What Causes Round Red Pimple Like Dots On Toes?
Hi, I have been having these round red dots on my toes (some look like pimples and other look like the end of a pen) they look like a wart but it has a lot of tiny white hair on it. I have been applying the freeze on but it doesn t do anything to them. Instead it just peels my skin off. What could it be? They have been on me for 4 months already. The first one looked like it was disappearing but then I noticed that I had been growig another one in the center of the tip of my foot and from there on, its been spreading and spreading.
