    Warts

    I am pretty sure Charlie has a wart on his elbow. Where would he have gotten it from and how can i get rid of it? Is it a one off thing or something that will reoccure?

    Im not sure how you get them, but I had one or two as a kid.
    You can get a wart paint at the chemist, but we used to put banana skin on ours and cover with a bandaid, or put milk thistle on it.

    hi sweet,
    first of all don't panic you can see a dr and get it dry iced off, or do it at home from stuff u buy from pharmacy, personally i don't like that and have tried it myself with me but HATED IT! there is other product tooo, one product i used burnt a hole right through my skin not the dry ice.

    what u can do and i have done is gotten clear nail polish and kept re-applying it over it to suffocate it as it breathes ya see. IT WORKS!!!!! takes a while like 2 weeks abouts or more depending on size but it works even hubbie has done it and my dd hubbie had small wart like lumps on hand and they all gone now.

    My DS (3.5yrs) has a couple on his fingers...so annoying. I am paranoid he is going to infect his newborn sister It was recomended to me that we just use the acid wart paint. It works, but just takes a long time. Doc thought DS was just a bit too young for icing them off, might put him off doctors for life!

    My DD has lots of tiny warts. It's apparently common but will last for a year or two. Would nailpolish work on this kind of warts??

    yeah think so but keep in mind nail polish is a toxic thing so maybe wait till she is older and if u choose to use it test a bit for reaction. we use clear that way ppl dont know. its good as it suffocates the wart and pretty cheap and no ones knows. but if young child u do have to be sure they arnt gonna suck on it. Thats why its best to wait till older. Do use common sence with this but i do know it has worked for us for me and dd and my husband also.

    i used to have one on my wrist and as a student in school it would always get bumped on desks when passing so i did this and it worked great!
