Scholl Verruca and Wart Complete Treatment Gel Pen

Product Information

Acid treatments use salicylic acid or trichloroacetic acid to eat away your wart from the top down, burning through the dead skin. That may sound nasty, but acid treatments are relatively gentle, and can take a couple of months to remove a stubborn wart.

Your doctor may suggest one of the following approaches, based on the location of your warts, your symptoms and your preferences. These methods are sometimes used in combination with home treatments, such as salicylic acid. One of the best things about plasma technology as an alternative verrucae treatment is that it is virtually pain free. The ergonomic design of the Verruca Pen is comfortable to hold, conveniently cordless, and perhaps most importantly not intimidating or invasive to patients (especially important when treating children). With the precision of the microprobe the verrucae can be targeted and removed with only a minimal amount of discomfort reported by some patients, as the problem area becomes more tender with the disappearance of the verrucae or wart. The treated surface layer of a wart or verruca should be filed away using a fine emery board, for some types of verruca it will be necessary to cut away the hard callous-like surface to get to the soft tissue underneath. Repeat this verruca treatment for remaining wart/verruca tissue until the wart/verruca has gone.

Here’s how you can treat verrucas and warts with Bazuka Gels. The UK’s number one verruca and wart treatment range. Side effects of cryotherapy include pain, blistering and discolored skin in the treated area. Because this technique can be painful, it is usually not used to treat the warts of young children. However, despite the precision applicator, it’s all a bit fiddly to use. You have to keep the applicator in a vertical position, push and twist to release the gas, and then keep it in place for a full 40 seconds. Not easy when treating the underside of your own foot! But this may be just the thing to finally kill that stubborn wart on your hand. Salicylic and trichloroacetic acid work from the outside in, corroding the hardened layers of dead skin. Acid treatments work best after you’ve softened the verruca by soaking it in water, and may need helping along with an emery board or pumice stone, to rub away the hardened dead skin. It’s pretty easy to do at home, but it can take up to three months to shift a really stubborn verruca.

Study results have been mixed on the effectiveness of duct tape in removing warts, either alone or with other therapies. Touch the area to be treated with the wet tip so that silver nitrate solution is transferred to the area to be treated. Use light pressure, do not press or rub the area with the tip – silver nitrate is brittle and may break if too much pressure is applied. Most common warts go away without treatment, though it may take a year or two and new ones may develop nearby. Some people choose to have their warts treated by a doctor because home treatment isn't working and the warts are bothersome, spreading or a cosmetic concern.When used correctly, EndWarts ® PEN should not cause infections or scarring. 2 It is suitable to treat the whole family, *including children or small children (please consult a Healthcare Professional for children under 4 years). 2
