Wart won't go

[Rip09]

I have been trying to get rid of this wart for a while but it won't go away. I have been using this stuff called salicylic acid liquid wart remover and I have burned through the wart to the deeper layers of skin on my finger twice and each time the wart just comes back again. Any other suggestions on how to get rid of this?

Hello,
For small warts, several medications(like podophyllum resin, Podofilox (Condylox), Trichloroacetic and bichloroacetic acids, Imiquimod 5% cream and interferons) are available, which can be applied directly to the surface of the warts.Other treatment options include electrical cautery, surgical removal, Carbon dioxide laser treatment and electrodesiccation.

In my opinion you should talk to a cosmetologist/dermatologist about this and get these warts evaluated.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Hey, my brother had a wart and he too used salicylic acid, and it didn't go away so he got a freeze sort of gun (its a tube where you press down and it freezes the wart.) - just ask your local pharmacist, that should do the trick ;)
