Reyansh Johnson, a 16-year-old high school...
Reyansh Johnson, a 16-year-old high school soccer player, developed a cluster of common warts on his right knuckles about eight months ago. They were raised, cauliflower-like, and occasionally bled slightly if scraped during play or weightlifting, causing embarrassment. He hid his hands in his pockets. His pediatrician referred him to a dermatologist, who suggested a course of cantharidin treatment, a topical solution applied in-office that causes a blister to form under the wart. Reyansh was nervous but wanted them gone before summer. The application was painless. A few hours later, the site became mildly uncomfortable as a blister developed. He kept it clean and covered. Within two weeks, the warts sloughed off with the blister roof. The recovery was straightforward, and the skin healed well. Before, Reyansh felt embarrassed and 'grossed out' by his own hands, affecting his social interactions. After successful removal, he felt a boost in confidence, freely using his hands without thought, and was relieved to focus on soccer without the distraction.
