I had a plantar wart for years that had bothered me. It was not painful or anything, but it was a sore sight. After trying the liquid removal, I gave up as it was harder to coordinate daily usage as it required socks to remain off until it dried and then it left a terrible layer of dead skin in your socks. I tried nail clippers to remove it and just was left with me digging away healthy skin and lots of bleeding and pain. I was not impressed. Then I used this and day 1 it worked great. Day 2 It came off the area and destroyed a piece of healthy skin. So I just placed a no-show sock over it then a real full length sock. This method kept it in place for the duration. I am currently on the last 5 pads and do not know if I need to continue going. I'm watching it carefully for any signs of the wart an will repurchase if it reappears the product is definitely killing it. I am no foot doctor though, so I cannot say what you have, but if it looks like a plantar wart after research, it might be worth giving it a go. Check with your doctor/pharmacist before starting as some disease states shouldn't use this though.

Let me start by announcing I am not one of those types that some classify as a homeopathic nut.

I felt like I got zero value for my money with this product. I have a mosaic planters wart at the base of my large toe. Which means I don't just have one singular wart to apply this product to, but many time ones clumped together. The box doesn't tell you that this product is not intended for this type. The little discs are literally the size of a tiny single wart. You get 24 little tiny discs that stick to the wart. I have 6 tiny ones and need to use 4-5 of them each time, to ensure I'm covering them all. The box states 'repeat every 48 hours' for up to 12 WEEKS! That means this box might last me a week (about now you should be going, 'wait, how much is this box again?', because I know I did...

I think I'll try the Oregano oil method (do your due diligence and research it and get your information from the credible sources available online). Oregano oil certainly is a lot more affordable to try first. The essential oil is only $10 on here for enough to completely get the job done in what I suspect will be the same amount of time. Even if it takes all year, I don't care if I only spend $10 vs $50+ by the time the warts have been destroyed and clear up.

So normally I wouldn't take THIS much time out to rant or rave about a product I spent less than $10 on... But I honestly cannot say enough to cover how truly amazing this product is. (I'm not being paid to say this- totally and completely my opinion). Anyway after going to college I grew a plantars wart on the "ball" of my foot- probably because of using shower shoes/communal bathrooms. I looked endlessly for "home" remedies- none of which worked. Duck tape would barely stay on my foot, and the wart just wouldn't go away. After about six months with the wart, it grew larger and became more and more painful everyday (size was larger than a dime). So after reading the amazing reviews I decided to give it a try.. best $7 I've ever spent! I've only used about 6 of the medicated pads, and the wart is already gone and I can now walk normally without scrunching my foot in pain. Surprisingly the pads stayed on, even through showers/wetness. After about 2 weeks of straight wearing the pads the entire area turned white. *A little gross*: I actually ended up using nail trimmers/cutters to scrap off the wart- sounds painful, but it actually wasn't. The pads made it so that the infected skin/area became painless and dead. The wart literally fell off- and my pain was gone. I honestly cannot thank this company enough for helping me to save lots of cringing, pain, and money. I can whole heartedly say that I recommend this product. Ahhhh!

I chose this product because it has a higher concentration of salicylic acid than most other products (40% compared to 17%). I did not realize these medicated discs would be so small - from looking at the picture on the box, I thought the larger oval disc was the medicated pad, but it is the adhesive cushion and the small dot beneath that (which I thought was the wart) is the medicated disc. The medicated discs are slightly smaller than a pencil eraser and the cushions are about the size of a quarter.

The small salicylic acid discs are the perfect size to use on individual warts, but only if you are treating one or two - if you have more than that, you will be using up the box pretty quickly as there are only 24 and you must change them every 2 days. You must cover the medicated discs with some form of adhesive bandage/tape as they aren't adhesive (only medicated) - the cushions provided work great for this, very sticky (didn't come off walking in socks/shoes all day) but can be awkward to walk on depending on the location of your wart and will come off in water/shower as expected.

I like this product and it seems to be working well, but since I have to use several discs at a time, it is not cost effective for me. As other reviewers have recommended, the curad mediplast pads seem to be the better option when it comes to treating an area affected with larger and/or several warts.

I just love it when something works as advertised! I had a simple, buried plantar's wart about a cm in diameter under the joint of my big toe and did a little online research before deciding to try this, and I'm so glad I did!

I "used as directed" applying it after showering while the skin was still softened, but dry. I normally shower every other day, so it worked out for me. The adhesive is strong, so it didn't move at all until removed. I let it soak a bit in the shower before peeling it off, and it came off easily.

I really didn't mess with it during the treatment, just let it do its thing, and lo and behold - the wart just peeled right off with the 7th bandage!! No muss, no fuss, no pain, no damage to surrounding tissue! I couldn't believe it! The skin beneath was a little soft at first, but fully there. No open wound, or anything that needed to heal. Incredible!

UPDATE:

About a week after I wrote, when the skin was all even again, I noticed some discomfort at the site while standing on a hard surface and discovered a small bump was still there. So as warned by the directions, a second application was needed, but it only took 3 bandages this time, and it is completely gone for sure now - and I still have 12 left if another rears its ugly head anywhere else! Still highly recommended.
