I cut my plantar warts out with a toothpick and used aldera on it too. was that a safe decision?

Well...: If it didn't get infected, then i guess you really didn't do any real harm. See a podiatrist for a better solution than bathroom surgery.

Nope!: Doctors are allowed to pick at things, but that's because we went to school to learn how. We're professional pickers. See a podiatrist for options for treating your wart that don't involve self-surgery!
