Compound W Maximum Strength Wart Remover Gel, 0.25 Oz

The Gel Stays Exactly Where I Put It I have been treating a stubborn finger wart, and I prefer this gel formula over the thin liquid products I have used in the past. The thicker consistency stays on the wart instead of running onto the surrounding skin, and the narrow tube opening makes it easy to apply a small, controlled amount. The 17% salicylic acid gradually softens and removes the thickened wart tissue. It dries fairly quickly and forms a thin coating over the treated area. Consistency is important—this is not an overnight cure, and stubborn warts may require daily treatment for several weeks. I soak the area first, gently remove only the loose dead skin, apply the gel directly to the wart, and allow it to dry completely. Care is needed to avoid healthy surrounding skin, since salicylic acid can cause irritation. Anyone with diabetes, poor circulation, or uncertainty about whether a growth is actually a wart should consult a healthcare professional before using it. Bottom Line: An effective and affordable wart treatment with a precise, no-drip gel formula. It requires patience and consistent application, but it is much easier to control than a runny liquid.

I had a large wart on my cheek. It took a few weeks of regular application but the wart was reduced to a small patch of rough skin. No longer noticeable. I would recommend this product.

I've used this about a week now and the wart/tag is mostly gone but I was consistent in putting it on after a shower at night and cleaning the area in the morning. This compound can be strong on sensitive skin so be careful to only put it on the area you need. I made the mistake the first time and put in on my skin around the area I wanted to treat and got a small chemical burn so if you have sensitive skin, only put it on the area you want to treat. I put antibiotic ointment on the area that was damaged but it healed fine, no scaring. You only need a little drop and it adheres to that area, so a small amount goes a long way. Its effective and it took only 2 days for me to start seeing results. Its a great price and works!

It takes a couple of applications but it works really well. It does have a slight burning sensation. It’s also important to avoid the surrounding skin as it can leave burn marks.

It takes a long time to work. My daughter who is 7, has a lot of those plantar warts that I have tried everything to remove. She absolutely HATES the freeze off so this was an option. It is easy to use, the tube is tiny. You will need to probably be consistent with it, I would say 2-3 tubes for maximum effectiveness. The texture is gel, it does stay put. I use a cotton swab to apply for less mess. It dries quickly so that's a plus. Overall, happy with it but only issue is that is doesn't work as fast as described. Will have to buy more and keep consistent with it until they are completely gone.

This is the best product I've used so far for removing warts. It is slow; I bought two six months ago, and it took that long to get rid of my biggest foot wart as well as three small hand warts along the way. It is pretty cheap at $8 per tube though, and it doesn't leave any noticeable nerve damage. I've had freezing work for me before, but my doctor said my foot wart would need three peels and that it would be fairly expensive each visit. I've used OTC freezing sticks as well, and when those have worked, they've left scars and nerve damage. I've also used the salicylic acid bandaids, which are very similar to this paste, and they peel off too easily and have too bandaids per package to be economical. I did not use them long enough to see them work. This product also uses salicylic acid and requires several peels over months to get rid of a wart, but I do not notice any scarring or nerve damage. I recommend putting on a glob up to twice a day as per instructions. Beware that it takes at least 30 minutes to set to the point that you can touch it without smearing it. It takes at least a full hour to fully set.

This stuff is amazing! My 9 year-old had a cluster of warts on his knee--one large and three or four small ones, as well as one between two of his fingers. We have used three different wart removers (the kind that you brush on), twice a day for four months and nothing happened. The warts would seem like they were getting smaller and then any progress would stop. He's getting sensitive about it since he's in shorts all the time so I tried this as a last-ditch effort before having them removed by a doctor. Holy. Cow. I've been applying it twice a day for a week and already two of the small warts are completely gone, and the others are shrinking rapidly, even the large one. The gel makes it easy to apply and it dries fast, usually within about a minute. He says there is no pain or tingling. The tube is small, but it only takes a small spot for it to work. Honestly, I think this is an amazing product.
