About this deal

Be careful about using products which contain salicylic acid if you suffer from diabetes or a vascular disease. Ask your GP for advice before you buy any of these products. Duct tape

Again, the studies done on freezing treatment vary considerably in their results. Some seem to show it is more effective than salicylic acid; others show it does not have any convincing benefit. It is certainly more expensive than salicylic acid, however. Therefore many NHS services, such as some GP practices, no longer offer it as an option. This is because salicylic acid is cheaper and the evidence that it works is more convincing. There are freezing treatments available over the counter, which you can apply yourself. However, these cannot provide such a cold freeze as liquid nitrogen. They are probably less effective, although again the results of studies are not totally clear. Combined treatmentWarts are not harmful, but some people find them itchy, painful or embarrassing. Verrucas are more likely to be painful – like standing on a needle. Some people believe that placing duct tape over a wart or verruca helps to get rid of it. There’s no clear explanation as to how this might work. It might be that the tape cuts off the oxygen supply to the wart or verruca. Or, the tape may irritate the skin, encouraging the body’s immune system to fight off the virus.

Depending on the size of the wart or verruca, it can take a few weeks for Scholl Verruca Removal System to work.Once the irritation has died down, reapply the medicated disc making sure not to apply it to the healthy skin surrounding the wart. Allergic reaction If you forget to apply Scholl Verruca Removal System when you should, apply a new one as soon as you remember and continue to use the plasters as normal. Can I use Scholl Verruca Removal System for warts on my hands? Do not throw away medicines via household or water waste, as this can harm the environment. Ask your local pharmacy to dispose any unwanted or expired medicines on your behalf. This is placed over the verruca and left for up to 6 days. Remove the tape and then soak your foot in warm water. Then scrape off any dead ski cells but do this gently. Leave the foot uncovered overnight before applying fresh duct tape the next day. Repeat this process for 1 to 2 months.

Your GP may sometimes refer you to a dermatologist or specialist skin clinic for treatment. This might be if you have large areas of skin affected, warts on your face or a weakened immune system. There are over-the-counter cryotherapy preparations that claim to remove warts and verrucas. These are a type of cryotherapy that you apply yourself at home. You can buy them at a pharmacy. They contain other gases that act to freeze the wart or verruca. However, there is very little evidence to support their use. They can’t freeze at temperatures as low as liquid nitrogen, so they’re unlikely to work as well. Specialist treatments Your dermatologist may suggest various different options for wart removal. These include stronger medications that you either take by mouth, apply to your skin or are injected into the wart. Verrucas often clear up by themselves but treatment is the preferred option if the verruca is embarrassing, painful or causing a great deal of distress. See your GP if your verruca bleeds, has changed size or shape or you have a weakened immune system.Learning swimming and verrucas can go hand in hand with kids and adults alike. These warts on the feet have long been seen as a nuisance. But should parents worry about them? The answer is no. The majority of skin specialists are not in favour of treating verrucas. Many feel that because the virus is so widespread, it’s better to spread it as much as possible and as early as possible in the lives of children. Treatment options include over-the-counter treatments such as creams, gels, skin paints and medicated plasters containing salicylic acid. Cold sprays which can freeze the verruca are another over-the-counter option.
