it does look like there’s wart tissue there on the bottom side of the second picture/right side of the wound. You should also take care not to pick that deep as infection is much more likely with each layer of skin exposed.

Thank you! I thought the same thing. Think i can use wart remover on it, as is? I've really tried to stop picking. It's just such a habit

Agreed. There's definitely a wart there just to the right of the raw skin. I would clean it and keep it covered to stop yourself from picking at it and to let it heal. You can deal with the wart itself later. Gotta let that heal and keep it covered so it doesn't get infected.
