Do warts do that? Or is it something else?

I think something else. That doesn't sound wart-like, but more like an infection - maybe around the toenail? But warts don't make pus. And the red and swollen also sounds like an infection. Could also be some kind of nerve irritation /damage in the foot - probably from the karate kicking, I'd guess.

You really are remarkable, msbelle.

Suzi, maybe a splinter that got infected?

java - it's all good, I didn't take it as anything but helpfulness.

Thanks, msBelle. I like you too much (even from the box) to want to add to your frustrations!

Did everyone everywhere insert "hey motherfucker get laid, get fucked" into "Mony, Mony"? One retro bar where we hung out that did performances to songs (Colin worked there and performed--it was cute) put something like "get laid get AIDS" in there instead.

I finally understand why Mony Mony was banned from school dances! I could never find anything dirty in the words. 20+ year old mystery solved.

I went to a wedding once where they inserted "Stay home...read books!" Awkward intellectuals. No shock, I'm sure.

David, it is in the middle of the top of his foot, so no toenail involvement. He did not have a wound here previously - according to him, so who knows. I'm just not sure if it is doc-worthy, ya know? I hate being the overprotective mom.

If it disappears tomorrow and then reappears as a bunch of little bumps in a circle, it's ringworm.

Could it just be irritated from the bump rubbing against his shoe, Suzi? Does it feel warm?

I'd be tempted to chicken out and deliver it in the early evening, except I'm going to have to rent a car while mine's in the shop, so I want to give them as many full days to work on it as possible. I'm an insomniac, but the idea of being up that early on purpose still offends me.
