Brief Answer: Moderately potent steroid Detailed Answer: Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic I am Dr. Kakkar., I have gone through your concern and I have understood it. I would keep a possibility of Irritant dermatitis due to the liquid wart remover. A wart remover medicine usually contains a keratolytic, which can cause irritation and subsequent pigmentation If I was your treating doctor I would have asked you to use a moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone twice daily for 7-10 day, to help the dermatitis resolve. Fluticasone can used for a further 2-3 weeks to lighten the pigmentation I hope this answers your query regards

Brief Answer: Follow it up with me after 2-3 weeks Detailed Answer: Hi. The irritant dermatitis should resolve within a week, by then you might notice some amount of peeling of the skin. After the dermatitis resolves, you may apply the same cream on the pre-existing dark spot for another 2-3 weeks or so, if required, to lighten it up further. I think this should make a significant difference to the discoloration by then. You can follow it up with me after 2-3 weeks by clicking on my profile http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-kakkar-s/66939 and asking me a direct question. regards take care
