Is Puss And Blood On Wart Dangerous?
Hi, i have had a large wart on my thumb for some time now and have been using a wart remover on it for a week. Today the top layer of skin peeled off and after accidentally bumping it, dark pus started to ooze out of it followed by blood. Is this of any concern?

Hello,
Perhaps the wart is infected. I suggest you to use a topical antibiotic e.g Neosporin ointment.
