Hi Welcome to health care magic.Thanks for writing. Wart cream contains salicylic acid.You have developed contact dermatitis to it. Your initial red pimple may be due to some bacterial infection. Wash affected area with cold water.You can apply ice over it.Apply a steroid antibiotic combination like fucibet over affected area.Take anti histaminics like cetrizine.Do not try to rupture blister. I hope this can solve your problem .Take care.
