r/Warts

I applied cap for 18 hours straight with mass taping trying to macerate it this is the result:(

I had a finger wart that kept regenerating for years no matter how many times I cut it off or ground it down or used store freezy sticks to try to freeze it off.

I have experimented with 99.9% pure pharmaceutical grade DMSO topically, eyeball-ly, and orally.

By washing my hands thoroughly and soaking my finger wart in a few drops of DMSO on a clean inverted glass cup for a few minutes at a time a few times, my wart went away.

I believe the DMSO diffused through the cells in my finger and literally dissolved whatever strain of HPV virus particles was causing the wart.

DMSO, called the universal carrier, is the same solvent used in nicotine patches to convey the nicotine directly into a person's bloodstream, and it can also carry toxins/contaminants if present on the skin so thoroughly wash and rinse the area before and after with some non-residue soap (no fragrant residue crap).

Also try to avoid touching the area to any potential toxin/contaminant for approximately an hour after using this technique.

Nothing seemed to work, took zinc , applied SA. Was never truly consistent. I kept picking at it and then applying SA , it would grow back but I wouldn't stop messing with it

Could not debride more hurts alot

Looked like a common wart.

Week and a half doing ACV at night, and Compound W during the day.

Debriding before ACV application.

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.

For anyone wondering what Falknor's needling looks like feast your eyes on this. I just had it done today. I'm so glad it's over. Feel free to ask me anything.

Please only safe ways i cannot use a scapel 😭

I went to the podiatrist due to this and the pain from walking. He doesn’t seem to think it’s a wart, but just irritation. It seems wart like to me, any thoughts?

Helllll yeaaaahhhhh

Just had the procedure done today.

😅 I kinda just pulled everything off that I could?

(1-3 right foot, 4 left foot)

At what point do they suggest amputation? Ive tried cryo but it was sooo incredibly useless because they cant treat all of them at once and by the time they treat one bunch the other festers, and so on. I’ve tried SA drops. I have tried cornex gel. I am now on a specialized 20% SA mix (with vaseline) that grosses me out to my f**king max. Im so sorry. With the other stuff i could manageably wrap my foot with medical tape, but the vaseline makes it impossible it mostly slides off, you can imagine how gross this would be when paired with socks.

Youre looking at the warts when theyve had a week without the SA because I genuinely cant deal with how gross the feeling of vaseline feet is, paired with I’ve been doing it for over a month and its not doing shit. Yes, I debride. No. I will not debride as far/deep as other people do because I would have to do it to my whole foot, it just doesnt make sense. I have absolutely no hope for my feet. I have lost them to a virus, atp I fully consider it a cancer and do worry for my future. It also hurts, burns, tingles. The tingles are the worst, when I feel it throb it grosses me out. Help? If thats a thing anymore.

So this cluster of skin coloured spots appared overnight a few weeks ago. They don't hurt at all. What are they and what do i do?

On my foot. Showed up in a matter of hours.

These three bumps have been on my face (on the cheek) for atleast 6 years now. They’re slightly bumpy not protruding too much. Never known what they are the past year though the bump on the top has appeared to grow a wart protruding out (3rd pic). Before the three bumps i could cover w makeup n they looked like covered up pimples but now the protruding thing makes me feel disgusting. Please help me

I’ve had this thing on my toe for months being using corn pads. Tried ACV last night and had to take it off in the middle of the night as it hurt. Is that normal? Also how often should I do it? I did file a little today and It’s sore
