Suggest Treatment For Wart On Finger

I have a wart on my small finger on my left hand and I keep knocking it. It has become quite big and bleeds profusely when i knock it. Can i treat it whilst it is like this? I have put a non-adhesive dressing on it to protect it. Should i just wait for a couple of days to let the healing process take place before trying treatment? Thank you

Hi thanks for asking question HCM.
It can be treated to home or at clinic by doctor.
the various options are available.
The concentrated cold air can sprayed over wart and then wart scrapped away called freezing treatement.
The patches containing salicylic acid can also be helpful.
The duct tape can be applied over wart for several days and then wart soked and removed with rubbing.
Your wart is bleeding .so better to go to surgeon for its removal.
The liquid nitrogen today is mostly used which is very helpful and take only 5 to 10 minute for removal.
It can also be surgically excised.
After wart removed take following preventive measures.
cover wart with bandage.
regular hand washing done.
keep hand dry.
I hope i have solved your query and it will be helpful to you.
thanks.
