Question 1

how to remove warts, calluses, & blisters on feet?

Accepted Answer

Quite broad question: All the conditions you are asking about can be examined by a podiatrist.  The cause of each and the appropriate treatment is not the same for all.  Warts are viruses resulting in a skin lesion.  Calluses/corns are your skin's way of protecting itself from pressure.  Blisters are breaks/peels in the skin resulting from friction but can be the result of internal injury/inflammation.  Get checked.

Question 2

hey! i'm a 22 year old white male and recently i've discovered these small white bumps on my penis shaft. they're painless and look like skin tags. they seemed to form after i had some warts removed from my elbow, which leads me to believe that it may be

Accepted Answer

Probably normal: Every male has &quot;small white bumps&quot; on the penile skin, normal sebaceous glands and hair follicles. If you are sure this is new and/or abnormal, see your doctor or a dermatologist. In the meantime, this description doesn&#x27;t sound at all like genital warts. And common skin warts don&#x27;t get transmitted to the genital area, so that&#x27;s really not something to be concerned about. Best wishes.

Question 3

hi, i have been noticing that lots of my accuentences have wart like growths on their elbow areas. i am just concerned for their health and curious. ?

Accepted Answer

Lots of things: Sometimes the skin just turns velvety, with a thicker epidermis. It's a common spot for papillomas and common warts, as well as acanthosis nigricans. Cancers almost never pop up here. Best wishes.

Question 4

lump on seven yr old daughters elbow. wart or?

Accepted Answer

Has to be seen: Could be swollen lymph node. Check with her primary care physician.

Question 5

i have recently found that i may have plantar warts. i have had these for months now but assumed it was a callus. is there any way to rid myself of it?

Accepted Answer

Duct tape: There is actually good experience with covering the lesions with a strip of duct tape.  Leave it on until is either gets messy or falls off, and then reapply another piece.  This might take 6 weeks or so but you can gauge the effect at each change.  Hopefully this will do the trick for you.

Question 6

i used a pumice stone on a verruca (thought it was just a callus then); is it ok to keep using the samestone, or will doing so maybe spread more warts?

Accepted Answer

Wart Treatments: Yes. It can spread. Here are some otc treatments.
1. Salicylic acid. This is most effective against plantar warts (warts on the soles of the feet). One should use the strongest (highest %) of salicylic acid possible.
2. Cryosurgery. There are now home treatment freezing units and should be used with extreme care.
3. Duct tape. No better than placebo, but works for 20%

Question 7

i had a wart treated with salicyloc acid.the bump had fallen off but the hole healed and became a smooth and callus like skin
its not painful or itch?

Accepted Answer

Unclear question: Apparently the wart healed. Give the resulting tissue time to remodel.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 8

i burned off a wart on my arm, and i'm wondering if this could lead to it spreading more? i've had it for years and remains localized to my elbow. it is a common wart.

Accepted Answer

Probably not a wart: It is not feasible to know for sure without having examined the "wart", but if it was there for years, it is unlikely to have been a wart. For now, you may watch and wait, if the lesion comes back or spreads, be sure to see a doctor.

Question 9

please tell me, could a callous on fingertip become a wart?

Accepted Answer

A callous: Is dead skin, a wart is a virus. A wart can often look like a callous. A callous could turn into a wart just like skin can....

Question 10

what is the difference between a plantar, common wart and a corn or callous?

Accepted Answer

Lesions: A wart is caused by a virus. A corn or callus is usually caused  by pressure from an outside source claisingthe skin to become thick.
