The skin is red, because techinally it was frost bitten. The freeze kills the wart's roots, bascially from the inside out. It will defnaitely be tender for a few days.. but your skin will now push out that root ( you will not notice a physcial push out) but by washing hands... doing normal tasks... it just comes out.. and skin will return to normal. DO NOT POP, push or try to pull it out , that can cause parts of the root to stay embedded in your skin , resutling in another wart!
Don't squeeze it anymore. But the white area is the skin of the wart dying, which is normal & it may even turn black before it falls off. Keep area clean, but leave it alone & let it take its course.
