plantar wart. all wart removals should heal pristinely, warts are on only the outermost layers of skin above where scarring occurs.

Surgical wart removal can involve some pretty deep incisions and month long recovery. Scars aren't unheard of as I understand it

(And it can be futile ! The wart can easily come back)

The wound was about 6mm deep on my heel and took months to heal properly. And yes I did check those homophones :-)

And thanks for the other homophone correction!

Pristine implies not only a lack of scarring, but no infection during the healing process.
