So I have had a wart problem for a while. But in particular on my left index finger. On my mission I got this wart on my left index finger. It was close to the time that I was coming home so instead of having a 3rd world "doctor" take care of it I waited to get it removed in the states. And I did. After about 3 years the darn thing came back. So i went back to the dermatologist and had it removed again. Here are some before and after picts of what both these removals looked like. (The picts are only of the second wart. You can kinda see the scar from the first one to the left of this wart.)
No longer than 3 months or so after the second removal the stupid thing came back. Now what dermatologists did with me is freeze it off a few times and when that didn't work (it never did) they would cut it off and cauterize it (pic above). Well the third time I went back to the dermatologist and asked if they would just go straight to the cutting and cauterizing. They wouldn't so I asked to refer me to someone who would. So that got me to a hand surgeon, and I had that thing surgically removed. and here are those picts.Yes it was that big
It was my little six fingered hand that I always wanted.
This is how it was wrapped for one week after the surgery.
Once they took off the bandage.
After 2 weeks of having the bandage off. The night before the stitches came out.
My finger now, 3 weeks after. It is kinda tight on the knuckle when I make a fist but I like scars and its way better than that hideous wart. They cut the wart out then took the skin on top of my finger and stretched it over the hole. I have a U-shaped scar now.
So that is a fun update for Mr. Owens. Lindz is happy that the thing is gone too. I kept picking at it and making it bleed. She was done with that real quick.

Wow that is awesomely disgusting! Actually I had a wart that kept coming back despite being frozen off multiple times, I started swimming every day and magically it went away! Supposedly chlorine kills warts... day late and a dollar short for that advice though, huh? Sorry, glad it's gone though!
GROSS!! I'm glad you were able to have it taken off once and for all.
Gross! You can't show gross things to a pregnant woman!
Yeah, that's pretty disgusting Trent. But, for Linday's sake, I'm glad it's gone.
