Is this a wart or should I see a doctor?

I tried salicylic acid for a few weeks and it briefly seemed smaller but then grew back. Should I go and see a doctor or try and treat it again?

How long has it been there? Does it itch?

Doesn’t look like genitals to me!

The photo wasn't visible when I first commented. It looks more like a skin tag to me.

Looks like a wart. I had one years ago. The Dr sliced off the top and then used liquid nitrogen. It's never returned.

A couple of months, it's not itchy. It's my hand.

That's reassuring

Thanks. I thought a skin tag would be a different shape?

They vary.
There must have been a delay with the photos appearing, which do look like a hand.

It looks more like a sebarrhoic keratosis to me than a wart. As with all new skin lesions I’d get your GP to check it.
