Hi all,

So I've had this little bump growing on my hand for a while now (maybe about a year?).. I thought it was a wart so I've been using wartner to treat it for a while but no progress... It doesn't hurt or anything, but it's just annoying seeing a little bump on my otherwise clean hand..

Do I need to get this surgically removed, or do you think there's other things I can do without going into a hospital?

Are you a zerg player?

Do your Liquibets, boy!

But I would go to a Dermatologist, it should be pretty cheap if you have insurance and they'll do more than enough to treat you. Most Dermatologists are nicer than other doctors, too!

Any type of growth that doesn't go away very quickly I would definitely want to show to a doctor.

While it doesn't look like a melanoma, you never know. I'd get it checked out

growth on your hand, confirmed as not a wart and you STILL don't want to go see a doctor?? ok, then, here's what you do, (if your country is anything like France) go to a pharmacy and show the pharmacist, it's free, and they will tell you if you should see a doctor.

anyways, I really think you should go to a doctor

I had the same thing (a bit smaller) on my finger like 5 years ago. I finally got tired of seeing it and cut it. It hurt and bled and started healing as a smaller bump. I cut it again and after several times it just disappeared with no signs of ever being there for some reason. I don't really recommend doing this though.

Edit: actually I don't want you to die because I gave an irrelevant story about my bump, which could be very different from what you have. You never know about these things unless you have medical training; it could be anything.

you can probably get that thing frozen off like any other wart. Id go to the doctors and get it checked out.
