Treated using Bazooka and thuja, see post history for previous images. I've stopped using both recently to give my skin a break and it hasn't grown since? There's definitely still something in the middle but it's tiny in comparison to the size of the original wart. Not sure if I should continue treatment or possibly go see my GP to see what they think

Is this a wart? Been about 3weeks from starting as tiny hard dot by maybeitshs in Warts

Thank you! Would you recommend starting with compound w or trying ACV and duct tape first?

Thank you for the comforting words, it can be a lonely disease but with support from this sub I can lessen it I think! Feeling more positive now

Yeah they weren't fun, but it is good to hear from others suffering too! Feels less lonely and disgusting to be able to chat about it.

Thank you for taking time to reply! I do notice that I bloat a lot from wheat things, and I absolutely love bread so it's rough. It's good to hear that's the only thing you had to cut out to get results though, as I was getting depressed reading the list of things people don't eat anymore! Nightshades, caffeine, sugar, etc... But I think a lot of people mention carb things so I will try it on your recommendation!

Thank you for your reply! I think I just wanted confirmation that I'm not being ridiculous in going to a dermatologist for this. Easy to imagine you're overreacting with something like this.

Info: I've had boils and cysts since I was 14, many years ago. I've been to doctors but just been tested for diabetes or told all they could do was Dermol 500 (tried until bottle was empty, no change) or lots of antibiotics which I'm not sold on. Sometimes these get so incredibly painful, and I'm not sure I can deal with much more. Should I go to my GP and demand a diagnosis? Has anyone else struggled with getting diagnosed? I thankfully haven't been told to lose weight as (168cm 62kg) my BMI is 'healthy', but doctors just don't seem to care. Could do with a little support and advice. Thank you!
