• okay… yep… i just did some research and it IS a wart—a “common wart” in fact….. supposedly they don’t hurt, but i suppose there is always an exception…. back to my oregano/tea tree oil.

• Great! Thanks so much SS & Markies! I tried putting crushed garlic on it a few months ago, but that didn’t do it. It looks like tea tree oil is the way to go—and luckily, I have some on hand.
