To make appointments with these GPs purely to tell them it’s their fault?

5yo DD has had a wart on her hand for the last two years. To begin with I thought it would go away. It didn’t and it grew. I have never had warts and neither has any of the rest of the family - I have no experience of them. Googled, but as she was under 4 to start with, a lot of the treatments weren’t suitable.

When I showed the GP and asked what to do, she pulled a face and asked why I wanted to do anything with it. I muttered about being worried she might get teased, but the GP looked at me like I was made, so I accepted her response that I should do nothing. I felt pretty mortified for even asking.

Despite feeling like a complete tosser for wanting to sort out the bloody wart, I took her to the pharmacist when she was 4 and he gave us a gel thing to put on. This didn’t work, and a friend who had had warts suggested going back to the GP and getting them frozen off. So, I thought maybe I’d just had a strange experience and another GP might actually help. Well I got the same fucking response - a sideways, judgmental look and the feeling that he thought me a neurotic mother were all I got from this GP too. It’ll go away on its own he told me.

DD has had a bad spell of health lately, she has ricocheted from virus to virus and also unfortunately developed eczema on her face. Between the blocked, runny noses and the eczema she has touched her face a lot. Tonight I have discovered a fucking wart on her beautiful face. On closer inspection, she now also has 3 other smaller warts on her hand, along with the very large original wart. I am so upset. With myself for accepting what the areshole judgmental doctors said, but also with them. I don’t have a degree in medicine and didn’t know they could spread like that. Why didn’t they help me with the original wart? Why did they not consider the fact that they could spread?

I am a teacher and if I rolled my eyes and dismissed a concern raised by a parent which then escalated, I would have my arse handed to me, not only by that parent but also my line manager. I’ve got an appointment with another GP tomorrow who I really hope will actually help us properly with this (I’ve been told he is very good). But AIBU to want to make appointments with the previous two GPs, show them DD’s face and tell them that I hold them personally responsible for this?

Disclaimer: I would never waste GP time by actually doing this. But AIBU to want to? As I said, in my job I’d be hauled over the coals.

I hope the OP sees my comment as I have had a very similar experience with DS1. He got his first wart on his finger when he was about 18 months old, that one hung around for about two years and then he had a massive erruption of them all over his hands. There were at least 30 of them, I was devastated. Then a year after that he caught them on his lips, they grew quite big and it just broke my heart. He started school shortly after that and it was such a worry for me. The GP wouldn't do anything, so we decided to take him to a private specialist for some new treatment he had developed. However, we decided that the treatment was too traumatic for him so we decided not to continue with it.

Then a week before Christmas he caught chicken pox, and it has completely cleared the virus. We think because his body was fighting the chicken pox (he had it pretty badly) that it noticed the HPV virus and attacked it too. The ones on his lips went first, his hands have taken longer as they were so old but they are almost back to normal now after a month or so.

Has your little girl had chicken pox yet OP? If she hasn't there may be some hope.
