AIBU to insist on a gp apt for “just a wart” (disgusting pic included)

[6timesthemess]

I mentioned to my gp a while ago that my 2 year old dd had a wart under her toenail and he was super dismissive saying they don’t deal with warts just freeze it off. He didn’t even look or really glance away from the computer.

I have frozen it with stuff from the chemist and that’s made it a lot worse - my dds toe looks like a disaster zone .

We have moved House recently and for whatever reason her toe is getting worse.

AIBU to insist on a gp appointment about this even though I have been told to leave it ? treatment from the chemist hasn’t worked and her toe is really tender the last few days!

I’ve tried to take a pic so you can see what I mean!

Take her to a chemist and ask for advice from a pharmacist. If the pharmacist says "she needs to see a GP" - tell the receptionist at the GP what the pharmacist said. I had something similar with DD - an infected ingrowing toenail. GP receptionist was unhelpful so I went to a pharmacist, who said "she needs to see a GP" - phoned the GP back, told them what the pharmacist said and they got her a same-day emergency appointment. Good luck.

Just take her to the drs her nail looks fungal with a wart. I've seen hundreds of warts in my life and I've never seen one make a nail go like that.

Have you tried Salicylic acid preparations? I think you have to apply for days for a few weeks but may be more successful as it breaks down the protein in keratin?

I'd definitely see a different GZp though as they should be able to scrape it off as it looks a bit dangly anyway.

If you see the same GP, don't mention the word "wart". Just say she has some sort of growth under her toenail which is obviously causing her discomfort and you're worried about it.

I had a what appeared to be a warty 'thing' on my back. Showed it to the GP who said I should book an appointment with the practice nurse who would remove it.
In the meantime I put Vicks on it and it's disappeared !
