Q: I have a wart on the back of my hand. I heard somewhere that it could go away by itself. Is this true? If it isn't what are some things I might try to get rid of it?
No, they don't, unless they are a strange type that I've never heard of. I had warts all over my fingers, I thought that at least the smallest would disappear, but it didn't.
There are 5 ways to get rid of a wart.
1. You can use a topical treatment. CVS or other drug stores have a bottle of what is known as a wart remover. You just dip the brush in the bottle and brush it all over the wart. Works about 50% of the time, but other warts may appear in the future.
2. You can go to a doctor and have it frozen off and scraped for further prevention. This works about 60% of the time, and other warts may appear in the future.
3. You can go to a doctor and have it lasered off. Works 85% of the time, future warts may appear.
4. You can take a pill called "Tagement" in high doses. Can only be prescribed by a doctor. It was some pill for Ulcers which was soon to be discovered had odd ways of changing your immune system such as it detects smaller viruses, like the wart virus. 85% success rate, future warts will not appear if successful, may cause mild liver damage which will disappear once you stop taking the pill.
5. You can have a combo of 3 things injected into the wart, one of which is yeast. The body fights it off, and sees that there is a wart virus there, and in turn, fights that off. 90% success rate, no future warts will develop. It's just very new.
I'd advise trying the topical solution and then either #4 or #5.

THE PENGUIN RULES ALL! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! *Cough*
Hello! My name is Steven, and I am a mentor. Yes, that does mean that I help other people. I have helped over 1000 people to date, and have helped some individuals for over 1/2 a year. The miracle of my life occurred 17 years ago. I say miracle only because 1/4 babies survive to be born.
I am the first born of 2 children, and I am also the black sheep. I listen to Classical Music, so you can call me a weirdo. :P. I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, so take no offense if my answers never seem to end.
In school, I get As and Bs. More Bs really. I play trombone, and was the section leader of the trombones at my school. This year, I am the captain of the entire brass section. I am an Eagle Scout, so I guess that says I'm persistant? You make the call. I am a 3 time varsity letter winner, looking for a 4th next winter. I also participate in the musical, where I am a Bass 2. :)
I am straight, and have never had a relationship beyond a friend. However, I have survived the bumps in the road, and can advise you if you wish it. Though, it's not my strength.
I'm here for you, and only you. That means that my advise will not always confort you. Heck, it may even scare you. Yet, I want you to do what is best for your mind. Not what is typically seen as best for you, but what YOU see best for YOU. Heck, if you wanted what was seen as best for you, you would've asked your parents what you should do. They give you what's typically best.
Alright, before I start getting tendinitis from writing that over and over again, I'll just say what I mean. I mean that if you ask me about something, let's say walking 10 miles a day, and I think it's rediculous, yet you are asking for something to do, I am NOT going to say "10 miles is the type of a thing a anorexia athletica would do. Try 5." I'll give you something to do.
Oh, and I'm a L1 moderator, which means I rate questions.

Don't hesitate to IM me, I'm usually on. If I'm not, just drop one in the Inbox!

Oh, by the way, I am liberal in everything. That means that abortion is a woman's RIGHT, and gay marriage should be LEGAL.

Ask away!
-Steven
