Wart Treatment



Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away works great for us! My 9-year-old daughter had a wart on her finger. We saw this at the store and decided to give it a try before going to the doctor. It was very easy to use, did not hurt much, (per her report, and she is a weenie about pain!) we only had to do it once, and in less than two weeks, the wart was gone! 'Nuff said.

  1. Thanks for the tip! I have had one on my finger for a couple of years. I really should remove it before school starts up again. Passing out papers makes me self conscious about it.

  2. We've used this with good results too.

  3. It's good to know this product worked for someone! We've only used the band-aid style product. Did you know you can also remove warts with duct tape? I learned this from our pediatrician some time back (there are many, but here is one article: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/10/14/health/main525523.shtml). Now that my 6 yr old has a wart, I wanted to give it a try. But, she wants to wear the "pretty band-aids" instead. Figures!

  4. Duct tape is good. We also use tea tree oil on a plaster which doesn't hurt.
    The freeze stuff looks good though!

  5. I used the duct tape, and it worked, but only on some of my daughter's warts--she had 2 different kinds. So we actually bought Target's brand of Wartner's. It is a "paint" and super easy to use. And a good price--about $3.00!

    Just a sidenote for the duct tape--you have to pretty much leave it on all the time which seemed to be slightly annoying to my daughter--she's four.

  8. I had heard of duct tape for plantar's warts, but wondered how duct tape would work on a finger? I mean, since you are supposed to leave it on for several days. I didn't think duct tape would stay on a finger that long.

    Let me know if anyone has tried it on a finger. My daughter's wart was next to her fingernail.

  9. We used this too and only had to use it once also. It's a great product. My son had several warts and they lasted for years. I finally broke down and got him a flu shot and it totally worked. This a last resort however, after may years of embarrasing warts on his face, etc.
