A member asked:
Kid had a wart on his toe. wart came off by itself, but there are still a few black dots under the skin. should i apply salicylic acid treatment to prevent wart returning, or leave it alone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would. The black dots are "roots" of the wart that draw in its needed nourishment. A wart can re-establish from a minimal presence. I would apply this until no black dots are seen.
