Hello!
About a year ago I noticed a wart on my second toe (the toe next to the big toe) this wart surrounds the fingernail and it also takes over part of the nail bed. when i first saw it i didn't think much of it until i randomly decided i wanted to treat it with the good o'l Duct Tape remedy. while looking up the effectiveness of duct tape on a wart on the nail i came across a website that said Sublingual warts have the potential of turning into "subungual squamous cell carcinoma." immediately I freaked out and started googling like crazy only to fuel my anxiety that much more.
what are the chances that a subungual wart will turn into cancer? i read online that it is rare and typically happens at around age 50+ ( I'm only 25) but aside from that there really isn't very much information on it. everything else on this website only covers nail melanoma which i find odd since Squamous cell carcinoma of the nail bed is more common than melanoma.
