Product Reviews of Compound W Freeze Off Wart Removal System, 8 ct.
Product Review: Applicators are not practical at all!
Summary: 1 Stars
I've tried both this and the Dr. Scholls Freeze Away. Do not buy this product. The applicators are these massive sponge tipped things and unless your wart is the size of a small country there is no way to miss the surrounding skin. I highly recommend going with Dr. Scholls as the tips are very precise and you can even cut them down if you need to. Not so with this product. I couldn't even use it and had to throw them out.Product Review: Better than Doctor's Office Freeze
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm pretty sure I've had this wart for over 10 years now. I've had others when I was younger, but never one as persistent (or deep) as this one. It's like a plantar wart, but on the palm side of my index finger, so abuse keeps it from growing above the skin. When my hands get dry, it might grow and split a bit, at which point I'd norrmally trim it back, and maybe use a band-aid to keep it from drying out futher.
About 4 years ago I went to a dermatologist that said it could take 10 or more tries to remove the plantar-style wart on my index finger, palm side, on the finger-tip side of the last joint. I think I went in for three treatments and after each painful treatment (for a $50 co-pay each time) the wart bumps were still visible under the skin that was removed. I figured this was a total racket and I didn't like the dermatologist. The wart seemed to simply flatten and widen. I thought the direct spray liquid Nitrogen hurt like heck too. Maybe that was the problem. The liquid Nitrogen spray wouldn't stay on long enough to do the deep damage.
The wart came back in the recent weeks, really rising above the skin for the first time since my trips to the doctor. Interestingly this time, it wasn't dry and carcking as it normally did. The wart appeared to really be growing. It was no doubt time to do something. I believe that these freeze-off products came since I had gone to the doctor, and thought it was worth the $20 to give it a shot. I also picked up some of the Dr. Scholl's 40% Salicylic Acid band-aids too (seeing that their concentration is more than the liquid 17%).
After using the freeze-off, and the 40% salicylic acid band-aids, I could not be more pleased!
I never received these type of results from the doctor's office. Of course I hadn't used the 40% salicylic acid band-aids in conjunction either. I believe the majority of the skin-killing is being done with the freeze off though. I could be wrong.
I used a double-application of the freeze-off the first time around, leaving the padded applicator on the wart and sourounding areas until there was no more nitrogen in the pad. I went with the plantar-wart 40-seconds, or more. I kept rotaing the pad to get the coldest part of the pad on the finger. The pain came when the area defrosted. It hurt like heck, but was totally worth it. Aside from the healing skin, it really looks like I've killed the wart with the first application (in 8 days). The last two days I didn't use the band-aids to let the area come back to normal before the second treatment. It was still a little soar, but I just did the second application. Even if the wart is not completely gone, this product will stay in my wart-arsenal.
At $20, it's a no-brainer.
If it comes back, I'll maybe add the Cider Vinegar to the arsenal, but I assume the cider acid is just something similar to the Salicylic acid I'm already using, and the Dr. Scholl's band-aids have a nice water proof seal and strong clear tape that makes me look less like a wart-patient (so I can wear it all day long, unlike a cider-filled cottonball).
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELPFUL REVIEWS! I'm excited to be wart free!

had a wart on my face. it suggests no to use on the face i was very careful. had to freeze it twice in three days. came off the next day. no scar. also used it on a skin tag i have on my neck took a little longer to fall off but both are gone thought stuff was great and saves a trip to the dr.Product Review: Didn't work for me, either
Summary: 1 Stars
Like the other reviewer, this product failed for me, too. And the finger I was treating developed a second wart. I'm back to the brush-on liquid type of treatment. I don't recommend this product at all.Product Review: Does not Work
Summary: 1 Stars
Quite simply this product does not work. Despite following the directions, I could barely feel a chill when the applicator was pressed against the skin. Not even the top layer of skin was destroyed.
