She cut it out and now has a crater in her foot

[S4B]

Yeah but it's gone hasn't it!

[Yudster]

The abcess which will probably fill the crater in will be an excellent replacement.

[Johnny Karate]

just wear one of those rubber socks with the flour in

[foot-loose]

Good grief! You lot are like a bunch of old housewives!

how do I freeze / burn it off? I quite like the pain when it bleeds. That sounds very dodgy i realise but its like picking a scab.

Gasman - go to the docs, they have a cool thing with nitrogen in it that they freeze the thing with, then it just falls off - job done.

I had one dealt with a while back - the doc said "now this won't hurt, look" and shot the nitrogen gun thing across his thumb. This should have satisfied me that there was no pain involved, untill I noticed how scarred his thumb was...

If its a big one then go to the doctors. They should have a minor surgery unit and they do it there. Knowledge from 5 summers working for my uncle in his surgery.

What disturbs me is the fact this thread has turned from food to Gaspode's verruca!

[foot-loose]

See - us weegies know best!

I'm not sure there's a line between the two where Gaspode's concerned.

[Yudster]

Also thanks Yudster, the sound of an abscess makes me feel so much better.

If I'd said it before you decided to operate on yourself, would you have changed your mind? Because if I'd known thats what you were going to do, I'd definitely have mentioned the possibility of abcess, sepsis, septicaemia, tissue loss, possible amputation - versus a quick visit to the doctor and a quick removal in an aseptic environment, with advice on after care. You daft girlie you.

[Nicola_Red]

I had a verucca once. had it burned off at the docs. i seem to remember it hurt like hell, but then I was only about nine.

[DemonHorse]

I have blisters on me feet somehow at the moment.
Quite theraputic trying to pop them.

[S4B]

Oooh Demon just slide a needle into them! Have a tissue handy though!

[DemonHorse]

yeah thats what I did when I finally found the needle.. the main problem was not being fully able to see where they were.

[S4B]

Why not? Do you not bend that way?

[foot-loose]

you could upload a photo - we could give you directions.

"Take a left at the smaller mole then straight on till you hit a bunion"

that sorta thing.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I'm not registered with any doctor. I don't get ill.

I do want to use one of them mad freezing things though.

[MK Chris]

I am registered at a doctor, but it's the same doctors I used when I lived at my mum's about four or five years ago, which is 10 miles away. I don't get ill either.

[DemonHorse]

Why not? Do you not bend that way?

they're in awkward positions on my left foot.

[S4B]

I'm lucky I'm bendy!

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I'm pretty bendy. Them rolls of fat create lots of bends eh?

[S4B]

Not what I meant!

[Betti911]

I don't get ill.

Most men I know just don't seek advice when they get ill .... they just moan lots.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I dont moan about being ill either.

I moan about lots of other things instead.

[Betti911]

I can't believe that you haven't be plagued with 'man flu'.

Try 'bazuka' that VERRUCA for your recent aliment
