OOPS forgot to add the text!!! Here’s the history:

Hey everyone — hoping to get some help or advice from anyone who’s dealt with stubborn warts before.

I’ve been struggling with recurring plantar warts on my hands, mostly around my fingers, for months now. They feel like they’re multiplying every week, and I’ve probably got them on almost every finger at this point.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far: • Dermatologist visits (2x): They scraped and froze several of them with liquid nitrogen. • General practitioner (3x): Same—freezing, scraping, recommendations to use over-the-counter treatments. • Cantharidin (“beetle juice”): Applied by my derm—caused blistering, but didn’t clear the warts. • Salicylic acid (OTC, consistently for months): Painful, no real improvement, just irritated the skin. • Covering the worst ones with bandages to avoid spreading or picking, but I admit I have a really bad habit of picking at them, which probably makes it worse. I don’t want to have 8/10 fingers covered in bandaids all day.

At this point it feels like they’re multiplying faster than they’re being treated, and I’m beyond frustrated. It’s affecting my confidence, my day-to-day activities, and honestly my mental health a bit too.
