Guest guest Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Looked at photos of keloids, and they don't look the same as what the young girl has on her knee nor what the boy has on bottom of his toe... a keloid from the picture seems to be raised skin that's smooth with no texture, while what these children have are bumpy and rough and look exactly like a wart texture only covering a larger area...not nodule -like at all,,,just a raised patch of bumpy " skin " . It looks paler slightly than the surrounding skin, not darker. Any other ideas?

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 wartlike skin My neighbors kid went swimming in apool about three years ago, and scraped the bottom of his toe on the rough cement bottom of the pool. he now has a wart like covering on the bottom of his toe...its about 1/2 inch by 3/4 inch and looks like the texture of a wart. They tried compound W with no help. It doesn't appear to hurt, but he is extremely self conscious of it. They noticed that his cousin has the same kind of growth on her knee where she got a scrape a while back, could very well have been on a side wall of a pool too. I thought it might have been some weird bacteria that grew in the rough surface of swimming pools that got into their skin and the rough growth some kind of scar tissue? Any ideas what it could be and how to get it to go away? ========================= Warts are caused by a virus. Chaparral is an excellent anti-viral and anti-fungal (and to a certain extent, anti-bacterial) agent. I use Shegoi (info about it is on my website). Colloidal silver cream, sold as the brand name Tetrasil, has also been said to give good results. But the cheapest, easiest way is to put duct tape over the wart so it suffocates. On another list I'm on, a man reported that his doctor confessed that instead of burning off the wart, he could do what the doc's wife had done at home: simply put tape over it. This was done, and the wart fell off in less than a week.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I used to have warts when I was a kid. I remember when I was about 7 getting one burned off my thumb. I have a lovely inch long scar to show for it. Another one that I must have got a few years later on my knee came off when I fell over and scraped it off comepletely. And I can remember sitting in a science class when I was 16 trying to dig one out of my pinky. Ow! That one persisted for ages. Several years later I had much better success with the suffocation method. Just goes to show that we do get wiser as we get older, thankfully. I used some special wart paint and then put tape over it and voila - it came off. Why couldn't the doctors have figured out about suffocating them before they disfigured me! Arrrgh. Oh well. I don't even think about it until conversations like this come up. Try treating it like a wart and see if that helps. Good luck wartlike skin My neighbors kid went swimming in apool about three years ago, and scraped the bottom of his toe on the rough cement bottom of the pool. he now has a wart like covering on the bottom of his toe...its about 1/2 inch by 3/4 inch and looks like the texture of a wart.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Thanks Nenah and Cheryl and Connie for your prompt responses... The picture of planar warts looks closer to what the boy has, and possibly what the girl has as well. Thanks for the suggestion of duct tape...I wonder if teatree and coconut oil would do anything as well? Saw a site that was called " natural Oils " that claimed to eliminate warts with their oil products...I'm thinking maybe they have some combination of oils that I could more or less replicate....such as VCO and teatree. Any other thoughts? Thanks again... you know how kids are with their feelings about looking strange.. :-) wartlike skin My neighbors kid went swimming in apool about three years ago, and scraped the bottom of his toe on the rough cement bottom of the pool. he now has a wart like covering on the bottom of his toe...its about 1/2 inch by 3/4 inch and looks like the texture of a wart.
