More treatment: Yes, i know, that's not what you wanted to hear. Warts are caused by viruses. They infect cells before causing typical warty appearance so normal appearing cells infected w/virus surround a visible wart. Therefore, need to be aggressive in treating visible wart by including large ring of "normal" cells in hopes of ridding yourself of infected cells. Have you tried cryotherapy (freezing)? Podiatris.

If it was: A wart, it is possible a regrow th has occurred and may want to try a different treatment than sal. Acid. I use a laser to get rid of them but other options available.
