The bumps your friend had from shaving were probably ingrown hairs.

Honestly don't get me started-they're chuffing useless. I wrote a letter of complaint to them recently because they were so disorganised and unhelpful during his recent cancer scare (we have the all-clear for now, thankfully). I wish we could change but no others in his area-however I have advised him that if any further complications occur we are going private! I really cannot stand incapable GPs. Even their practice is a reflection of their care, it's so scruffy and pokey and impersonal-and they're very rude on the telephone too.
Ingrown hairs are a pain-I have had issues with those too. I have had a look at warts now and I understand more what you mean.

I love the unconditional love thing here-I did that with one of Neill's too but I don't fancy my chances with the smaller ones.
