Brief Answer:
need not to worry much.

Detailed Answer:
dear madam,
thanks for your query.
the warts are usually viral in origin, most commonly human papilloma virus.
you are presently on steroid inhalation medication. such medications may slightly increase the chances of viral infections.
it is a good sign that your wart has not increased in size or number since then.
you should consult a dermatologist for this. he/she will completely treat it. there are many methods to treat a wart like cryo-therapy, chemical cautery or electrical cautery etc.
please feel free to ask further.
