Can Warts On Hands, Squamous Cell Carcinoma In Foot Lead To Multiple White Skins Below Nostril?
I have multiple white skins on the bottom of my left nostril. They've been there for about 15+yrs. At first, there was only one and it looked as if it might be a wart or a skin tag. now it's a little larger and multiplied. they hurt and bleeds when pulled or picked at. What can this be? I've had warts on my hands as a child many yrs ago plus in early 2013 I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma on my left foot. Can it be either one of those? I stopped thinking it was a wart after years passed by since warts normally go away on there own after a couple yrs I thought. Please help. Thank you.

Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM.
I would keep a possibility of Filiform warts judging from the way you describe it and since you also have a history of warts.
Warts can persist for years. Sometimes they seem to be apparantly cured after removal OR even spontaneously, but they can be clinically silent and reappear at the same OR another location over the body(auto-innoculation) at a later date.
I would advice that you visit a dermatologist for a visual confirmatory diagnosis. In case of any doubt your dermatologist might feel the need to send a biopsy from the lesions for histopathology. That would be confirmatory
take care
