    The incident...

    In my teens I had warts in a very intimate place. Our insane family doctor handed me a bottle of Podophyllin (either mixed with salicylic acid or two bottles, I don’t remember) and a toothbrush. He said to apply it wherever was needed. If you know about salicylic acid you will already know how insane that was. I slathered it on completely ignorant of the impeding consequences. It burnt my exit so badly I was scream crying constantly. Because the doctor had made it sound like he did a normal thing I thought I was just being a baby. I remember spending a lot of time in baths being looked after by my then gf just in constant, near passing out, agony. It’s easily the most pain I’ve ever experienced. Also, it didn’t get rid of the warts!! I had to wait till many years later and a very gentle medicine called Aldara. No pain and no more warts, thank goodness.
