When will it ever end? Axey has a really big wart on the inside of his mouth, right where the bit goes

I decided to try and pick it off this evening as it looked a bit 'loose' but just ended up making it bleed. It looks really sore, bless him. I put some camrosa on it. Or would you suggest something else?

I wouldn't pick it off, leave it and it will hopefully sort itself out. Camrosa sounds a good option. Different thing but: My horse has some weird thing on his pastern that came back neg as a sarcoid but looks like one according to the vets. Tried lots of things on it, no creams (inc liverpool crm/camrosa) worked. But after some yrs it seems to have resolved itself. Very strange.
May want to use gloves when touching wart, you wouldn't want to spread it??

Thats a good point, I'll wear gloves from now on. He has about 6 of them around his mouth and nose. I've picked off 3 of them that had dried up, they came off really easily bled a bit but healed nicely and now you can't see a thing.
Trust Axey to have one in his mouth

Yes if there are a few of them maybe they can be spread. So you would be wise to wear disposable gloves. If the others are OK now hopefully it will resolve - camrosa is the obvious choice for this I would have thought unless you have to get a vet to look at it. Hopefully not
