A member asked:

What do you suggest if my thumb wart just fell off, but the skin underneath where it was is sore..?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Twila Fickel answered

Tincture of time: When the wart falls off, the skin underneath may be tender from being protected. The soreness should go away as the skin matures.
