Never heard of a warty "attitude," so I'm not sure as to what to comment. But one thing is for certain . . . If you are able to grind or cut down with a razor blade that much "whatever," all the way to its base without seeing blood, it is NOT living tissue and must be some form of hyperkeratosis. If that is the case, it doesn't really "grow" . . it "accumulates." There are a bunch of dermatologic conditions wherein the skin is far more proliferate than normal in moving living cells to the surface where they arrive as dead cells.
(see http://www.ccspublishing.com/journals5a/keratoderma.htm) for some examples.
But I have never seen these sort of conditions localized to one specific small area of the skin and would have to believe that your present situation may be an unintended result of your previous procedures. My recommendation for your obtaining a pathology report was in respect to the initial SURGICAL removal of the growth. As I point out, lasers remove tissue by vaporization, and unless your doctor did an incisional biopsy BEFORE using the laser, there would have been no tissue remaining for histologic identification.

I would recommend your see a dermatologist, perhaps at a teaching center, if one is in available your area.

Finally, thank you for your kind words of appreciation, but, although I am a frequent contributor, it is not my web site.
