Liquid Filled Bump On Upper Arm, Has Turned Brownish Black After Using Apple Cider Vinegar. Was Using The Vinegar A Safe Bet?

I have a liquid fill bump the size of a wart on my upper arm . Doctors say it s nothing to be concerned about but it drives me nuts , it s so UGLY! My wife removed a wart with apple cider vinegar a few months back so I decided to try it on this growth. It has turned brownish black and leaks a little. Do you think my efforts are safe?

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

You might have developed herpes infection.

Warts are not water filled

An examination of fluid from the lesion can confirm the etiology.

You might require treatment with anti virals.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
