Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It seems like you are dealing with an infected wart. We have to control the infection before removing the wart. As of now start a short course of antibiotics like Moxclav for five days and do daily would dressing. Once the infection is settled it is better to remove the warty lesions. You can either go for cauterization or advanced options like laser therapy. Consult a dermatologist and he will direct you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
