Warts & All



A short while ago, I discovered what appears to be a wart on the bottom of my foot.  It is specifically on the pad of my big toe.  The discovery was quite accidental; I think I was putting on lotion or something.   The good news is that I can’t feel it at all and it hasn’t in any way impeded my running, walking, or standing.  Other than the presence of a small white bump, I wouldn't even know it's there and doesn't affect me physically at all.  Psychologically, however, is another story.  It bugs the hell out of me.

I can’t stop thinking of myself as now warty and diseased.  I heard I could lance or chemically freeze it off, but I don’t want to risk not being able to run as it heals.  I read online that warts tend to go away after a while on their own, but till then I’m stuck looking at its ugly whiteness on the bottom of my foot.  I hate it.

Ironically, I have two hairy moles on my nose that bother me not at all.  Go figure.
