Compound W Wart Remover Max Strength 14 Pads

I had a small growth on the side of my pointer finger that suddenly appeared 2 years ago. It was so small that it didn’t bother me. But over this last summer, it started to get bigger. I was actually able to clip it off...but within days, it would grow right back. After reading reviews- I settled on this product, mainly for the price and the pictures of results. I did what other successful reviewers said to do. Carefully place the medicine circle part of the bandaid over your growth, press it down so the medicine patch sticks, then wrap carefully to make sure that the medicine circle doesn’t move. That circle ⭕️ is where the medicine is. So if you don’t do it carefully enough- and the circle shifts- it won’t be effective. Take your time placing it. They are super sticky- so once you place it on there- it’s staying. Also, if your wart is bigger than a pea, I don’t feel like this would work, as the circle of medicine is only about that big. I used approx 2 bandaids per day, placing one in the morning, and then another in the evening. They are bandaids- they stick great, but if you wash hands often or do a lot of dishes by hand- you may need to replace more often. But listen- I did notice that it did MORE and was MORE effective, if I was able to keep the same bandaid in place for longer periods of time. I’m guessing the circle patch of medicine has to be in contact with your skin for a certain amount of time before it begins to break down. So in hind-sight, I probably should have bought some rubber gloves to wear during dish time. That’s when mine mostly fell off. I placed my first bandaid on in the morning and really didn’t notice anything but a “pruney” appearance to my finger for the next couple of days. I DID feel a tingly, almost burning sensation those first few days, but since other reviews warned of this, I don’t go ripping the bandaid off. Now- it wasn’t pain- just something I was aware of. So I kept carefully placing it on twice a day- and by the 3rd day- the magic circle started to do its job. My finger was so pruney under the bandaid (like I’d spent a lot of time in a bath) and the growth area started to feel tender. By day 5, it was starting to GROW and looked like a big white bubble. I took my nail clippers and carefully trimmed the dead white skin just a bit (yes- it turns it crazy white- like a white crayola crayon) but don’t mess with it too much, because it does feel tender and you don’t want to infect it. I woke up on day 8, and removed the last bandaid. I used all 14- the whole box. The wart did not magically fall off. But I took a pair of sanitized tweezers and was able to carefully lift it off. Every last bit of it just cleanly came away. No tugging or tearing- if it doesn’t cleanly lift off, use the bandaids a few more days. Don’t PANIC!!! It will look as though the medicine patch left a hole in your finger, and it will feel sore and tender. Mine was so tender that I wanted to put another (regular) bandaid over it, but it needs the air so the skin can dry out. So I left it alone. Within about a week the skin looked mostly better...but it was still a very tender spot on my finger. That feeling takes longer to go away. I waited almost 3 months to to write this review because I wanted to make sure it didn’t grow right back. And it hasn’t!!! Everything has healed and there is not a single spot to show it was ever even there!!! This stuff truly works!!! My photo is from right after- so you can see how it really goes down into layers of your skin- and shows why it will be sore and take some time to heal.
