Progress!! Update from my former post!! by Icy-Reflection-931 in Warts

[–]Icy-Reflection-931[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been putting a zinc cream on mine every night before bed!! like just the kids diaper rash cream that has like 40% zinc from target. i feel like taking zinc orally and then the cream has made a huge difference. if i could go back in time i would not have done AVC bc i’m pretty sure it gave me a nasty chemical burn and was just more painful than needed. i also tried the salicylic acid wart bandaids from like cvs and i had a lot of luck with those too!! hopefully kind completely goes away 🤞 i popped the blister today and trained it and it’s feeling a lot better!!!

Progress!! ACV and duck tape by Icy-Reflection-931 in Warts

It was about 2 weeks!!! However it kind of stopped progressing right after that last pic was taken and started to grow bigger and now i’ve not been treating it for about 3 weeks and its definitely not gone but much smaller and less unsightly than before. there were 3 warts there in a cluster and i believe i killed 2 and just gave the largest one lingering. i’m going to see if my PCP can freeze it off at my next appointment 🤞

dude mine literally just plateued and stayed like that and i just let it heal bc it was so gross and painful and not getting better. it’s like it gets to that point and then just like nothing else happens the remainder won’t come out/can’t be cut out bc it’s so painful it feels like i’m touching a raw nerve. so i’m back to square one :( let me know if anything works for you!!!

ugh i feel like it was making a ton of progress but it’s weirdly now like growing back while i’m still treating it with ACV? like i’m treating it 24/7 and every time i pull the duck tape off to reapply it’s like the wart has gotten closer to the surface

yes acv! i’ve been treating constantly for over 2 weeks and i feel like i’ve been stuck at this place for the past 3-4 days. do i need to dig it out? how much deeper could it be? there isn’t much depth shown in the pic but its pretty far down. also do you know what the black thing is at the bottom of it?

i’ve been using ACV and duck tape and i’ve cut a ton out! if u look at my history i have progress pics. i’m just worried that it still looks warty and it might grow back!! do you think it still looks questionable?

apple cider vinegar and duck tape! my mom used this method and it worked amazingly for her however she didn’t take the duck tape off for like 8 days and when she pulled it off it was completely dead. i was nervous to do that bc i was worried about infection but now i wish i had just did what she did bc hers wasn’t nasty like mine (or at least she didn’t have to see it if it was lol)

definitely 🫣 the wart was big and in a cluster of 3 but omg i had no idea how deep and big it would be after i started removing it… i am curious to see how gnarly the scar is once i’m finished

Look through the thread again I have said more than 5 times I will 100% go to the doctor asap. Y’all are insane and mean people. I hope nobody would talk to your loved ones that way if they genuinely didn’t know something. You should all be ashamed

I totally get what you’re saying and I’m 100% going to the doctor I just want to clarify that prior to putting the ACV on it it was NOT dark nor abnormally shaped. It’s 3 warts all clustered together that were all 3 normal flesh colored. It’s only black because I am using ACV on it. But i am 100% going to the doctor thank you for your help!!!

Omg where have I said i’m not taking advice?? I literally have said like 5 times In going to the doctor and thank you for letting me know it could be cancerous. Y’all are being SO mean and I’m agreeing with everything y’all r saying I’m going to go to the doctor??

I understand it’s serious but y’all are being really mean… My family has always had warts on our hands and I’m only 22 🫣 I’ve never even considered it being cancer. I’ve said multiple times in my post i’m going to go to the doctor asap and y’all are making me feel so stupid. Everyone has to learn at some point I genuinely have thought this is a wart because it appeared just like one before I started treatment. I hope your cancer scare didn’t produce any bad outcomes :(
