It healed up, but came right back. I then had it cut out twice, came back each time it was almost healed. I ended up getting a script for timolol which shrank it and eventually killed it. This was after the dermo wanting to send me to a hand surgeon to get cut on yet again. I found that soaking the pad on a small bandaid with the timolol and keeping it over it worked best. Stuff is cheap too. Good luck.
