dd getting hard time because of warts

[dinny]

how can I help her? she's year 2 and has had problems last year with one girl excluding her from groups

now, this girl has homed in on her warts on her fingers and now no-one will play with dd

feel hesitant about going to the school as have already been this term for something else, but in the class room, think teacher thought I was neurotic

am really fed up - feel like just taking her away from the school and protecting her

Tried that Wartner stuff?

Also,I know this is really random and I do appreciate it might not be for you etc etc. But when I was little I had a few warts on my finger and my mum (Irish) kept saying: "You'll have to get a dog to lick them."

I thought she was mad, but then one day someone else said the same thing and her dog then licked my hand where the warts were. Gone in a week, I swear.

I know I sound like a right nutter, but have heard so many people say the same thing worked for them!!

mmmm, thanks, will give the dog licking a go!

wonder if it works with cats - we have two right here!

what's the worst that could happen? try it!

also, can anyone think of good retorts dd can say to anyone who teases h
er about them?

I would speak to the teacher and state clearly that your dd is being bullied by x again and is being excluded. Please can we come up with a school/home plan to work on this.

Then follow this up with a letter to the head if needed, ie the teacher brushes you off, says she can't do anything etc etc. Keep raising the issue in writing and after approaching the head this way if nothing happens start coopying the letters in to the governers. It is much harder for a school to ignore letters than verbal discussions.

dh wants to hold off a couple of weeks and see how things go

just not sure - don't think anything they do can help with this really

dinny, my dd had exactly the same. The go tried everything, cream, filing them etc etc. No-one wanted to hold hands in the playground.

Then me and dh met a guy at a BBQ and were telling him about it and he said he had exactly the same thing.
He told us to split the stalk of a dandelion and rub the juice all over the warts before bed and leave it soak in.

No word of a lie within a week or so they were all gone, and thankfull have never returned.
Worth a try

Mosschops, was redaing my natural health book this pm and it said the same! so i did it, although not much juice seemed to come out!

did you do it just the once?

WW - yes, think I have heard of that too, worth a try, thanks!

have done the dandelion sap today, really praying it helps! can they disappear suddenly or do they fade?

hey dinny, as far as i remember we only did it once. They just seemed to disappear, it wasnt overnight but within a week or two it was like 'oh my god where have they gone'

let me know how it works for you

right, I THINK they have faded a little!

dd says - "oh yes, they're going now" very matter-of-factly!

I do hope so!!!

My daughter had fifty seven warts on her hands and knees for over two years, we were referred to the hospital, who refused to freeze them (thankfully as it is painful) she advised smothering them with cheap moisturiser every night and covering them with a giant plaster (we started with the huge ones on the back of her hands), in the morning file them and repeat the process.
We also were advised to take Nelsons thuja homeopathy pillules (very tiny and minty), two a day. Within a fortnight the whole lot had gone, i'll never know if it was either of those processes or the combined that worked but we have never had another wart.
she is now 9, was about 6 at the time.

have just seen this thread - dinny you sound like me! my dd ( yr 2 ) had about 12 warts all up her left thumb and the base of her thumb and they were making her miserable. She was not bullied but certain children had noticed and were commenting and she was ultra sensitive. The nurse at the doctor's said the same thing - too many to deal with, just leave them. So I bought some of the wartner's home freezing kit and used that. I used it three times on the large warts and she hated it - it DOES hurt and is NOT painless like the label claims! the next day i would use an ordinary nail file/emery board and file them away, a little at a time, preferably after a bath when the skin was softer. Now they are completely gone and you would never know she had them. So it's worth a try. She hated the actual freezing bit but I only doid it for 15 seconds, not 30 or whatever the label recommends, plus I promised her a reward for her bravery.
HTH.

BTW I would leave around 2 weeks in between each freezing session.

I had the same problem

In total I had 9 warts on my fingers when I was in year 3 I got them frozen off, hurt like hell but was well worth it. I used to get bullied very badly because of it but afterwards no one said anything and after a while forgot all about them.

Hope your DD feels better

well, update is that her warts are definitely disappearing (albeit slowly!) and she hasn't really mentioned them for a good while now...

the best thing will be they won't come back when they're gone!
