Suggest Medication For Wart
thank you. I have areas on my skin that seem wart-like but they aren't. I can't remember what they are called though. Eventually I can scratch them off with a fingenail and the derm. says they aren't dangerous
can you help me remember the name please?

Hi,
I can understand your concern for venereal wart on foreskin. After reading your history I can make out the possibility of "skin tags".
It needs cauterization under expert direction by radio-frequency.
For the above you can meet a dermatologist for best possible diagnosis & treatment.
Do not pinch, pop or scratch the area. Keep the area dry and wear cotton socks. Change the socks two time a day. Do not get exposed to extremes of environment and protect yourself from further infection.
Take care.
