    i had a wort on my ring finger on my left hand for 2 years and i just had it frozen off. if you are a teen they are very common, i know many of people that have them. they are different types of warts, but most of them are not harmful to your health. if you have one i would suggest going to a dermatologist and having them look at, they can then remove it for you. it might take a while because i have now had to have the same one burnt off twice and it is now just going away.

    I had a normal planters wart on the bottom of my foot. I was currently in the process of using liquid wart removal. Then one day, I woke up and found it hard to walk on. My planters wart was infected. Soon, it started to swell. A few days later, it was the size of a quarter and it was about 1/2 an inch swollen. My mom and I began treating it on our own, but that didn't work. It was painful. Every day, my mom would poke a hole in it with a needle, and she would squeeze it until puss would come out. My mom took me to the pediatrician and the doctor put a very large hole in it and squirted the puss out. He also did a culture on it. After he had done work on it, the swelling immediately started to decrease. Warts usually never do this, so don't be frightened.

    My health was still ok when it was still there, but a little fever started up. Now i'm as good as new. New skin developed around the infected area and the infection can't ever reoccur.

    Ok...so i have a wart on my hand. And i was concerned about it. So i checked it out. and it turns out that its not harmful to your health...but its not good for you either. It also depends on what warts your talking about..there plantar warts..there on the bottoms of your feet..and grow into your skin and hurt bad..those have to be removed by a doctor. Then theres gental warts..and well..yea..go to a doc..if you have those..and then theres the tipical ones that are on you hands and legs..and feet. there are currible..but some are really hard to get rid of. your best bet is to go to cvs or something and get that freeze off stuff , or go to the doc, and get a prescription. Well, i am using a home remedy rite now, which is to soak the wart in warm water with epzon salt for 15 minutes a day , and then cover it with a piece of duct tape..i dont know if it works yet..but there are many home remedies.if you dont wanna spend money on the high stuff!!

    Warts aren't harmful to your health (except plantars become painful because they grow into the sole of your foot and point upward). They are, however, easily contagious. But I've found something that's really effective at getting them off: Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away. I haven't used them on plantars, but repeated applications seem to have zapped a big wart I had on my hand.

    Doctors can freeze them or burn them off. I have had success getting rid of warts using Castor oil on them. Just rub the oil on them several times a day and they disappear over a fairly short time weeks. No pain no scars, no kidding. My son used the oil on a planar wart on his foot, and it went away. I do not know why it works but it does.

  • well i had warts all over my hands and had one on my face ! I went to the dermatologist, she put on this freezing spray. It burns, it turns them into a blood bubble and then it pops.

    Pretty nasty, but you gotta face the facts.
