Alright, sorry to gross everyone out again, but there is some progress on the plantar wart front and I wanted to check in.
So I've switched to duct tape, having exhausted my Dr. Scholl's supply of acidic pads. I didn't notice much difference for a while, until tonight. I started picking around the wart and noticed a ring around the edge... started pulling, and loosened up the whole thing for a good way into the skin. Weird as hell. So I started pulling harder to see if I could get the "yanking the plug out" effect... no deal, just lots of blood and pain. I numbed the thing with ice and went at it again... still attached at the bottom and not budging from there. Ouch.
So how do I get it to let go at the bottom? Do you just grit your teeth and tear the thing out, like a loose tooth, or do you keep applying the duct tape and it eventually dies at the bottom and falls out? I really want this little bitch out of my skin!
