I have a growth on the bottom of my foot between the third and fourth toes. It doesn't really bother me but it looks ugly. It has not responded to wart medication though I have been told it is a wart. It also does not respond to callus or corn removal. When either medication (for wart or corn/callus) has been used, it is only temporary and the area regenerates and seems to enlarge. What could it be and who should I see?

See a dermatologist ASAP. Skin cancers can occur anywhere. It could also be a seborrheic keratosis or mole, but it should be checked. Eliot
