...go see a dermatologist...he just got his burnt off(or somethin like that) and then peeled off and it seems to be working...idk exactly what they did but defenitely see a dermatologist

I had what was possibly a planters wart on the bottom of my heel for quite some time when I was younger.
Being deathly afraid of the doctor I sterilized a razor blade and sheared it off myself (i think i might have dug out a bit too).
Not that I would suggest such a thing, but it worked for me. Never came back at least.

my brother took a nail file to his, filed it until it bled, squeezed it until the fluid came out, put alcohol on it and a band aid and when he took the band aid off, it was gone

I had a wart on my hand for aaaaagggggeeeesssss, I mean months. Then one day I woke up and it was gone! So i'm not sure what you should do man, you could wait it out and it might just go away by itself. But i heard bazooka is pretty good.

Why stop at cutting off your foot? How about chopping off your entire leg?

i had a wart on my finger earlier this year and i got some over the counter wart freezer thing

i just had to file the skin above it down and do like 3 ten second holds of this thing over it and within a week or so it had fallen off

saying that, i don't know what a plantar wart is...

 

[JayCaz]

Yeah, what's a plantar wart?

anyhoo

I had a wart on my thumb when I was 17, I've got a high pain threshold, so I kinda just got some nail clippers & clipped it off. Probably not the safest method granted, but it never came back.

 

[knowsbleed]

This thread is just disturbing. ****ing ew. Nail files, nail clippers and hacksaws?? *leaves*

 

[Eggyman]

Just keep playing with it until it falls off/becomes infected.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

The wart on my hand was a bit of a result really. When I got nicked they obviously took my finger prints, but there was a wart on one of them! Now it has gone! So my finger print now doesn't match the one they have got!

MUWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That's my gimmick! No!
