I felt some acute pain while walking for a half-year or so. It was increasing over that time, so I went to the doctor. Doctor said it was a papilloma wart under the sole skin, so she cut off the skin with some milling cutter(no Idea what it is called in English) and then pour some acid (even the smoke was obviously visible!) into the wound. It was painful, but FAR from how I expected it to be.
She called it acid. I forgot which one exactly though. It was in standard glass “medical” bottle, so it was acid and not liquid nitrogen. And I felt hot and pain, not cold or nothing.
Internet says it was most probably HNO₃ as most widely used acid for this purpose in my country.
That is really powerful, the one I know doctors use is salicylic acid. It’s used in a lot of screencare items, isn’t that strong and doesn’t damage your cells as much. There is a mix of salicylic acid with some wasp toxins that work by separating the wart cells from your cells.
But it does take multiple applications across months. So maybe nitric acid is used to finish it off in one go, but it does seem extreme
The doctor said to come back in 2 weeks, nothing I should do with the wound except for keeping it covered with… sticky bandage? Don’t know what it is called in English.
Nitric acid
Is this your doctor and was this the medical bottle she used?
When she said it was acid, OK. Salicylic acid then probably.
Extreme cold feels the same as extreme heat. But if it was just in a regular glass, prob acid yeah
