What does it mean when the skin around my plantar wart is falling off . .?

Going away?: It may be going away. Gently pare the loose skin and try otc salacid on it nightly- likely a good time to nudge it away.

Are you applying: Any medicine? If you ae using acid, you might be getting it on healthy skin. The peeling could be related to athletes foot if present as well or even dry skin.
