Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
I have reviewed the attached photograph and you have developed wart which is a viral infection of the skin.
I would recommend you to consult a dermatologist and get it removed by electrocautery or radiofreqency ablation.
It is a minor office procedure which can be done at any dermatologist clinic and will take 10 -15 minutes for removal.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
