How do you get rid of a wart that has not gone away after three treatments of liquid nitrogen?
I can't remember if this is for a wart or a veruca but banana skin taped to your foot or wherever it is works when u r going to bed. put a fresh ne on every night!also bazuca is great!Apple cider vinegar or distilled vinegar. Soak a cotton ball with vinegar and place over wart. Cover the entire cotton ball with a band aid and medical tape so that no air comes in contact with the area. I read that it could take up to a week, but my daughter went to bed with this remedy. When she woke up and took off the bandage, the wart had fallen off. It was a little red and sensitive for a couple of days but absolutely no scarring. The wart has not come back and it's been about 4 months.Truly amazing! I honestly didn't believe it would work and really had planned on taking her to the doctor to have it "professionally" removed.Compound W! You can buy it at most drug stores, it will take a couple of weeks, you're doctor will tell you "that stuff never works." It works. They wouldn't sell it if it didn't. Or, you could use duct tape.With the duct tape, you have to apply the duct tape over the ENTIRE wart. Once a week, take the tape off and rub the wart with a pumice stone, to remove the dead skin. After 6-8 weeks, the wart should be gone. Personally, I would go for the compound W. It's much less visible, and it doesn't take quite as long.It depends where the wart is. I would assume it is in area of thicker skin such as the hand or foot. There are many wart treatments and all work some of the time but none work every time. In addition, they can recur. Probably, the easiest treatment involves a homeopathic remedy,Thuja 30X or 30C. You place 3 to 9 pills daily under your tongue daily and let dissolve. DO NOT SWALLOW (won't work). 80% of the time the wart falls off in 3 to 4 weeks. A bottle of 100 pills, available at many health food stores, should be less than $10.00.(Yes,I'm a doctor that has used this treatment succesfully many times).AwnserIt depends who used the liquid nitrogen if you had bought it urself then maybe u need to find cheaper products is used boots own brand of verucca and wart gel and found this more effective than the liquid nitogen i bought in boots. I had the same problem. I had about 6 warts on my hands, used the liquid nitrogen and there was no improvment. I then got a job in a old book store, where I was dealing with older moldy books, within a month all my warts disapperard. I don't know how this worked, but my doctor said there is something in the dust/mould that got rid of them. So I don't know get reading?!
What are those white bumps on your heels that you only see when you stand?
A 25-year-old white female was referred to the dermatology clinic by her primary care provider for evaluation of bumps on her heels. The patient reported that the bumps had been on her heels, unchanged and asymptomatic, for "as long as I can remember." The bumps were visible when she stood up and put weight on her heels but immediately disappeared when she sat down. They had not been clinically evaluated before our examination and no treatments had been attempted.The patient was otherwise in good health. She had no other skin complaints. She did not take any medications regularly and denied alcohol or tobacco use.Physical examination revealed 10 to 15 smooth papules and nodules ranging in size from 2 to 7 mm (see Figure1). The lesions were evenly distributed on the medial aspects of both of the patient's heels and visible only with weight bearing. The flesh-colored, palpable lesions were soft and compressible but nonmobile. There was no associated erythema, edema, or scale. The examination of the patient's remaining skin was unremarkable except for the presense of mild nummular eczema and seborrheic dermatitis seen on her trunk and scalp.WHAT IS YOUR DIAGNOSIS?• Cysts• Verruca vulgaris• Piezogenic pedal papules• LipomasDISCUSSIONThis patient has piezogenic pedal papules. A common condition, piezogenic pedal papules are caused by fat herniations through defects in the dermis. The diagnosis is not likely to be cysts because of the location of the papules. The heel is a highly unlikely location for cysts to appear. Furthermore, cysts would be firmer and would not be elicited by weight bearing.Verruca vulgaris, or warts, is not a likely diagnosis because the smooth lesions observed here lack the rough surface seen with warts. Verucca vulgaris also would not be induced by weight bearing.Although lipoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis, it is not the correct diagnosis for this patient. Lipomas are discrete, rubbery papules or nodules that would not be generated by weight bearing. They are not likely to occur in multiples and very rarely appear on the feet.TREATMENT Piezogenic pedal papules can occur on the medial or lateral heel. The lesions are generally asymptomatic, and most patients do not require treatment. However, some patients will experience pain, especially when standing for extended periods of time. Obese people or those who suffer repeated trauma to the heels also may experience pain. Weight loss and avoidance of standing for prolonged periods of time may relieve the pain in some patients. Other possible treatment options include plastic heel cups or surgical excision.Piezogenic pedal papules are often misdiagnosed because they are common and can have a possible symptomatic course. Clinicians must be able to accurately diagnose these papules to determine potential treatment options. JAAPA
