See a podiatrist: Warts ( verruca ) are a virus, frequently they will not go away without professional treatment. Seeing a physician will also help make the right diagnosis. Sometimes people think the lesion is a wart and it can be a different diagnosis like a interdigital corn, callous, cyst, malignant melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma etc. If your physician is concerned he may do a biopsy.
