Hello,
What does the button look like?
Is there a black/grey spot in the center? Is it a hard piece of skin? What color is the lesion?

I can't tell if it's gray or black but a dot more info in the center of the bump. She seems to find it painful on I put a little pressure.
Is it possible to send you a picture?

In the application it is not possible, but you can send it to me by email: -------------------------------------

It does look like a wart. It's too close to the nail to use the over-the-counter products safely
I feel like we will have to go to the doctor and have him burn it off with cryotherapy

Okay. So I can't put anything on it for now?

I'm afraid that the salicylic acid products available over the counter will do damage to her nail. These products work by softening the skin (and the nail) to dislodge the wart. If these products are used, make sure that the nail is protected with a sticky paper or a bandage so that it does not become sensitive and brittle

So, if the right precautions are taken, it may be possible to use topical salicylic acid products. It may take a few weeks to have an effect and they must be used daily to have the desired effect

Perfect, thank you
