Super Cold Spray - for wart removal?

S

Spehro Pefhany

I like women doctors. I had a cyst on the back of my head that had
gone big-time infected.

Our family doctor was afraid to touch it.

Went to a dermatologist last Wednesday.

She took one look and told the nurse assisting her to put on her
goggles.

Then she whipped out a scalpel and ZIP... blood and yellow gunk
everywhere ;-)

Then a bunch of painful squeezing and scraping... no anesthesia :-(

But it's fixed.

Of course I'm on Augmentin for 2 weeks.

My theory is that women's brains are wired to better handle dealing
with gross gooey stuff.

I had two done this way, when I was a kid. One was on the back of my
hand, and it just dried up and fell off. The other was on a knuckle,
and it turned into a big callus that I've now had for 30 years. I'd
have been much better off just waiting for it to go away, which they
eventually do.

Cheers,

Or some of that brown liquid they use on genital warts....

Good Luck!

It didn't change, it had been the same since as far back as I could
remember. I merely got tired of it.


I'd much rather die of something than visit a doctor. I'm allergic to
all members of the medical professions, having grown up with two
dentists for parents. The last time I went to a doctor was at gunpoint
(INS medical) and the next time will be something similar.

You've apparently never had pancreatitis. Yes, I would have rathered have
been dead than to be in such debilitating pain, but doctors can prescribe
morphine. >:->

And they can install a pancreatic bypass - I don't get pancreatitis any
more. :)

We're responsible for our own well-being, but that's not a rule against
using whatever tools are available. :)

But, I tell you what - next time I go to the dentist, I'm gonna demand
that they use whatever drug it was that the endoscopy shop used on me -
knocked me out completely, and it was like "<click> Are we done?"
And, of course, they were. :)

Good Luck!
Rich

Gosh, I hope they didn't suck out *too* much of the important stuff.

Then why do I have to unclog the toilets and take out the garbage?

Yeah! That should be based on who clogged the toilet and who made the
garbage! Equality, I say! ;-D

But still, flip the seat down, just so she thinks you're paying
atteniton. ;-P

I don't think that's true anyway.

Any time one of our kids was sick, or had the diaper blow-out, my wife
would start gagging.

Rather than have to clean up after her as well I just did the task
myself.

I've never been squeamish about such things.

I did almost exactly this to remove a mole on my abdomen. I shaved the
surrounding area, stuck down gauze with bandage adhesive tape, froze
the area of interest then cut it off with sharp, flamed scissors.
Freaked my wife out. I needed to wear a "spot" type Band-Aid for a few
weeks. A few years later, the spot is still mole-colored, of course,
since the mole wasn't totally excised, but the protruding portion is
gone and hasn't grown back.

That can be quite dangerous.
If the mole is cancerous doing that kind of cutting could spread it through the
body.

My funniest experience was with #2 daughter, 1 year old at the time,
now 41...

I heard strange giggling from her bedroom... walked in to find her
emptying her diaper by grabbing a handful, then slinging it onto the
wall :-(

Surely these are not the stories you should broadcasting on the

Bullshit! The lid should be down. Both have an interest.

It is, sorta.
Any time one of our kids was sick, or had the diaper blow-out, my wife
would start gagging.

I had no problems with the diapers. When the kid started projectile
vomiting of pink stuff at 3:00AM it got pretty bad. Turns out he was
allergic to something in Spagetti-Os. The last time it happened they
slipped it into his dinner at a scouts camp-out when he was a HS senior.
He wasn't a happy camper (nor were they)! "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!" He
would have rather starved.
Rather than have to clean up after her as well I just did the task
myself.

I did my share. I really didn't mind all that much. Diapers were easy.
Vomit...
I've never been squeamish about such things.

I can't stand other's blood. I can look at my own all day (wow, look at
the muscle down there - just like Brittanica). When the neighbor dog
ripped my son's leg open I was calm as a clam until we were in the
emergency room and the doctor started with the "novacane". He suggested
that my wife should take me outta the room. I was whiter than the brat.

It WAS funny! Then I had to clean it up :-(

That touches on survival... how all four of our kids survived to
become adults... when my wife was mad at them for some prank I was
laughing, and vice versa ;-)

If you ever have a serious strep throat, or a life-threatening uninary
infection, you might reconsider. It's incredible what a penicillin
shot in the butt, or a jug of Cipro, can do in a few hours. And a
compound fracture isn't the sort of thing you want to treat at home.

If you're going to off yourself for what seem like good reasons at the
time, at least research it enough not to leave yourself alive but with
horrible liver damage, brain damage, blindness etc.
