I have a wart on my arm that has hair growing in it. What kind of wart-remover can I use?

Female, Age: 65, Texas

Already Tried:
The things I bought said not to use on warts with hair, so I didn't use them. I tried the freezing stuff but I didn't get rid of it.

Dear Customer (name blocked for privacy),

Warts don't have hair. The reason over-the-counter treatments say not to use on warts with hair, is because it is technically not a wart. You should see your primary care physician or dermatologist about having this removed.

Sorry I can't recommend anything over-the-counter. I hope this helps! Good luck!
