I went to the doctor today. The NP I saw (Pam) thinks the infection is basically gone, and said I could stop the antibiotic ointment. I told her I wanted to do the full 10 days as prescribed, and she agreed that was also reasonable.
She used the cryogenic thing on my wart, and the first application hurt enough more than in previous weeks that I told her not to do a second.
I have a follow-up with Andrea (who has a lot more experience with that wart treatment) in a couple of weeks. I'm not supposed to do anything for/to the wart in the meantime. In a fortnight, I will ask her whether to resume using the salicylic acid pad, once the irritation that seems to have led to he skin infection is thoroughly gone.
Also, continue to moisturize, either Vaseline (just on the relevant part of my index finger) or hand lotion.
Then I took the 96 bus to a Walgreens on Mass Ave near Cambridge Common, to get more insurance-paid covid tests before that coverage goes away. Covid tests in hand, another bus to Harvard, where I bought two pints of ice cream before heading home.
