Apparently increased stress, among other factors, can cause a person to be more susceptible to catching the wart virus. That's what I blame it on ... the extreme stress we were under last year. Just add broken skin (the constantly dry and bleeding knuckles I had in Utah) and the wart virus and voila ...
I got them frozen once while we were in Utah, but it wasn't enough. I was hoping to get them lasered off at Tom's office right before we left Utah, but that didn't happen. This cluster on my left hand was so big, and I had five others, so finally I decided to take action. I bought a variety of products and have been working on them for a bit. I think it's going to be a long process. I have gotten rid of one ... just five more to go.
A few weeks ago I noticed something on Payden's toe. When I went to look, she flinched in pain. After researching online, I decided she had a plantar wart on her pinkie toe and had her join me in treating her wart. The crazy thing is that all you could see of her wart was a little dot, but her toe did look a little odd shape.
After two days with a medicated patch on, it looked like this ...
After about a week, the skin around the wart came off, exposing most of the wart ... these pictures are pretty gross ...
I feel bad for her, but fortunately she doesn't put pressure on that spot when she walks. I wish I could just pluck it out of her, like a weed. Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to be patient and let the medicated patches SLOWLY do their job.
