That looks like it is over the back of your heel over the Achilles tendon? I would hvae that examined by a physician-it is difficult to discern the nature of that lesion based on the image provided
I would have it cut out and put sutures. Easiest treatment.
Have this lesion biopsied, as it could be a great number of things. This s always the wisest choice with multiple possibilities.
It certainly appear to be wart-like in appearance, however much like the other responders I suggest an in person evaluation with possible biopsy for pathological confirmation.

Certainly could be a wart but needs an evaluation and possible treatment or biopsy. Could just be painful from getting larger and rubbing but needs to be evaluated by a Dermatologist, Primary Doc or Podiatrist. Any of these physicians should help you with the diagnosis and treatment options.

May be a wart

I agree with the previous responders. Prompt evaluation and treatment by a qualified podiatrist in your area is essential. Do not delay!
This growth should be investigated since it now suddenly hurts you. It may be a verrucae or something more involved. Do not procrastinate. See a Posiatrist.

All of the answers on exactly my thoughts. 90 days is long enough have this treated and Do Not use an overthe counter wart remover please. You should have relief quickly and find out exactly what you are "growing". From the picture this appears to be on the back over your heel near your Achilles' tendon, that said this is always an uncomfortable region.

It looks a lot like a wart. However, with the worsening pain you should see a dermatologist. I doubt it is a skin cancer but it would be a good idea to have it looked at.
