wart. Wart!!
Bleh. So the dr’s verdict is, it’s a wart. Pooey.
Oh yeah, I hadn’t brought it up here before, had I? Heh.
Anyway, small growth on my left index finger. Figured it was a wart, but dr confirmed.
Then proceeded to freeze it with liquid nitrogen. Then put some sort of “blistering agent” on it, then a band-aid. Said to take band-aid off in about 4 hrs, and come back in 4 weeks for another treatment. Whee!
Josh said I should just try an over-the-counter treatment rather than pay another $25 to go back to the dr in 4 weeks. I may try it out, but if it doesn’t work, I’ll go back to the dermatologist for another freeze.
Since I figured that is what it was, I’ve been careful not to touch ppl or things with the part of the finger that has the wart, since they are contagious. So if you ever see me doing stuff sans my left index finger (i.e. holding it away from the rest of my hand, much like one would do with the pinky finger while drinking tea), that is why. :-(
But anyway.. now my finger hurts after the freezing & blister stuff. Since the band-aid is still on I don’t even know what it looks like now. Before they put the band-aid on I caught a glimpse of it and it was white (from being frozen), but it’s prolly all red & angry now.
So, anyone have any suggestions for an over-the-counter treatment that works? I haven’t tried any yet but I’ve heard some are a waste of money…
