JAGeorgia likes to tell that story. Those warts have never come back! |
In college I had a wart on the back of my hand, and my doctor prescribed the chemical/acid. Upon application, it would form a white film, turn into a scab, and the scab would eventually fall off. But the wart would reappear.
One night my girlfriend and I were sitting around watching a movie. I had just applied the medicine, and it had started to form the white film. Apparently my girlfriend decided to examine my hand, but I was too engrossed in the movie to notice. Next thing I knew, I felt a flash of pain, a funny sound came out of my mouth, and I looked down to see blood quickly welling up where the wart had been. She had ripped off the wart with her fingernails, and sat there looking at me with a triumphant grin.
The wart never came back, and I don't even have a scar on my hand!
