WartStick Maximum Strength Salicylic Acid Solid-Stick Common and Plantar Wart Remover 0.2 Oz

It is working for me..very happy
update: I have been using it for awhile. I believe the last 2 are gone!!! I told my doctor and he looked it up. He liked the the medication was in a solid form verses a liquid form. He was impressed by the productI have those nasty planters wart on both feet. I had 5 on left foot and 4 on my right. I have seen foot doctor and they said my only option was surgery. I thought i would try this 1st.My left foot now has 3 and my right foot has 2. I do put it on just once a day. I should do twice but I usually don’t do it. My other warts on both feet are getting smaller! It’s working so please give this a chance!I soak my feet at least once a week. I am pleased with the results. I would have never thought something that looked like a tub of chapstick would really work!

This works, but…
…maybe not how you expect.NOTE: _This is not medical advice, I am simply retelling an experience with a product. Please consult a physician for medical advice_Perhaps there are different types of warts out there, but for the case we were dealing with here, this product worked- but in an unexpected way. We assumed the product was like a type of pimple-cream: put it on the affected area as directed, and VIOLA! But not in our case. After 6 weeks of use (about half the recommended time), it was evidence that the wax stick [not sure if it’s classified as wax, but that’s what I’m calling it here] was just deteriorating the skin around the wart/fungus, and not the actual wart itself.We’ve never dealt with this before, so we kept applying the wax at least daily, with reports of discomfort (it’s literally melting away the skin [turns the skin white, as the wax erodes the dermal layers. The spent wax and skin need cleaned at least twice per day.)In short, because the wax seemed to be taking a very long time, with very little ‘direct’ effect, a lot of cleaning effort and pain; we decided to use a set of hemostats and pull the root of the wart out.In brief, the wax stick helped erode the top layers of skin to allow us to pull out the root of the wart. This erosion over the course of weeks yielded a small but tolerable pain (versus just cutting directly to the root). Once the skin was soft and white, it was easier to separate the tube of the wart from the sidewall, by twisting in clockwise and counter-clockwise circles/spirals; eventually prying it free from its base. Very painful processI have not been able to find a higher concentration of commercial salicylic acid without having to get into mild chemistry. Perhaps other people have a different type of problem or different experience, but this worked for us. It does cause pain if you rub acid on your foot and walk around on it.We kept everything clean, and after some time of applying product, we let the skin around it heal, and then began application again. We would dress the area with a non-stick bandage and tape. During one of the healing stages (6-8 weeks in), we used a scalpel (Exact-o actually/thank you) to carefully cut the skin free around the white stalk, and then used a slightly duller edge to ‘pry’ around the edges enough to get ahold of the stalk with the hemostats. At this point, we had to be very careful so as to not break the white stem (it broke once for us, and took a week plus to grow back strong enough to pull on). We very carefully attached the hemostat and locked them. Then, using precise gentle force- pull, turn and twist the stalk. The wart will be attached to the skin it’s growing through, so we had to very carefully get the sides free. Because this is a delicate process, it took us over an hour. Using constant, but miniscule torque, we tore the sidewalls of the stalk, from the sidewalls of the skin (both cylindrical). At the base is a rough, root connection to the skin and because we had completely and cleanly separated the sidewall, the base root just popped out. We actually applied more wax to the hole ensure the root was “cleaned out” (but painfully increased closure/healing time)The healing time for a cylindrical wound took us longer time to recover from than a linear cut. During this time, we applied an antibacterial salve and dressed with non-stick bandage and tape. We kept everything clean with rubbing alcohol while working. We were warned not to break pieces of the wart off, as the new pieces may form a new, full, wart. We checked out the area twice daily- cleaning, and inspecting for new growth until the base of the skin was healed completely. [As an aside, we feel this originated from going outdoors in a sub/tropical area with lots of ground fungi- barefoot]So that was our experience, your experience may vary.Don’t expect to just put this product on and make your wart go away magically. As noted from the other reviews, it can be painful depending on the user’s tolerance level. It will take some effort to remove, and this product can help.5-stars

Works!
This stuff is amazing! It works on a whole range of growths. It surprised me by even working on a raisin size growth that had been bothering me. I applied the stick every day then covered it with a bandaid. I did that for about a week or so and then kind of forgot about it only to discover later that it had apparently fallen off without even leaving a scar. Totally amazing! It won’t work for everything….I am assuming…..but it works for many things. Highly recommend@
