Was this a really stupid way to try and get rid of a wart?
I’ve had a wart on the bottom of my foot for quite some time. I’d gone and gotten it frozen a couple months ago and used some wart remover, but before the wart was gone I ran out -was sharing a bottle- and never bothered to do anything for a while. A few days ago I decided to take action, and that’s where this question comes in.
Out of curiousity, I’d put a little bit of alcohol on the wart the day before I started using salicylic acid. It had been pretty hard before, but then it got harder. A few days after using the acid, it looked completely white and dead, and was pretty hard. I got a splinter in the bottom of my toe today and when I was using a razor blade to get it out, I idly poked at the wart and didn’t feel anything. I got curious so I kept poking, and ended up digging out a lot of what looked like dead wart. There was fresh skin under it, and I’m still using salicylic to be safe, but did I potentially mess anything up?
It doesn’t hurt.

cutting it out with the razor is not the best way, never use a lighter to burn it either…using the otc wart remover was good but you should have bought more and let it do its job, the wart should have eventually fallen off by itself. but you probably didnt do any harm, just monitor it and watch for signs of infection
Probably not… Don’t worry be happy
the best way to remove a wart from the bottom of you foot is to put some rubbing alchahol on it and then burn it with a lighter.
