If your son has not been seen by a primary care doctor or a dermatologist, I would start there. I would not presume that the lesion is a wart and I would not use medication on it unless it was prescribed by one of those doctors. Good luck.

I would have your son evaluated by an Orthopedist/Podiatrist. I think that this would be best.
