you should allow the dermatologist to treat this subungual (under the nail) wart. this is not something you can do at home because of the location and potential for damaging the sensitive nail bed. one treatment of freezing it with liquid nitrogen may not do it. it may require several treatments or the nail may have to be surgically removed in order to treat it. the problem is getting any medication to the wart itself since the nail may block direct contact. the dermatologist has many more tricks up their clinical sleeves so go back.
i have a painful wart near the tip of my finger partly under my nail. what is the best course of treatment? . i've tried home remedies including salicylic acid and duct tape. it has been frozen once at the dermatologist's office with some superficial results but it is deep and partially under the nail. it interferes with my activities and i'd like to cure this sooner rather that later. how can i get rid of this?
