Thomas has a little wart on the bottom of his foot. It did not bother him, but I thought I would mention it to his pediatrician at his visit. She referred me to a dermatologist. I called for an appointment Wednesday and I had my pick of 9:30 or 1:30 TODAY! They also have an office in the East Valley, so I did not need to drive downtown. (YEA!)
We went today and I have to say I LOVED these offices. They knew how to cater to children. It was the Phoenix Children's Hospital East Valley urgent care and specialist office (Higley & Southern). In the waiting rooms, they had a bench seat with two drawers. One had books and the other had toys. Thomas was in heaven! He pulled all the books out and then put them back. Same thing with the toys.
So the nurse practitioner comes in and tells me that a wart will go away within 2 years. Here were my options:
1- Do nothing
2- Put duct tape on it every 6 days
3- Put duct tape with Compound W every 3 days
4- Put Compound W on every day
5- Have the Dr dig it out
I am doing option 4. Thomas has a knack for taking off duct tape. We tried the duct tape earlier and it was off within 5 minute.
Overall, it was one of the nicest visits I have had to a doctors office in a while. PLUS- I did not have to drive downtown for a 20 minute visit!

Good to know, we had a wart at our house a few months ago and those sticker were awful, they were always coming off but by the time the package was gone it had scabbed over and fallen off. So it worked!! Good luck with yours
Thanks Marilyn! I was jut glad to know I was not being a horrible mother by not putting anything on it.
another home option is to put WHITE VINAGAR on a cotton ball each night since it's on his foot you could use an old sock to hold it in place....after about a week it will FALL OFF on it's own! =)
hehehehe love home remedies!!!
