Parallel World Pharmacy

Volume 4 - Ch 1.3

Please, wait a moment. Mlodie-sama, may I see your hand?

Verruca vulgaris

Falma used his divine eye to confirm the disease verruca, more commonly known as warts. Falma took Mlodies hand and brought it near his face to inspect the blood vessels under the warts.

These warts were caused by viruses

Falma explains the concept of viruses to Mlodie. Warts usually form in places where the skin is injured so Mlodie, as a craftsman, must have hurt her hands a lot.

Currently, there are no drugs which can cure this virus

The human papillomavirus (HPV) has infected deep into the skin of Mlodies palm.

No way it wont heal? Itll be very embarrassing if this increases

However, there may be drugs which can treat this please give me a moment

It was impossible to judge the effectiveness of liquid nitrogen as a treatment using Falmas divine eye, so he checked some other drugs instead.

Salicylic acid

Glutaraldehyde

Theres a way to soften the stratum corneum of the wart, but its not always effective. In this case, it doesnt seem like it will work for Mlodie.

At the same time, Lotte had just returned to the pharmacy from her errand and saw Falma unexpectedly grabbing Mlodies hand and bringing it close to his face. She was startled and quickly hid in the pharmacys shadows.

I wonder if Ill have to leave the de Medicis familys mansion if I get married maybe Ill only get to see Falma-sama at the pharmacy

Meanwhile, Falma had finished examining Mlodies hand. He was completely ignorant of what had just happened, and instead began to explain the treatment process.

Theres no way around it. Well freeze the warts using liquid nitrogen. After that, you can return to your mansion for some tea

Theres no cure for verruca vulgaris, so the typical treatment is to use liquid nitrogen to freeze the skin until it becomes necrotic. Then, the infected area can be shaved off little by little. Its normal to not use any anesthesia when treating with liquid nitrogen. However, there may be a sharp pain, so it was important that Mlodie didnt accidentally activate her flames.

Mlodie is a flame arts user, so if she accidentally evaporates the liquid nitrogen, then the treatment cant continue.

Ok

Mlodie looked puzzled.

What would you prefer? A way that may hurt more, but takes less treatments, or a way that may hurt less, but takes more treatments?

Im in pain, so its better if it doesnt hurt

Mlodie was scared.
