Wart Freezing
Has anybody tried the over the counter wart freezing kits?
like wartner, dr schools freeze-away, etc…. do any brands youve tried work? ive tried the wartner and another brand and it didnt really get cold enough to do anything, but some people say theyre great
I used Dr. Scholl’s Freeze-Away to remove a couple of skin tags (similar to a raised mole, but narrower at the base). It took 2 treatments, and about 3 days, for them to fall off. They came off cleanly (with no bleeding or open wounds), but there was some minimal scarring to the areas around the skin tags. They were small, and it was really hard to keep the swab-like attachment directly on the tags. My daughter also successfully used the kit to remove a couple of Warts from her hand.
I think the problem is more in people not using the kit correctly, than with it not working. Once you insert the swab into the nozzle, you have to spray enough to let the swab become completely saturated. You should see some of the liquid drip off the tip. You then need to hold the swab directly on the wart/tag long enough to let it become frozen. It does sting quite a bit, but you have to deal with it in order to let the cold penetrate the full depth of the wart/tag. Be prepared to repeat the treatment at least one other time. You also need to be careful about not letting the swab touch the skin surrounding the wart. It will kill that skin as well and can result in scars.
