 Works great - Here are some tips for isolating the wart and medication. Nov 04, 2009
By Magpookie
OK, this stuff works great because it's very strong. I had a wart on my hands that was there for YEARS and not it's gone. I even had my doctor freeze it twice and it still didn't go away. This stuff got rid of it in about 15 days.
HERE'S THE TIP:
The key is to isolate the wart so the medication doesn't affect the good skin. This is especially important for small warts.
Tip #1: Take a large plastic bandage (not fabric), and cut off the two sticky sides and throw away the padded portion in the middle. Take one of the sticky sides (save the other one for later) and with the backing still on it and fold it into four (half and half again). Now cut the center corner off to make a small hole in the middle - you want the hole just a tiny bit bigger than the wart. Then unfold it, take the backing off, and apply it on your wart with the wart sticking out of the hole. Now you can apply a big glob of the Wart Stick medication and you wont have to worry about it killing the surrounding good skin. Apply an second full bandage on top of the medication and you're good to go.
Tip #2: Make sure you apply the medication after a shower when the skin is soft and more penetrable.
Tip#3: If you have a stubborn wart, do it in intervals. Apply the medication for 2-3 days, then leave it uncovered and unmedicated for a day or two so it can harden and peel off. Then repeat. My stubborn wart took three rounds but with some patience, it did finally go away.

The best wart remover I have ever used Jan 28, 2008
By K. Doughty
"Kathy in S.B."
I am so happy I found this product! It just works!
I was horrified when I found not one but two plantars warts on my 7-year-old's feet. I'd had such warts myself in the past, and removing them was a painful and not always successful experience. I saw this Wart Stick, was impressed by the 40% as opposed to usual 15% active ingredient, and thought that the wax base might keep the medicine in contact with the wart longer (an issue with an active kid!). Over the course of a few weeks I rubbed the stick onto my daughter's warts, and occasionally used an emery board to take down the surrounding callous and dead wart off the top (which was a painless experience for my very sensitive girl, hurray). The first wart fell off her foot last week, and the second is about to break off. They just dry up, darken, and fall off! What a relief! I'm always having some of this on hand. No pain, no smell, no mess, and the warts just go away. What more could you ask? I'm a very happy customer.

WART STICK Aug 09, 2007
By CUCHO
This thing is better than the fluid wart removers because:
1.The wax base makes it easier to place EXACTLY.
2.The acid is 45% rather than the usual 15%.
I rub some wax on a band aid, then put the band aid just where I want it. I seal the band aid with waterproof adhesive tape and wear it for a few days.
Maybe the stronger acid will act in an evil way, so PAY ATTENTION.

Finally... something that WORKS! May 27, 2008
By A. N. Stanford
I've had a single wart on the back of my hand for years & I had no problem w/ it until I moved; apparently, some warts can get worse (i.e. spread or become larger) when moving to a different environment. I went from one wart to about 16 warts in a various of sizes. I was skeptical about this product but I saw the reviews & proceeded down to my local Walgreens to purchase. After 2 days of using WartStick my warts had a dramatic improvement! Now, a week later my warts are not protruding; only evidence I have that I had warts are tiny blemishes & I'm sure those will go away. I'm ecstatic about this product and will continue using it for years to come (because I know they'll probably come back.) Oh, by the way, it was not messy, painful and didn't turn white like those liquids such as Compound W & also quicker. Highly recommended!
UPDATE: 04/2011: Its been three years since I have used the Wart STICK and its still sitting up in my cabinet. Why you ask? Because I haven't had to use it. They have not come back! The blemishes are gone as well. You can't even tell I had warts on my hand!

This stuff REALLY works! Sep 26, 2008
By Amanda
I had a stubborn wart on my finger, and I tried everything to make it go away. I tried Compound W Wart Remover bandages, and though I thought my wart was completely removed, it returned a few weeks later. I found this product upon searching for wart remover, and I was desperate, so I just went ahead and tried it.
Because it is a stick solid, it is easy to apply exactly where it is needed, instead of using a bandage with a pre-applied remover compound. It took only a few weeks for my wart to be completely deadened, and now you can't even tell that I used to have a terrible wart on my thumb. This product is great!!!!
