gym and warts

I had a wart on my finger for years. nothing could get rid of it. So one day I bit it off. It bled like hell but never came back.

I'm fairly sure you do matey, this was the sort of thing my dad would fill up in the afternoon in the hospital and by the next morning it had all seaped out.

I'm certain he refered to it as liquid nitrogen, i'll take his word over yours methinks.

if it seaped out then it couldn't have been pressurised now could it? ;)

you don't get liquid nitrogen in pressurised canisters, so i doubt it.

It certainly is Liquid Nitrogen. I can remember the nurse removing it from the freezer and pouring it from it's original container into a canister with a trigger on it, which she then used to spray it onto the wart. It was a liquid with a kind of dry ice heavy cloud which floated down off it.
 
I managed to see a doc today he said he thinks its not a wart and gave me some "fucidin h" some sort of infection /steroid cream .

I think he is wrong and it is a wart but I've filed it down so it dose not look like one ,I had a dig inside and it was like a white worm shape which I think would be the roots .

The doc told me to let it grow and see him again in a a few weeks .

Fucidin is used to treat ringworm, which as the name suggests, presents itself in a ring shape. Is it itchy at all?

Yep me too - I picked up pitted keratolitis from the gym. I was dousing my feet in athletes foot spray for weeks and it wasn't fixing it. One trip to the Docs, some cream and it was gone in 3 days.

Think you'll find it's very pressurised by nature!

Liquid nitrogen boils constantly at room temperature (its boiling point is around -190C), forming back into a gas as it does - and so you can imagine inside a can that the rapidly-collecting gas reaches higher and higher pressures as the liquid boils off...!

The "jet" is then the gaseous but still very cool "steam" from the boiling nitrogen.

no its not ringworm ! It has started to itch now ,but only because you mentioned it :D

I shower when I get home now as I also caught athletes foot at the gym in the past :(
 
i had mine burnt off at the docs a few years ago as they were realy quite bad, and no amount of wart stuff would touch them, it bloody hurts lol but it was worth it, they spread like mad if you split one and get the blood on other fingers.
 
My fingers were covered as a kid. I accidently pulled one off including the root and the whole lot disappeared within a week or 2. Annoyingly, id been trying to cut/pick/eat/kill it for months and months.
 
I have three warts, one on the knuckle of my thumb, one on the face of my other thumb (very small) and one to the side of my nose (like a Witch)

I have Glutarol (I hate this stuff, it strains your skin brown) which worked when I was young, I am trying it now but the one on my face I can't use as it burns my eye. If by the end of this I still have it I'll freeze it off, get some Wartner. I use to cut the one on my face off as it was 'too visable' with a pair of nail clippers (fun old days)

Beats any of them cold stuff :D

In all seriousness though, my little brother unfortunately got one and it took nearly 6 months to get rid of it - even now, there looks to be a tiny speck under the skin but not swell up yet. Poor bugger having to visit the GP multiple times for cryo-treatment. Just be persistent on them or they'll be persistent on you.
 
I used to have a cluster on one of my hand (not my enjoyment hand luckily), but nothing would shift them, went to the doctors and he told me just wait and they go away by themselves and attacking them would just make more of them, odd I thought but I managed to get rid of them with bazuka gel in the end I think, but only after months of treatment.

sorry but thats not true - liquid nitrogen is always stored in non-pressurised vessels - they have very weak valves that open at the slightest build up of pressure to let off any excess gas. Its the same on tankers carrying liq nitrogen and in dewers - even nmr machines are not sealed as any pressure build up would cause an explosion.
 
I have had a wart on my hand as well as a verucca that wouldnt shift no matter what I used on it. I tried bazooka, wartner and the freeze Scholl stuff and a few others without any joy.

I ended up using duct tape over the verucca for a month and it has now completely gone. :)

Google it - the yanks swear by it.
