I have a wart near my left eye and my doctor recommended removing it with surgery under local anesthesia as a precaution, even though it's not causing problems now. Since it's so close to my eye, is the procedure safe? Could there be any risk of nerve damage or other complications? Also, what are the chances of it coming back after removal?
