Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Wart Did You Say?

I have a wart on my left pinky finger. It’s been there for a week or so and I kept forgetting to get something to take care of it. Yesterday I finally did.

I stopped at Target for some batteries and remembered to get the wart stuff too. Denis was with me, and we kept joking about my wart by saying things like: “I’ll wart for you over here,” and “Wart did you say? I didn’t hear you,” and “Just a minute, I need to go to the bathroom and wart my hands.” Ha! We were cracking ourselves up!

Anyway, I got some of the wart freezing stuff. It’s really easy to use, but I’m not sure it did anything. Right after I used it, there was a whitish-reddish splotch around the wart, but now it looks like it’s back to normal. I’ll wait a couple of days to see if anything happened.

Here’s an “after” picture. The wart is kind of hard to see in this picture, but I didn’t want to get grotesquely close. It’s just below the first bend in my pinky. The red spot toward the side of my pinky is a gardening wound.

I should have used a wart-angle lens.

    You may have to repeat it a few times. Warts are hard to get rid of. I have two very small growths (they don’t look like warts, so I can daintily call them growths) on two different fingers that even the dermatologist wouldn’t do anything about. He did, however, cut off another one. I’m glad it worked. That one was near a nail and quite ugly, definitely fully in the wart category.

    Wartever works, just get ’em gone!

      Deanne is wart. You have to repeat the freezing process often before it goes away. Have you not tried the duct tape method?

    Don’t be a worrywart – the best way to thwart your wart is to stalwartly …. that’s all I got. That’s too hard.

    Keep going on that wart! “Don’t stop until it’s an infected hole” – that’s my motto.

      Wart you glad I didn’t say banana?

      • Deborah

        Ha! I got that!

    Wart do you mean it’s only been there a week or so? That baby grew FAST! My warts don’t ever grow that fast…

    Maybe it’s pinky cancer.

      I guess you’re right. I’ve been wartching it for a while… Maybe what I meant to say was that I’ve been thinking of getting rid of it for a week or so.

      It’s naht a tumah.

    It’s always so interesting to see wart’s new with you! But I can’t see it. I see the wound & something on your ring finger (uh-oh, has it spread) … ????

    Therefore, I think this may wartant a trip to the doctor … to check on the growth or your eyes.

  6. Annette

  7. Karla

      P.S. Slightly disturbing photo in this article, although there is no carnage.

      • Beth

        SLIGHTLY disturbing??? That’s stomach churning! I’ll take carnage any day.

        • Lauren

          Gulp. Yeowzers. Um. Yeowzers. And I like weird stuff like that.

          • Deborah

            I’m not even looking after those comments.

    • Carol

      Now wait just a cotton-pickin’ minute: his condition was allegedly caused by the same virus our nation now wants to inoculate pubescent girls against for other more “traditional” reasons??? Hmmmmmmm. The promiscuity issue notwithstanding, I’m suddenly thinking those shots may not be such a hair-brained idea after all! I mean really – who’d want to risk looking like THIS poor soul???? [If I knew for sure what the jibblies were, I’d say this would give ’em to ya’.]
