Warts

**Guest1234** · 20-03-2010 13:10

I think I am getting two warts on my fingers, I have two small lumps with a sort of flat head forming, I'm guessing warts because thats what they look like up close.
I have had them before as a child, and mum used some of that stuff you can buy from the chemist that makes them fall off, but I'm thinking that I will get these burnt off rather, so much easier. Do I have to wait til they have fully formed? Or is there maybe a way I can stop them now?

I was advised by my GP not to use the freezing thing's from the chemist untill after pregnancy.

I have some on my feet but my GP tried to freeze them a couple of months back and they are well to deep she is going to have to scrape them Right down and freeze many more times, but wont be doing it untill DS has been born.

The stuff mum used wasn't the stuff that freezes it, and I would go to the doctors to get them frozen off any way. I just don't know when?

**dreamtobeamummy** · 20-03-2010 13:40

I would go now. Better off to do it before they form quite deep like mine and now they have to be cut out and frozen many times over

the stuff i used growing up was called wart paint..it turned yellow once hitting the skin & the wart would fall off

i dont see any harm in that because you arent actually burning or freezing anything off.

However the dr will be able to tell you what he thinks is the best way to get rid of your warts

I think there is a warning on the paint stuff too about not using while pregnant - I'd go sooner rather than later to the Drs and get them burnt off!

Ok thanks, so I'm guessing they dont have to be fully formed to get them burnt off then? Might mention it at my next doctors appointment then

Take fish oil, it helps boost the immune system, and help clear your warts

**Guest1234** · 20-03-2010 21:39

JabberJaw got any recommendations of fish oil that doesnt reflux or smell or taste yuk?
I should probably be doing something to boost my immune system, when I was pregnant with DD my body was swarmed with Tinea Versicolor when my immune system was low, and now this time around I'm getting warts and psorisis!!
