When I was only nine years old, my hands and elbows were covered with these horrible and ugly looking warts (It is confirmed that children are more susceptible to suffer from warts due to their undeveloped immune system).
It was frustrating to see that the warts seemed to NEVER go away regardless of the many treatments and hundreds of dollars that my mother would spend trying to find a solution. They tried all the imaginable methods on me; Liquid Nitrogen to freeze the warts creating a blister, expensive prescription medications and topical creams, even scrapping it off until it would bleed, nothing worked, the horrible warts would just grow back and sometimes would even grow back bigger.
I was only a child back then, and I remember the humiliations at school and everywhere I would go. I can only image what a traumatic experience it would have been having them as an adult. Having warts definitely affects your social life, your work relationships, your personal and love life, and most awfully your self esteem.
