Child with large Wart on Face in DD's Nursery

93 replies

hedgegatemum · 20/02/2022 20:46

Is it okay to have children (babies aged 9 months) with large visible and uncovered warts in a nursery setting on the face (where it will be touched daily and touch surfaces etc.)? DD is only 8 months.

How on earth do you know it's a wart. More likely some sort of raised birth mark. Regardless of course it's ok!

ChudraWouldaShouldya · 20/02/2022 21:18

I really do fucking despair 🙄🙄

Violetmo0n · 20/02/2022 21:19

Fuck sake

PinkPlantCase · 20/02/2022 21:20

I mean yes OP is being unreasonable but warts ARE contagious. It’s on the NHS website.

TabithaTittlemouse · 20/02/2022 21:21

Remove your child immediately.

Luredbyapomegranate · 20/02/2022 21:22

My god. How unpleasant you are.

It’s probably a birth mark if it’s on the face, but either way it’s fine. If you are concerned talk to the nursery head, but be really really clear you aren’t being a dick about it, because here you are coming across as a dick.

Is it ok to have children with neurotic and judgemental parents there? Hmm

I had warts on my hands for years as a child. Nobody else caught them from me (eg family or friends who held my hands). I still felt utterly horrible about them, really ashamed and hideous at times. I don't know if op thinks children like myself or the tiny child at nursery should be locked awat from the general public or something but I sincerely hope she doesn't contribute to giving this kid (or the parents) a complex.

VodselForDinner · 20/02/2022 21:28

Jeez OP, imagine if it was your baby and some other parent was talking about them like that.

Thewolvesarerunningagain · 20/02/2022 21:30

This isn’t going to go well OP.

Ipadflowers · 20/02/2022 21:32

Oh dear op. Even if you thought it, you should have given your head a wobble and realised not to say it. 😳

Tsuni · 20/02/2022 21:32

@Sandsnake

Does he also have knobbly knees and turned out toes? If so, maybe have a word with the nursery. If there’s purple prickles all over his back then you’re definitely screwed.
Oh help! Oh no!

No, no. You were correct the first time.

Luckily little children tend to be less judgemental than their parents.

My DD (when she was nursery age) used to break out in sores around her mouth if she came into the slightest contact with tomatoes/ strawberries (luckily not painful or itchy), which she grew out of.
Her 'classmates' never said anything to her.

Rainraingoaway21 · 20/02/2022 21:35

OP is this child at nursery with warts your DD?

It is not clear from OP's post that it is another child at nursery she is talking about.

It is not clear from OP's post that it is another child at nursery she is talking about.

She gives a different age for 2 dc so I guess it's not hers. Child with suspected wart is 9 months and dd is 8.

Oh

dipdye · 20/02/2022 21:38

Oh come on

I had the same experience and it’s so fucking depressing that people still think like this.
NotYourOscarSpeech · 20/02/2022 21:40

What a vile individual you are OP.

Looneytune253 · 20/02/2022 21:41

Wow everyone's jumping to conclusions here. OP may be a mum worried about her own baby with a facial wart wondering how other parents would feel. She says the babies in the room are around 9m and her child is 8m. People are vicious on here when they don't know all the facts

Thegirlhasnamechanged · 20/02/2022 21:41

Wow. What a thread to read to lower my nerves about how parents and peers are going to receive 1 year old DS and his strawberry birthmark on his forehead when he starts nursery soon

OP. it is perfectly fine and you’re coming across as a massive dick.

TakeSomeMoreTea · 20/02/2022 21:44

I'm so uneducated about warts. I thought you had to treat them. Please don't anyone be nasty. I had one on my hand once and my Mum treated it.
