Stop it or I'll freeze your eyeballs and drop them in my apertitf Daiquiri as ice blocks.

Yep.

Take in a thermos flask and ask them to fill it.

Maybe not all chemists will do it, but there are those that certainly do.

Or there's this:

You don't use wart remover for moles. You use wart remover for warts. Moles need to be dissolved off slowly. I used some lotion that I bought online. That did the job to remove 3 moles off my body. But, I was told by someone involved in the company to just buy burdock powder and apply it to the mole, and cover it with a band aid for a week.

Used a length of dental floss to "strangle" the tag. It hurt a bit more than I had hoped and it took a couple of days to work. I would recommend going to a skin doctor to get it removed instead.

Some of the moles on my back got ripped up and started to bleed. I might take advantage of that likelihood scenario come September, and then start using the burdock method on the moles.

Oh, I see where I went wrong. I had the impression that it was that liquid that basically kills the warts. I tried that 20 years ago with a mole on my neck. I was sick for a while afterwards.

Whilst reminding ourselves we should never take advice from an anonymous online forum, even though he for some reason asked for it rather than seeking real medical advice.

Yes.

Go to a chemist for the liquid nitrogen, and tell the pharmacist on duty why you want it.

Don't just steal it from a lab somewhere without getting advice on how to use it.

But I'm telling you, that's how GPs and skin specialists treat skin tags - they burn them off with liquid nitrogen.

I read a lot of things online from people who are unaccredited in a field of study. Their posts are just something I use as motivation to do further study on the subject with accredited professionals' research findings.

I won't rush out and buy a certain brand, just because a forum poster said so. They are making recommendations. The research I do for their recommendations is what matters before I take future purchasing action.

I know but considering we are taking about unsub you could be advising him to burn off his second head and it may be the smart one! Undecided
