Dr. Deborah Ungerleider answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

See dermatologist: You could try one of the over-the-counter topical treatments, if you haven't already. Otherwise you should see a dermatologist to have them freeze it off/cauterize it.If it's on your foot, you could also see a podiatrist.
