What to Do Next
Don’t pick or shave over it—warts spread easily.
If it matches the description of a common or plantar wart and isn’t on your face/genitals, you can try salicylic acid or duct tape occlusion (as noted in your source).
But if you’re unsure, worried, or it’s been there for months, the kindest thing you can do is see a doctor or dermatologist. They can confirm in seconds—and peace of mind is worth it.
Remember: Warts are extremely common, not dangerous, and nothing to be ashamed of. You’re not alone!
If you feel comfortable describing where it is, what it looks like, and how it feels, I can offer a more informed guess—but never a diagnosis. You’ve got this.
