Worred About Warts: Try Dr. Scholls!

About a year ago, a wart decided to make its home at the bottom of my foot. It was flat and round. Several weeks later, it invited it's wart friend over to my foot and they had a party. Party of two. On my foot.

I get a pedicure once every three of four weeks. The friendly ladies wearing the white gloves have always commented on the warts, scraped the warts with a metal spatula-like thing, buffed the warts using what looked like a mini cheese-grater, and even used scissors and sharp-edged metal tools to cut the warts. They were still there, bigger than ever, and drinking pina coladas on my foot.

I bought a product to freeze them out. Apparently, they like to drink frozen drinks on the bottom of my foot but they don't want to reside in it. Unfortunately, I disliked the feeling on my foot and saw no results. These suckers were resilient.

Had I not been terrified, I would go to the wart doctor and *poof* they'd be gone. Unfortunately, I don't like to see a doctor for anything. Unless I am dying. Or excessively itching in a profuse manner. That's a post for a different day. Regardless of which, these warts weren't fatal so I wasn't worrying (and thus being a worry wart...ah-ha-ha) about them.

A few days ago, I decided to give Dr. Scholl's Clear Away Wart Remover a try. They are a medicated pad filled salicylic acid. Small circular stickers with a pad to stick over it to keep it in place. So far, so good...I think. The wart and area around it are puffy like a puffer fish. It has turned white and carries a slight resemblance to cauliflower. On my foot. Yummy.

The medicated pads themselves kind of make my foot smell like old french fries. Yummy? In these times, it's just a good thing I don't have a foot fetish. I'm not sure if anyone sane would enjoy licking puffy cauliflowered french fries.
