Hi i have this wart on the side of my finger i tried using vinegar and antibiotic ointment on it....the skin started to peel around the wart now it ju?

Treating warts: Vinegar won't help warts at all, and neither will antibiotic ointment. If you're sure it's a wart, over-the-counter wart treatments are available (e.g. Compound W and others on the same pharmacy shelves). If uncertain, see a doctor for diagnosis. Good luck!
