I had a wart on my index finger when I was a teenager. It was right in my cuticle line. It drove me crazy and I would pick at it to no avail. One day while in the shower I got so mad at it, that I just picked and picked and the strangest thing happened. I ripped the whole wart out! It had little roots. It bled a tiny bit, and it was just like the wart had never been there. Brand new skin underneath; couldn't even see where the roots had been. So weird. The depression in my cuticle where the wart had pushed the cuticle back eventually went back up on my nail where it was supposed to be. Warts are little mysteries!
