Is this fungus...?

okay i think the tip of my finger is infected with fungus [my pointer finger]


but the nail isnt yellow. the skin on the tip of my finger is just hard.


i try pealing it off to get the hard skin off but it always grows back...





and i cant feel with the tip of my finger either...


i tried putting lotion on it everyday to try to get it soft again but it doesnt work and i've had this since last summer...and i dont remember touching any strange plants or anything...





what do i have and what can i do to cure it?Is this fungus...?
If the skin is normal colored, but smooth and hard, it's most likely a wart. Warts are common on fingers. People often get them when they're young. A doctor can remove it or you can try something like compound W. The doctor will generally do a better job removing it. They can freeze it, to remove it and it won't even hurt. Often it won't come back once removed.





It's still *possible* it's not a wart. Only a doctor (or dermatologist) can say for sure.
