The UK’s number one verruca and wart treatment range. Bring a list of all medications you take regularly — including over-the-counter (nonprescription) medications and dietary supplements — and the daily dosage of each.This belt-and-braces approach is designed to speed things up, potentially obliterating a wart in as little as five days, but not all users found it as fast or effective as promised. Perhaps by trying to do everything at once, it actually ends up not being powerful enough. Or it may be that many buyers use this as a last resort (it is quite expensive, after all) and are simply suffering from really stubborn warts that need to be frozen off by a doctor. The treated area is likely to blister within a few hours, depending on the depth and duration of the freeze. It may contain clear fluid or blood (this is harmless). Malignant lesions typically require multiple freeze-thaw cycles and ice field margins of 3–5mm beyond the lesion.

If medication and/or cryotherapy fails to remove your verruca, your GP may suggest minor surgery. This might involve having your verruca lasered off, scraped away (curettage) or treated with light therapy (photodynamic therapy). Your GP may also recommend some special creams that can kill the virus, stop cells from multiplying, or are usually used for skin cancer. Usually, no special attention is needed during the healing phase. The treated area may be gently washed once or twice daily with soap and water and should be kept clean. A dressing is optional but is advisable if the affected area is subject to trauma or clothes rub on it.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TREATMENT

However, despite the precision applicator, it’s all a bit fiddly to use.

But this may be just the thing to finally kill that stubborn wart on your hand. Our aim is to give the highest possible standard of service. We would like you to tell us what you think about the service we provide at this pharmacy. Left untreated, warts can grow in size and get harder to treat. Untreated warts can also spread to create clusters, spread to other parts of your body (for example, to your feet, where they can grow inwards and become painful verrucas), and spread to other people. So get yourself a good wart remover, and get rid.
