I have this wart on the side of my index finger. I got it one day at work, not really sure how but its been there for about a month and a half. At first I though there was something inside because it was painful and I cut it off. It didn't bled, and I had a little pain, but it went away. Now, its back but it moved about 2 cm down from the original spot and it hurts really bad. There is no black dot inside of it but its starting to grow larger and larger off the side of my finger. I try putting a band-aid on it and it reduces the pain but it itches which is very uncomfortable. I don't want to go to the doctors but I do want to get rid of it and perhaps prevent these from coming back. Is there anything else I can do to get rid of it and stop pain? Is cutting it myself ok or should I go to the doctor? And what about those self removing kits? Are those any good???

Self removing kits don't work. I know I've tried. They seem to just spread them. Go to a doctor and they can freeze it off very easily and effectively. Most doctors don't charge much for the procedure.

I like Doc's answer. Take heed to what he/she said. I too have a wart on my finger. It will be checked out later this month by my Physician if not removed prior to my appointment. So irritating!!!!!!! I hate it! Good Luck with yours. I don't have pain, it just get in the way.

How can you be sure that it's a wart and not some sort of melanoma? This is not to scare you, but you should not try to diagnose your problem. Don't cut it either. Go to your doctor to have it checked. In the end it might be worth the visit.

Your situation may not be a wart - those usually grow very slowly. The itching suggests it's something else. You should not waste time with those "self-removing kits". It could be a cancer, and the irritation you'd cause by cutting it or using one of those over-the-counter self-removal kits could make it much, much worse, and very quickly. Get to a doctor and get it taken care of professionally. This is nothing to play with!

Just make an appt for your doctor and they will freeze it off. I;ve had one before and I DOES WORK. He may need to go a couple times. I did.
