Right now: If you have active warts and a new bump on the skin of the toe, chances are you have another wart. Look closely..Do skin lines go through it or around it? If the latter, it's a wart. I don't recommend duct tape. The reason it reacts with warts is the adhesive was not meant for skin contact and causes an allergic reaction. Thus can be severe in some individals. See a podiatrist.

Unlikely fungus: Fungus would likely be itchy and not a bump. See your doctor for help.

See below: The bump on your toe, could be a corn, or wart, or a bone spur. A wart will usually have a small black center and bleed when trimmed. Fungus tends to be red and have peeling skin.
