Imiquad is safe

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
Imiquad is very safe as well as effective however it takes around two months to show results.
It needs to be applied in night and washed off in morning.
I would like to see a better photograph just to confirm whether it is wart.
If possible upload another photograph of the involved area.
The uploaded photograph is bit blurred.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
