Several weeks to heal then you can consider something called subcision and injection of a filler...and then there's surgical removal of the area either with a punch biopsy or a regular excision and sutures...even though you don't want it cut out...that may be the best option if the doctor...

Thank you for your question. I would recommend not taking anything until your wound is completely healed. It is advisable to always let your doctor be aware of all of your medications, drugs, and smoking habits you have prior to any procedure. I hope this helps.

An in-person exam is always best. If you have a site that changes at all, it's best to see a physician. But based solely on the photo, it looks like a mole or a seborrheic. In general, warts look more like lumpy cauliflower than something smooth and round.
