Coping With Plantar Warts

I have a huge wart on the bottom of my foot. And it has 3 smaller neighbor warts. the big wart has caused me a lot of pain. i have had it for about a month and a half. i feel like an alien has taken over my body. i have been treating it with duct tape, but my skin is so sensitive and the duct tape seems to be breaking down all parts of my foot except for the wart. this godforsaken wart will not go away. today i had a break through and i pulled the wart half way off. it burst with blood and the pain was excruciating.

i feel like this wart is my arch nemisis… i even gave it a name: R.P. only distinguished linguists would understand its origins… anyway it is difficult to access the wart so my poor mother has had to cut and file away at it all these months. here i am, a 36 year old man and this wart is making me have to resort to my poor mother’s care. i am really sick of this.

i have seen a dermatologist and she told me that i just need to stick with the treatment but i am getting tired of it… not to mention the countless “why is there duct tape on your foot” comments…. this is awful, it is ruining everything including my love life. i am sure this will be over soon and i will look back on it as a trivial manner, but right now it is no fun.
