That certainly sounds like a wart. Warts grow back, particularly if they're not removed completely.
You're not likely to start a cycle that prompts it to become cancerous (that's really a myth about moles, too, that messing with them can promote cancer; it can't. It's just that moles can become cancerous, whether they're messed with or not.). What you're at risk for is somehow injuring yourself or giving yourself an infection with self-conducted surgical excision. I'm fairly certain you're not using sterile procedure.
That wart-removal stuff they sell in bottle is salicylic acid, basically the liquid ingredient in aspirin. It gradually eats away the wart from the top down, and keeping it covered sometimes helps it go away and stay gone, at least according to what I just read at the Mayo Clinic site. If you've had that wart come back a few times even after you've excised the top, it's probably time to show it to someone with better removal ability and also let that professional send it to a pathology lab for evaluation. It's a quick, easy procedure to have a wart frozen off, and it's easy enough to do the next time you're in a clinic or doctor's office for something else. Mostly, though, you want to make sure you're not leaving yourself with an open wound on one of the dirtiest places there is, your hands, that could potentially be the entry point for a nasty bacterial infection.

They come back, by the way, because that's the genetic destiny of viruses. To return. Again and again.

i just cut it off again, i'll get a pic next time i comes up again...
and my god thank you so much.... my wife is convinced she's gonna get cancer because she has two moles, and she's been worrying about the one that got hit when she got her tattoo like non-stop since she found out it was also tattooed.... finally i can tell her shut the fuck up about it (in the nicest way possible of course ;) but it does get rather annoying)
you also don't have to worry about me and infections.... i don't think i've ever had one in my life... i rarely get sick either (Actually phsyically ill as in flu or cold) i'm pretty sure i have a good strong immune system and i don't like dip my 'tools' in excrement <.< just cuz i don't tend to get infections doesn't mean i don't take precautions.... i also wear a bandaid over it after it's, for lack of a better word, an open sore.
the doctor thing tho... =/ i never go to the doctor.... last time i actually went to the doctor was durring that whole heart episode awhile back, and before that... well i honestly can't remember... i never did see the sense in paying some guy hundreds that i can do myself (and have done myself) for less than 20 (first aid supplies) the heart thing tho lol that was far outta my 'skill level' so i definately had to go then...

I know you never go to the doctor. But I also remember the chest pain. Next time you see someone for something like that, even if it's 7 years from now, have that person deal with the wart, too.

k
speaking of chest pain..... what are the symptoms in dumb-dumb drunkard terms for emphysema?
i get occasional stabbing chest pains, i'm not worried about it, like freaking out or anything, i'm sure it's cuz i smoke a pack a day.... just curious tho...
i ask because atm i have the same 'lung pains' but it's all the way at the top of my shoulder blades? it only hurts when i breathe in, and it's that same distinct hurt... can that be attributed to emphysema or would that be something else?

I dunno but lately a lot of skin looks like thin layers have been shedding at the end of a few of my fingers. I've been peeling it away. Don't mean to sound stupid cuz it's probably just skin shedding but it's annoying.

I used to have one. Just run down to your local drugstore and buy something for it. It should disappear in a few weeks.

Here's some good general info on emphysema, Slip. Dave deals with patients who have it all the time. They can have chest pain, but that's generally not one of the key symptoms. The more common hallmark symptom of emphysema is difficulty breathing, dyspnea (shortness of breath), and fatigue, and it takes a terrible toll on people's cardiac health, too, since the heart and lungs are so physiologically intertwined. Emphysema comes on gradually and progresses, and it most commonly begins to show itself when people are past 50, but it can happen earlier. My mom now has emphysema after a 30-year "careeer" as a smoker, even after having quit cigarettes two decades ago. She's in her early 70s. She also has congestive heart failure to go with it. If you could see her get winded after just walking across a room and needing to sit down and breathe oxygen before she can recover, I'd hope you would quit that cigarette smoking ASAP. It's a heartbreaking disease to watch progress.
