Spot Erasing.

For a handful of years, I've been struggling with the elimination of a batch of platar wart spores that have appeared and reappeared despite several rounds of treatments. Did the over the counter stuff. Did the rasps, nail clippers, can-o-freeze. Did the hook-up from Aunt Jenni to have them cut and cauterized out (twice) then saw a guy named Dr.Burns to do the same (ironic name, n'est pas?), he himself treated me twice. Then a doc went in with a CO2 laser and went all Darth Vader on my heel. Mostly, after to subtract the amount of agony that was created each time I put weight on my foot, I was left with scars. Scars that both a) you can't see very well, b) simply made the spores freak out and jump to a different location on my sole. Gross!

John's been dealing with his own dermal issues and trying to make his tinea versicolor less noticable. Permanently would be optimal, but he's willing to settle for weeks at a time. Me, I think it's beautiful, but it's his skin.

We had previously heard about Dr Herbich from a few people at the shop where I work, but my prior knowledge was that he was a plastic surgeon and could perform laser tattoo removal. Really, we considered looking him up for that, but when upon email and re: he could treat us for our own little oddities as well. Last week, we hurried to get into town while everyone was hurrying to leave town (i.e.: rush hour, how smart!) so that we could be seen. Rx for John, appointment for my foot for this Saturday.
This time around, I'll be treated MUCH differently, and I'd rather just give you a link to take a look than to sit an explain myself (warning, its not exactly appetizing). Nevertheless, I'm so ready to get rid of these things as they tend to act up when my foot is damp (shoes+socks a lot, wet from water) and after a while they begin to hurt.

This is probably going to interfere with the gym. Great.
