Dr. Scholl'sPlantar Wart Removal System-24 ct.

This item works great. I had unfortunately one planter wart that turned into 5 before I realized I could easily put on bandaids to get rid of them. I didn't understand how this product worked at first so I'll tell you. It basically dries up you skin until layer after layer comes off and the wart is gone. I thought it was gonna be one big wart that falls off. No -its actually just skin with a bunch of black dots so don't wait for a big piece of wart. Just peel it all away as it uncovers. I ran out of the medicated disks because of the quantity of warts I was treating and decided to get Walgreens name brand removal stuff to save money. Bad idea. It didn't work nearly as good. I now have to purchase one more box of Dr. Scholls Clear Away because I have just one more wart to get rid of. The one complaint I have is the comfort pads don't stay on really well. I had to put regular bandaids on top and even those came up when showering. So although I tried to change the disks every 48 hours, I found myself changing them more often.

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 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.

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 tried applying the medication on three warts at the same time. I ran out of medication before my warts were completely removed. Also, the little pad to keep the medication on did not work very well. I had to keep my foot wrapped when I wasn't wearing a sock and had to place my sock on just right to keep it on and even then I would find it in the wrong spot at night. Maybe it would work better if I only had one wart, but I had a tight spacing of three. Also, there is no possibility of it working if your foot gets wet.
