Brief Answer:
Not wart

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Thanks for the follow up and photographs. It doesn't appear to be wart. It's just peeling of skin. Don't worry, it won't spread to your child. Apply tretinoin 0.05% cream daily in night for a month.
This should give you relief.

Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you.
