So note to self: don't use Compound W home-freezer kits to freeze off warts anymore.

Bought one of their freezer applicator thingies earlier last week. Had difficulty getting it to click open before I could get it to work. Once it worked, I guess it either worked too well or the instructions tell you to leave it on for far too long.

Froze the wart on my thumb plus some of the skin surrounding it. It went numb for a while then blistered up. Despite the growing pressure, I left it knowing blisters shouldn't be disturbed. I had to work the next day and bumped it while trying to move boxes in the cake decorator's freezer. It went full on angry-blood red, filled with blood, and ended up having to drain some of it to keep it from getting worse.

Well, it got worse as after draining it, it refilled and I kept bumping it into boxes. This irritated it further to the point of getting infected, and made me worry I would possibly get sepsis from it. Drained it at work and the skin just was disturbingly easy to peel back, and didn't hurt either. Covered it and went back to work, because band-aids are the only things we've got at work.

Went home, showered that evening and the rest of the skin ended up sloughing off where the blister was. Now I've got a gaping hole where the blister was, very angry looking skin that strangely doesn't hurt, but it looks like the wart may still be there.

Last time I had a wart I had to completely rip it off by hand. This is going to hurt if I have to do that again.
