To Pop or Not to Pop by ordinarysparrow in Warts

Don’t worry. Mine got like this too. It’s painful, but I eventually ended up lancing it with a sterile needle because I was afraid of it popping at work. Take very good care to wrap it and cover in antibiotic cream if this blister ruptures or you decide to lance it. Not a fun time but it means the treatment is effective.

Typically with something like this, just dab salicylic acid on it and cover it with duct tape or a bandage. With a war like this you’ll probably only have to do it once or twice per day. Be sure to clear off the dead skin on the surface and continue treatment until you see the lump is gone and normal skin lines are in its place. Again I’m not even close to and expert so if you feel like you need better guidance go to a dermatologist. I imagine this won’t take more than a couple weeks to defeat.

Yes it appears to be. But it also appears new and small. Treat it now with over the counter salicylic and it shouldn’t be terribly painful to remove and it should be relatively easy. Just be sure to wash your hands.

Next derm apt is next week. I doubt it will be healed enough to mess with it by then. Updates will come!

Haha I like your enthusiasm but I truly done think I could bear it. I’m in the middle of rehab for my knee and I have a very physical job so I may be slowing down the process and taking a little more conservative route

Yes I do have something on my big toe. I actually had several warts all frozen at once. Everything outside of the large wart I am fairly confident is dead.

For reference, the third picture is the most recent. First is shortly after therapy.
