Dear all,
I am totally depressed because I have recently found that I may have got the flat warts. Not yet confirmed by doctor but i am pretty sure it is it.
They first appeared as a cluster of more than 15 raised skin-color bumps on the back of my hands. At first, I thought they were only sort of a sebum-enlargement-induced problem. Being tired of the way they looked, I popped them out with my finger nails, squeezing out a somewhat clear liquid. 2-3 weeks later they had all been dried up and were not that raised anymore. However, I noticed that they just left a dark skin tone behind. The color just did not go away like those dried up acne having been squeezed. I also started to notice a few more raised bumps emerging. They are more scattered this time but it is still scary to me as it seems they are spreading on my hands and arms.
I don't know where I got it from. My first guess would be getting it from the gym-room equipments when my hands were totally dry because of the cold whether which I believe to be the cause of making my skin exposed to the virus.
Please help. In these days i have been googling on that and I am shocked by how terrible they could get. (No means to scare off people who are having it. I maybe wrong. Please correct me)
Those on my hands look like it: http://www.szpfb.com/pfkjb/UploadFiles_1443/201011/2010112217092370.jpg
Could anyone, perhaps with his/her experience, tell me if it is really a terrible skin disease?
I read that they could re-appear after they've gone and could spread from one place to another.
Please tell me that it is not as terrible as it sounds.
Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Additional info:
Could it due to allergic reaction? But they don't seem to subside if i don't pop them out.
I did have hand sterilizer after I started using hand sterilizer. I started using it because I was afraid that i might have genital warts which were later confirmed to be not by doctor.
