complications after wart removal/ tips please

I had wart on my thumb,which my Dr. froze of. (planters wart) I decided to try otc wart removal since there are products available otc that also freeze the warts off. I think I "over" froze the area. I have a hard calloused area where the wart used to be, which gets very dry, and sore, and actually peels off. Several layers come off when this happens. The skin grows back, same process repeats. It gets hard, and dry sometimes it gets sore, then it gets ruff and I pick at it til it peels off. This has been going on for well over a year. went to a dermatologist, who thought it was a wart. He cut off the dry callous skin, and used those magnifying lenses, and said there was no wart, but perscribed Halobetasol Propionate, to be applied twice a day. I have been doing this for 4 weeks. No difference in the look and touch of the area, but it is now sore. Otherwise no help. Any opinions about this unusual problem? And what course of action should I now take. TIA
