Hi.
As per your case history of wart, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Treatment options are cryotherapy, cauterization or laser ablation done by a dermato-surgeon.
4. Other treatment options are oral levamisole, zinc given only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
