Hello!
I have two questions.
1) I recently got two warts burned off the top of my hand. It left these two circles with a dark rim and a pinkish inside. My docotor gave me a bleaching product called Epiquin? I believe. Will these be scars for life? Anything else I can do?
2) Also, I got two more warts taken off my index finger but this time by using the agent that makes you blister. I believe it is called catharidim??? I got a little antsy and popped both blisters with a needle which I had burned with a lighter right before I used it (to sanitize). Now the blisters are gone but there is a raised pinkish sort of "harder" skin where the blisters where. Will these go away? I thought this treatment was not supposed to leave scars but will it scar because I used a needle and could have infected it? What to do???
THANKS SO MUCH! Im sick of having these ugly warts, then scars on my hands :-(
THANKS AGAIN

Generally it's recommended that you do not pop a blister since it can open the skin to infection. Keep the area clean and dry. It should heal without a scar within a few weeks. [ ncblondie's advice column | Ask ncblondie A Question ]
