Scholl Verruca and Wart Remover Freeze Treatment, 80 ml (Pack of 1)

Product Information

Removal can take a couple of weeks or more, but that’s faster than most acid treatments. There’s none of the stinging discomfort you get with a freeze treatment, so it’s much more suitable for children. The main downside is that the stuff comes out of the tube fast when you first open it, so be careful not to get it on healthy skin. If the wart is a really stubborn one, there’s enough solution here for up to 12 applications, although you should only use it a maximum of three times (two weeks apart) on one wart. But it’s unlikely you’ll need to use it more than once. Study results have been mixed on the effectiveness of duct tape in removing warts, either alone or with other therapies. 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. The best wart removers you can buy in 2023 1. Bazuka Sub-Zero: Best wart remover to freeze your wart off in one go

There are some other treatments used by specialists if other treatments have failed. Treatment is not usually available on the NHS to treat warts and verrucas unless there are complications or they are very severe. It is available as a private (paid for) service from many podiatrists.

Within 14 days the verruca should disappear. If it doesn’t fall off in this time, additional application may be needed. Verrucas often go away naturally, especially with children, but this can take time. In children, one in two verrucas will disappear within a year. In adults, it can take several years for a verruca to go away. Freezing. Some liquid nitrogen products are available in nonprescription liquid or spray form (Compound W Freeze Off, Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away, others). Freezing (cryotherapy). Freezing therapy done at a doctor's office involves applying liquid nitrogen to your wart. Freezing works by causing a blister to form under and around your wart. Then, the dead tissue sloughs off within a week or so. This method may also stimulate your immune system to fight viral warts. You'll likely need repeat treatments.

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 treatmentFreezing warts may also be effective. Many GPs and practice nurses are skilled at this. You can also get private treatment with cryotherapy from podiatrists. Liquid nitrogen is commonly used. The nitrogen is sprayed on or applied to the wart. Liquid nitrogen is very cold and the freezing and thawing destroys the wart tissue. To clear the wart fully it can need up to 4-6 treatment sessions, sometimes more. Each treatment session is a couple of weeks or so apart. Dermatologists can freeze small skin cancers such as superficial basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and in-situ squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) on the trunks and limbs, but this is not always successful, so careful follow-up is necessary. What are the contraindications with cryotherapy? If your skin becomes too irritated, decrease how often you use this method to treat your wart. If you're pregnant, talk with your doctor before using an acid solution. Based on the cryotherapy freezing technique used by doctors, Bazuka Sub-Zero freezes the verruca or wart from first application. It’s fast to use, and effective. Start by soaking the verruca or wart in warm water for at least 6 minutes. Next, dry the area using your own towel to avoid spreading infection.
