Warts On Our Princess

Our little Princess got a persistent wart on her right hand pointer finger.  It got as large as a 1/4 inch in diameter, even having been frozen several times by Dr’s and by her parents, with liquid nitrogen.  To make matters even worse, a second and third one developed on both her thumbs, then a fourth on her right ring finger.  Another visit to the Dr., and this one recommended to keep the warts covered with Duct Tape for up to two months, as she said studies are showing that Duct Tape is more effective then freezing them.  Checking on the internet, I found that what she said was true.

Trouble is, our little Princess will not keep a bandage on for more then a few hours, how are we going to keep stiff Duct Tape on her fingers for two months!  Then I had an idea…Liquid Bandage!  The product is called “New Skin”, and it available in a little brown bottle from the drug store.  It has a finger nail polish like smell to it, and is also an antiseptic.  A great product to seal off stinging air from small cuts and cracks on one fingers.  Their website is newskinproducts.com.

After each mealtime, we coated each of the warts, about three times a day.  When it dries, it looks like a spot of amber varnish on your finger, much less noticeable then duct tape, and better tolerated by little Princesses too!  When it got thicker, like in 3 days of application, we would peel it off, and a thin layer of the top of the wart would go with.  Then we would reapply the New Skin, doing it three times a day, peel it off in a few days, repeat, repeat, repeat.

We kept this up for close to 2 months, and are very happy to report all four warts totally disappeared from our little Princess’s fingers!  It has been over a month now, and so far we see no regrowth in those areas.  New Skin had done the trick as well as the stories about Duct Tape doing the same job, but was less noticeable while on our Princess’s fingers.

We think that blocking the air from the warts, pealing off the top layer with the New Skin every 3 day or so, along with the antiseptic in New Skin, did the job for our little Princess.  She is a happy gal!
