small bump on my foot that really hurts extreme pain when i walk i dont think its a wart cuz wart med?

Answer

Could be a "skin tag" but I bet it is a wart. If it is on the bottom of the foot, it is probably a "plantar wart" and often is quite deep. You can either continue treating it, which should eventually work; or go to a foot doctor to have it removed -- which may mean cutting it out, freezing it, or getting a prescription strength version of the product you are already using. I suggest getting a foot stone (available where most footcare products are sold, sometimes known as a corn-remover) and after every shower gently scrape down the area, then continue treating with regular wart med. Be sure that foot scraping go in the trash or toilet, so you aren't sharing/spreading warts!
