Pls don’t be rude but what do I do

First and foremost, please no one be rude below because I’m already crying every single day about how bad this is. It’s taking a lot of courage for me to post this. My cuticles I don’t even know how to get rid of these warts since it’s completely surrounded.

I’ve gone to the drs and had them freeze them, and it’s done nothing.

All of the really red bumps I’ve been putting liquid on and it’s been making a difference, but now my next challenge are the cuticles.

Please help in anything I can do, am I able to put Compound W all around them?! I’m scared to do that and I’ve been putting it off, but seriously I cannot live like this anymore.

Again, please don’t come in the comments attacking me, my self confidence has dropped expeditiously and I’ve even learned how to use my left hand to eat, write, and other things just so I don’t have to keep my right hand in view.

This has been the most depressing thing (which yes it could be a lot worse), but please if your hands don’t look like this, don’t take it for granted. I never knew I’d be in this position and it’s horrible.

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you

1 week progress with 40% SA Wartstick

My daughter has an upcoming foot surgery next month that is hinging on these warts being gone. We made great progress I think especially considering we have been on vacation this week so we haven’t been able to do the salt saturated soaks but there is still more debriding to do. She has a prescription for wartpeel that should be at the house by the time we get home this evening. Surgery is set for Aug 18th… how close do we look?

The side by side is 1 week apart and the second photo is about 2 weeks ago.

We are applying the wartstick 2x a day for the most part and debriding every other day as she tolerates it using tweezers to pull up the dead skin that is ready. I know a razor of some kind would probably be better but she won’t tolerate that unfortunately.

been dealing with sublingual warts on all fingers and toes, probably had em for a while but 6/7 months ago my fingers began to swell and i had restricted mobility. i’ve never seen anything like this , not even sure what im dealing with except that it’s so horrific that it’s nearly funny.

i believe these will resolve quickly since they seem shallow but obviously im not going to be shocked if otherwise. enjoy, pic of fingers from couple years ago for reference

Accidentally cured my plantar warts!

11 Upvotes

Back in February I had what I believe to be ‘geographic tongue.’ Very painful when I tried to eat anything. I googled around and maybe even searched Reddit for a remedy.

Somewhere, someone suggested taking B12. I bought a bottle and within 4-5 days of taking it, my tongue was almost 100% better! I went on vacation in March for a few days and forgot to take the B12. My tongue started hurting again. Started up the B12 when I got back home, and within a few days, my tongue was better again. I have continued taking B12 almost every day since February.

I had one plantar wart on the bottom of my foot I first noticed about 10 years ago. I had a dermatologist try to freeze it off and it didn’t do anything. I just lived with it for about 5 more years. I found Wart stick on Amazon and started applying it every night with duct tape on top for a while. It was doing good at getting the skin around the wart, but was taking a long time. I eventually stopped that because I got tired of doing it every night.

I then went to another dermatologist and he told me it was large and deep, and if he cut it out, it would be very painful for a while. He gave me some cream…I’ll be honest, I didn’t apply it like I was supposed to. Then I noticed I was getting more warts around the first one and some on/under my toes.

I started up the wart stick again this April…it seemed to be helping the smaller ones and the ones under/on my toes. Then I gave up again. I decided about a month and a half ago to check and see how many more I had gotten. To my complete surprise, ALL of them are almost completely gone! 2 were large and on the ball of my foot. They were painful when I walked sometimes.

I somehow stumbled upon something that said people that get plantar warts usually lack B12…Bingo! It seriously has almost completely gotten rid of them in 5 months of regularly taking B12. 🤯

Just wanted to post my accidental discovery of a way to get rid of them. If someone else tried it and it works, please report back! I just hope it helps someone. Warts are seriously so annoying!

Sons Verucca just won't go away

Used the freezing stuff over the counter for 6 sessions

Didn't seem to do anything

Changed to bazzuca gel and using the file on it for 2 weeks now, finally seem to be exposing the wart but no idea how deep it goes

It is painful if we touch it, when he's got shoes on he walks ok but once in socks he is walking with his heel up

Anything else we can do or just keep going with the gel and scrapping it away?

I've been dealing with 2 plantar warts for the better part of 20 years. I have treated them at home with the usual OTC products, I've had them lasered 3 times and most recently my podiatrist gave me an at home compound to blister them, which has been the most effective. I don't want to celebrate too soon, but what do you guys think?

Beetle Juice on son

Post image
9 Upvotes

My 7 yr old son had the beetle juice treatment almost a month ago. The doctor said I should wash his foot the next day but I didn’t realize he meant the application would continue to burn his skin until I rinsed it off.

Since his appointment was first thing in the morning and I didn’t wash it off until the next afternoon, it was on for over 24 hours.

I’m wondering if, because of this, it burned the skin and is taking longer to heal. The blister didn’t come off until 2 days ago and now it looks like this. I was supposed to have had the second treatment already but I delayed it until tomorrow. Is it safe to put another application on skin that’s this red? Also did I do any damage to his foot?

Tried to take a picture every time i debrided and treated what i'm told is likely a wart on my hand. Fascinated as it looks different every time. Pics marked with SA already have treatment applied, others are exposed.

Im not looking for recommendations on treatments, im following instructions on pharmacist recommended medication.

My finger is so raised after the SA bandages. I can’t tell if it’s good skin or if it’s part of the wart. any thoughts?

Does anyone know if my cuticles will grow back too??! I’m scared my finger nails won’t have anything to attach to

Multiple warts between my big toe and second toe. I have been using SA 30% + Duct tape every day. Soaking and debriding with a razor blade once every couple of days. I can still see the seeds - but not sure if I need to go see a podiatrist at this point as they have been spreading from initial treatment.

I treated this wart with garlic for 2 days. I just put garlic and band aid around it and it turned black. It hurts so much when I was doing the treatment but now the pain is gone, also the lump noticeably shrunk. Is this wart dying or is it just going to comeback after a while?

Need opinion on potential warts

Hey everyone,

So I have been dealing with plantars warts for YEARS. Freezings in office, WartPeel, WartStick + Hydrocolloid, saline soaks, ACV, Zinc Sulfate, Cimetidine, and have even done candida and bleomycin injections and burnings. Still there, but making progress.

Recently, due to treating them and being an anxious picker, they have made their way on my hands. This is from today, my cuticle has been throbbing with pain as I noticed this. Tried to debried and bit and cover with neosporin for two days but it still appears like this. Need some advice on if you guys believe this to be a wart, and what I should do about this one, as I never had one this close to my nail and it is making me very nervous. I have another similar one and am debating if I should put liquid SA on it overnight.

Any input will be greatly valued as I have been struggling so hard to rid my body of these.

Thank you.

Need expert advice – is my wart finally gone?

These photos show the progress of my wart treatment from before to where it is now. I’d really appreciate some feedback from anyone with experience treating warts.

Does it look like the wart has been completely removed or is there still wart tissue remaining?
If you think there’s still some left what makes you say that?

Photo 1: Before treatment
Photos 2–3: Current appearance

I’ve documented my entire treatment journey with additional photos on my profile if anyone wants to see how it’s progressed.

I’ve had this wart for nearly 5 months now and haven’t really touched it much, I’ve debrided it a couple of times and finally today I tried again, it seems like there is still something there, any tips would be much appreciated.

I got plantar wart from vacation at May 2025 then i tried to cure it at home with salicylic acid for 3 months and it didn't go away. So i started to go to doctor every month. They froze it 12 times. At November there were blister and crust fell off. But it still didnt go away however as doctors say it got smaller. I started to use black cream ACV some plant milk and zinc supplements i tried everything and finally at June some white liquid came. After that doctor froze it 2 more times. As i remember last time they froze it at 8 June. Since then 1 month 14 days past and yesterday i went to doctor for check. She told me there is no wart!!! YEYYY but i still feel suspicion because two times crust fell off pink skin come but after wart came back and that's what I'm afraid of. But i hope if won't came back

What i used in my journey:

- Salicylic acid

-cold nitrogen(doctor froze it)

- fig milk

- Apple cider vinegar

- Black Cream

- Zinc supplements

I hope it helps

The Dr told me it ‘appears to be a wart’ and to do the usual filing and salicylic acid but it does nothing. It’s been there a few years on the side of my big toe

Yesterday I asked if I can skip an acid, which I did, and I applied zinc cream (thank you for advice!).
How is it looking today? Can I freeze it and use acid after? I really want to kill that bastard.
Also, I forgot I still got a glove on after pulling the cord and I just touched the skin above my lip 😭 how can I disinfect it? I don’t have rubbing alcohol. I only got surgical cleaning soap (Hibiwash) and hydrogen peroxide (3%).
I can’t believe I just did that!!!
