Day 16

I've made a decision. It's quite apparent at this point that I'm gonna have to get rid of the callused area, since it threatens to cover the red area. If I can't see what's going on, I can't take action, assuming I'll have to take action. So, I get a cutter box knife (they're pretty sharp), sterilize the blade portion I'm going to use with a lighter, and go to work.


Getting rid of the callused area, seen in the above picture, shows me that the red area is actually bigger than I thought.


I think maybe I should clean and disinfect the area, so I take an alcohol swab to the wart. The above is what I get. The light from the flash highlights the roughness of the surface. Also, the red area, circled by the callus, is not as red as in the past couple of days. Maybe things are progressing for the better?
