She removes the night gown and then sits on the toilet to peel off the scales. It looked like toe sized scales had a layer underneath so it can be removed this time. She used her nails and dug underneath. It was quite painful but she was able to grasp the single scale between her fingers. The area she removed the scale from kept stinging but it was not too much of a worry for her. She examined the single scale but was unable to determine why she was growing these under her belly button.
The area where her scale was had healed and had been covered by normal skin again. As much to her shock, your wife was somehow relieved to find that removing them was the cure. She spent some amount of time removing the painful scales from her body. One by one, the scales were removed and the skin slowly healed and grew back. The unwanted scales fell to the floor but was picked up moments later to be flushed down the toilet. There was a handful of the scales and she was glad to be rid of them. She was pleased to look normal again.
