How Can A Wart On The Foot Be Treated?
2 months ago I developed a small wart like growth on the inside edge of the right foot. It seemed like a skin tag only hard. I snipped it off with my toe nail clippers. There was no pain. It did not bleed, the mark it left was small as a pin head. Now there is no mark or swelling or discoloration. It is extremely painful like tentacles radiating from the spot up near the arch (I m flat footed) up and around the ankle bone.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It may be corn. Not warts. As there is no bleeding and pain on cutting with nail cutter and there is a pain on pressing the lesion. You may apply salicylic acid 13% solution on the lesion twice a day till the lesion disappears. And avoid pressure on walking. Wear soft insoled shoes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
