My first Formalin Success story (yet to be confirmed)
I am not sure that anyone really cares (Matt are you the only one who reads these?) but I had my first formalin success story, but not before some drama.
2 weeks ago, had a young 10yr approx old male. a 5cm coin size VP just prox. to L 1st MPJ plant. Following debridement, Moved on to an HD on R'f, and within a minute I look up at him, pale as a white wall. Before I could lay him down in my chair, the poor little fella was sick. While his colour returned instantly, I was left with a lovely mess (and smell !) to clean up, and ended up running about 30 min late for next appt, while his mother and I made sure he was alright before standing up !! I didn't care, rather was wrapped he was alright when we left. He didn't give any warning signs what I was doing was hurting. No wincing or whinging. Meanwhile his mother was in fits of laughter.
Following the little drama, I felt terrible, but he was non-fussed. He was consequently fine, and today his mother phoned to say the wart had dropped off following 2x daily 1 min soaks of formalin. She was happy, but I am yet to see it again, so cannot confirm that it has completely resolved. I will keep you posted !!

Good story Bjorn.
I think such a response has got to be via suggestion rather than effect. No doubt Formalin works well in kids but anything does, in my opinion. Therefore always read research about kids with caution is my suggestion, especially when it comes to wart treatments.
Thanks for the post. The first real one from anyone but me. I was feeling lonely.
