See doctor: And find out why this has not healed. is it that surgical site never healed or is it that wart is still there? Either way, this should be seen by a physician so the problem can be treated.

Biopsy: First, I would highly advise you have the area biopsied to rule out something other than a plantars wart.

Warts are deep : To be excised correctly, the incision must be carried down to superficial fascia (Lemont) could take weeks to heal. But, your doctor should be guiding you and reassuring you during this time.

Several treatments: Plantar warts may require several treatments to remove the entire wart. These can include freezing electrocautry or surgical excision
