It looks like a wart and it's very difficult to remove it...

Hello,

I have this wart on my nose, it started with a small spheric bump - that is the base of the wart now- and after some months two little stems went off through the bump, these stems are harder than the flesh there and a bit translucent.

I'm wondering if the bump and the stems come from only one condition or if the bump was contaminated by a wart.

What is the best treatment for removing this wart please ? Thank you for any advice.

    If I were you I would have it looked at by a dermatologist. It might be something more sinister than a wart. Warts often have a distinct cauliflower shape and I can't see that from the picture you posted.

    If it looks suspicious your dermatologist will remove it together with border of healthy skin and perform a biopsy.

      Thanks, I will go to a dermatologist, it's a two months delay, it looks like a small papilloma like the one on the other picture (from the internet), it seems that's from the same family.
