Warts

[ScreaminMeanie]

Yes, another lovely side effect of WG meds - being immune suppressed allows the virus that causes warts to become more active. I remember having one small wart on a finger when I was in my 20s. Got some Compound W and it went away very quickly.

Since my experience with Levaquin and Mtx (also I'm sure the Rtx immune suppression is still "active"), I've developed literally a rash of warts, mostly on my legs, but I just noticed one on my finger this morning. Has anybody else experienced this?

Haven't had quite this problem, but it isn't at all surprising. Never mind exogenous infections; there are many dormant microbes already in the body that might come out to play when the "authorities" are kept in the barracks. I suspect this is precisely why I had to deal with shingles.

No bujt as Al says it isn't really surprising. Just one more little goody from our beloved disease.

Mine are under my heavy breasts and when I asked to have them removed since they are just at the bra line and get inflamed, I was told to go and get a skin tag/wart remover. I honestly think that it is very important to have a doc that will go that exxtra mile for you when you need it. All's I can say, mine don't.

Yeap, I got them, too. After stopping the mtx, the body took over and is now suppressing them.

[ScreaminMeanie]

I don't get to stop mtx just yet, but I do get to reduce my dose again. I sure hope the warts start backing off soon.

Jolanta, are yours warts or skin tags? That site is a favorite for skin tags. I wish you had better doctors.

You mean there is a skin tag remover? I knew they had one to remove warts but not skin tags. I have lots of them including the place you mentioned. I won't get into size, but I doubt you come close to the cup size between between L and N.

Skin tags, but I thought that since I had a cancerous one removed from around my eye, I was covered for abnormal growth (even tags) removal. I guess not

OK HypnoticEyez you win
