Fringe benefits

I have black, wavy, waist-long hair and a small face with a small forehead. I'm planning to have a fringe cut. But I don't know if long hair or short hair works better with a fringe, or how short to cut the fringe.

Going for the chop

Louis Nguyen says:

If you have a small forehead, you probably won't suit a fringe. I think you should consider a reasonably short style (bob to shoulder length), and instead of a fringe, have some layering through the front. This will open up your face up, but will be softer than a fringe. This is a much more versatile style and you can use styling products for a dramatic curly effect.

Problems afoot

I've had warts on the soles of my feet for over two months. I have undergone liquid nitrogen treatment three times, but they haven't disappeared. They are very painful when I put pressure on them. How can I get rid of them and prevent them from returning?

Wart worrier

Dr Leung Sze-kee says:

Warts are caused by a virus for which there is no convenient oral or injectable treatment. Most treatments involve physically attacking the wart. This may be done by mechanical (surgery with scalpel), thermal (electrocautery), chemical (acid) or freezing (liquid nitrogen) means. A new method involves using a cream to stimulate the skin tissue's immunological reaction to tackle the virus. The fact that there are not many ways to treat this condition tells us that no one way is superior to any other. Prevent recurrence by practising good personal hygiene and stopping warts spreading by covering them with a plaster.
