MLK,

Calm down now. It's a public board.

Wart are usually cautorized with acid treatment. Or with Cryogenetics, a jet of compress CO2 gas rushed over the wart until the frozen cells just fall off.

The hickey machine would not be the primary procedure used. Because there is a chance cells infected with the virus would migrate to other parts of the body. Hence, causing secondary leison to occur on the body.

Also I'm not Board Certified. Best see an insured medical doctor for unsightly wart issue.

Oh so now it's Doctor AC Dropout, is it? Sounds kinda scary. I don't know if I would want to be seen by someone with a name like Doctor Dropout. Besides, suppose I complain of a wart not growing right, and then you stick a big machine on me...hmmm...I just couldn't imagine having a big painful hickey on my butt...that just sounds so--painfully sexual, not to mention unprintable on a squeaky clean forum like Goldsea.

MLK,

Well something like that does happen. But not with baby foreskin. Because infant stem cells are very different than adults. And since its from another individual rejection will occur from the immune system.

Usually a biospy is taken from some part of the body. Usually thigh or butt. A big suction machine give you a big hickey until a chuck of skin comes off.

Then the clones are grown on a collegin (protein) matrix. Which can be used as a bandage with people with ulcers of the skin.

But now I'm revealing my Dougie Howser past.

Touche on the ear ring analogy. HAHA

Taiwanese Guy,

Since you asked I was born abroad. I still have a natural party cap for my little brother.

But I did see my cousins get serious infections when they were kids and they had to get circumsized at an older age due to health risk. I was two and grandma decided it was a good lesson for us to see the results of bad hygene. Images like that would make me understand why it would be a good thing.

I've had a flip friend who got cut in HS when he joined the football them. Did not want to stand out I guess.

Personally, I like my party hat. But it doesn't mean it was never caught in a zipper or got an infection. But that's too much information for a public board. Even with those minor risk it's the coolest little brother with a party cap! ^_^

Cicumcision for better health is nothing more than myth. It should be stopped immediately.

AC Dropout,

hahahaha! how about we use the pieces, clone more of them until they become sheets of skin, and use them on burn victims! They will benefit from the great dermal-bandaid(although the sweat glands will smell sorta pubic-ish).

"...What does piercing an earlode do for anybody else besides that individual." Indeed! It does a great amount of good for the folks who work in the industries that help fill those holes! The earring corporations need to keep their workers busy and the workers need the paycheck at the end of the week to keep their families well-fed. As for the few pathetic people who work in the foreskin industry, it's paltry in comparison to the earring industry, don't you agree?

Taiwanese Guy,

More like ironic. If you see humor in it that's fine also.

I just wanted to share my experience of what happens to some foreskins after they are remove from the individual.

New Born foreskin is cute. Because it hasn't been anywhere.

But I had to handle face lift and adult foreskin. Well that's quite another matter. ewwww

AC Dropout:

"Only if asian males make more of these sacrifices can we get better skin cream, foundations, any tropically applied cosmetic product for our asian sisters."
I guess you weren't being sarcastic. Well, I have no problem with people deciding to get themselves circumcised, and sure, that's fine that we're gonna get better face cream(???), but it still doesn't justify cutting babies. They should be able to decide for themselves whether they want part of their penis going towards skin care research. Don't you think? I guess you must be circumcised. You think it was a fair trade?
