or know of any consequences of doing that?

I caught this tiny wart on my finger on something at work the other day and it was half ripped-off and I just went ahead and pulled the rest off. It hurt like a sumbitch and those things are DEEP too. Achtung!
I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.

    There are alot of blood vessels in a wart so they bleed for ages and yes, they hurt when you rip them off.
    There is no use pulling them off as they will just grow back again.

    You need to get them frozen off with Dry Ice from your local Dr.
    And even when they scab up from the dry ice, you cant pull it off again, or it will just grow back.

    Just from what ive experienced and heard....im no Dr :o

    Don't do it. Huge mistake. I guess it's too late.

    I some cases, you're actually spreading it all over your hand. I'm not sure how that is exactly, but I've exerienced it when I was a kid.

    I ripped off a single wart and boom I had 20-30 new warts on that same hand in a matter of weeks. The only time I've seen anything like it is when I've seen pictures of genital warts.

    But, I didn't have genital warts. They were just plain old warts, and there were zillions of them on my hand.

    Had them frozen off over and over again, and they wouldn't stay away. They ALL grew right back.

    Finally, my Dad took me to the special forces' personal doctor as my dad is special forces. Apparently, they do it the right way over there --with a burner.

    This doctor was not concerned about causing me discomfort. He cooked my hand like it was chicken on the bar-b-cue. He goes, "Are you sure they're only on your hand?" He pointed to my crotch as he said this. I'm like, "Yeah I'm sure." Again, they weren't genital warts.

    Nowadays, I heard most docs don't use burners becaus the smoke from the cooking warts is actually carrying the wart virus. But, from my experiences, the burner was all that would work.
  • I had a wart on the tip of my finger once. It was there for about 2.5 years, nothing would get it off. I hadn't played guitar for about 5 years, and I started up again. Anyway, playing guitar (the wart was on my pointer...on the left hand...and i'm a right handed guitar player) made the wart disappear. It was like magic; about 1 week of guitar playing made it go away.
    Whats got the whole world faking?

  • I used to have warts on my hands, just under my fingernails.
    My whole right hand was covered in them, at least 2 on each finger. I used to cut at em with the nail clippers, and they would grow back.
    I put Cod liver oil on them for what felt like about 2 years, but it wasnt that long (over exaggerated kid memory) and eventually they went away. Havent had one since!
