Hole On Skin After Wart Removal. Done Apple Cider Vinegar Treatment. Worried About Wart Recurrence
I have a hole where my wart on my leg used to be. I got it off with apple cider vinegar and now theres a hole. I am afraid that the wart will grow back because around the hole my skin is raised just like the wart but with a hole in the middle of it. Also the hole wont heal. Should I continue with the apple cider vinegar treatment?

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic
Are you still continuing the treatment. It is an irritant which causes chemical burns and maybe that is the reason for the hole not healing.
If the border is raised like a wart it could be recurrence of wart.
I would advice you to see a dermatologist and get the wart cauterised.
Apply an antibiotic ointment like povidone iodine ointment thrice a day so that the wound heals.
Hope this helped
Take care

Hi you are right there are chances of recurrence of wart .you should apply 10%_20% of salicylic acid and lactic acid in colliodon.If the lesion is larger then you could apply 40% salicylic acid -lactic acid in collodion.if still the recurrence occur then you could have electro cautery of the wart or you could go for cryotherapy that is use of liquid nitrogen but these procedures are done by your doctor.do consult with your local doctor for the choice of treatment.
