The head of the patch is white and hard having no sensation / pain on touch but The skin around it has become dark and is painful when pressed. It is not healing on its own and its there since 2 months . Kindly advice some ointment to get rid of it.

It can be a viral wart or a corn both need proper surgery under local anaesthesia to remove them . There are no medication for viral warts As they are virus in origin says Dr suruchi Puri with a rich experience of 17 years and who was associated with Femina miss India Contest . Aim is to try to remove viral wart as soon as it erupts do as to decrease the viral load and hence recover fast so that your own immunity is able to fight it . You can take an appt if it's available by calling 9868080 340 or u can cm at B/2/31 janak Puri or visit website www.drsuruchipurimakeovers.com if it's a corn still it needs surgery , don't apply corn cap as it worsens the condition
