this probably belongs in medical but i want to get some attention to it first..

ok so for about 10 years i've had a wart on the side of my finger (or i assume to be a wart anyways, it's certainly not a mole, it's raised, if left alone developes a white 'head' and is very hard/calous... can also be sore to strong pressure/sharp edges)

anyways since 13 i've been trying to get rid of it.... first i started off by cutting it out (not off, i'd cut into fresh flesh) with a knife, when that didn't work, i did the same thing but followed by 20 seconds of direct flame from a lighter, when that didn't work, everything above but following with an ice cube on it til i could no longer stand it (2-3 mins?)

yet it always grows back....

then i moved on the to the conventional wart treatments (those lil bottles of pure funk you're supposed to put on it...) never went away... then recently i started using that dr. freezeoff crap on it... 8 treatments and still it stays.... i've resorted to just cutting it off with a nail clipper when it gets large and 'white' again...since when it's not there, it doesn't hurt really... but the longer it stays un messed with, the sorer the area tends to get...

so my question is... is this dangerous? i only ask cuz i know messing with moles can indeed cause them to become cancerous... but if messing with a wart were dangerous they woudln't have over the counter products, would they?

anyways i'm just wondering... i've pretty much accepted the fact it's NOT going away (i've tried everything under the sun) atleast with any home remedie so all i can do is cut it off when it starts getting sore....
