ericthepen Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 You don't see them on peoples hands these days, very common in the 60's and 70's, why is that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971fozzy Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Probably down to hygiene levels have improved 🤷🏻♂️ Back in the 80’s loads of folk in my school had them on their hands especially. I had one for about a year. Horrible. Still remember the smell of the stuff I had to put on it, and it made no difference. Eventually it just disappeared thank god. I mind one poor sod had loads.

Vlad Magic Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Always remember people saying warts had seeds in them. In order to get rid of the wart the seeds have to go or words to that effect. Turns out (I’ve just googled it) the seeds were in fact blood vessels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il Duce McTarkin Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I required chemotherapy to get rid of one on my finger. It was like a 50 pence piece on my knuckle. Every time I caought it on something it would bleed like **** then grow back in bigger. ****ing horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo-Jimbo Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Had loads on my hands as a kid, used to have this horrible purple dye to put on them, they came and went for years, then just dissapeared, came back again in my 20's & 30's and were treated with liquid nitrogen to freeze them, worked on some but not on others, eventually went away by themselves, must be close on 20 years since I've had any now. They are seemingly caused by a virus. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/warts-and-verrucas/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Yes, I had quite a few on my hands when at school. I don’t recall how, or when, they went away. Ugly wee feckers they were too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Had one on my finger just last year, tried everything to get rid of it, nothing worked. Eventually got it lasered off in a clinic, stank like **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that on verrucas quite a bit as a kid. Loved the hissing noise as it froze and killed the skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was weird watching my finger die from the inside out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
