How’s she looking?
Background: I’ve had this wart for about 15 years ☠️
To be fair, it looked like a small callus for many of those years and never grew/hurt. I was on immunosuppressants for a year and it got massive so once I was healthy, I knew I had to attack it.
Things I tried and failed: cryotherapy at doc office, almost every kind of drug store salicylic acid solution, apple cider vinegar, 3 podiatrist appts (which I think they did cantharidin), 9 laser treatments at a wart clinic and Diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP).
Things that are working: everything but the kitchen sink method. I started with a Glutaraldehyde + lactic acid paste the wart clinic prescribed me. Then added daily iodine 10% soaks (hot water for 20 mins). I kept the wart covered constantly. I couldn’t use the paste every day as it was super painful. Lots of debriding during this period. Did this for about two months then switched to Actikerall twice daily and iodine soaks. You don’t need to cover the wart with Actikerall. Pic 2 is one month of Actikerall and maybe 2 weeks of iodine soaks which I have since stopped. I’ve also got 2/3 of the gardisil vaccine and daily zinc 50mg supplement.
I think I have a tiny bit of wart tissue at the bottom edge but I am cautiously optimistic that I’m winning this battle.
