Product Reviews of Compound W Freeze Off Wart Removal System, 8 ct.
Product Review: Made it worse
Summary: 1 Stars
I used this and was excited to get rid of a few common warts on my hands. After using it several times I noticed no difference, and then I started noticing more warts popping up.
I make serious efforts to wash my hands, not chew my nails or any other behavior that would "spread" my warts. I have had warts for since I was young and watched them come and go. After applying three treatments on two warts over a period of 6 weeks, I had gone from two warts to 5. This treatment makes the wart look like it will die but it comes back and grows what seems faster than before. This is no better than picking off the wart (which also spreads them).
I have had friends try this treatment and they have had bad luck with it as well. This product is a waste of money.
Product Review: May take time, repeated applications but product WORKS
Summary: 5 Stars
Had two warts frozen off by a dermatologist, but it wasn't until I used this product that they went away & NEVER came back. Save appointment-making time and perhaps even a few bucks, and get this product. It make take a few zaps over a period of a few weeks, but eventually, warts will disappear. Follow instructions closely so as not to permanently damage or scar affected area.Product Review: Not effective
Summary: 2 Stars
This thing is not effective as it states. My wart showed no change after using few times.Product Review: Painful but worked GREAT!
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, so, if you do NOT use this product CORRECTLY it will NOT work.
If you are a WUSS and can not stand even a LITTLE PAIN, this product will not work for you.....
I had gotten a wart on my left middle finger RIGHT on the edge of my nail (VERY Difficult area to treat). I had tried the liquid treatments that you brush on, I tried garlic, AND I even went to the doctor (who used a VERY similar kit to this..... and who also did not hold it on long enough, or on the WHOLE wart).....
Needless to say I was fed up with having this darn thing on my finger for over a YEAR!!!!!
I went out and bought this kit. I followed the instructions SOMEWHAT to a T. IT says to wait 2 weeks before repeating treatment... I found that if in a couple of days my finger felt fine and was not sore and did not ache, then I would treat it again.
Also, I kept the tip of the applicator pressed on the wart from 40-50 seconds (10 secs longer then they recommend) .... or pretty much as long as I could take it UP TO 50 seconds..... (It REALLY hurts like heck leaving it on up to 50 secs!)
Here are some tips:
1.) Find a way to shave down the top of the wart... use a nail file, sandpaper, scalpel (my mom is a nurse, therefore I have them on hand)... Get all of the top/dead layers off. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HANDLE THE SHAVINGS THAT YOU CUT OFF! THEY WILL HAVE THE WART VIRUS CONTAINED WITHIN THEM! WASH THEM DOWN THE DRAIN/THROW THEM AWAY ASAP! (Do NOT cut/file TOO far down! if you get too deep you will cause the wart to bleed, and trying to get a wart to stop bleeding is almost impossible! It has it's own little set of blood vessels and does not CLOT! The bleeding may also spread the wart to other areas also!
2.)SOAK the area to be treated in warm water for 5-10 minutes. The longer the better. It saturates the area, and get's it nice and plump with water so that when you actually freeze it the freezing process can travel through the tissue better and get down deeper to the wart.
3.) Even on smaller warts freeze it until you feel some stinging. Meaning, if you leave it on 10-20 secs and you don't feel any pain, leave it on a little longer (NOT over 50 secs!!!!) If you do not feel pain you're really not freezing deep enough to kill the virus!
4.) If you need to treat more then once, do it BEFORE the end of the two week limit they say on the box. What I would do, is in say 3-5 days, if the area was NOT tender anymore, and it did NOT ache or hurt anymore, I'd freeze it again, repeating the steps I listed above. DON'T overdo it however, you could end up REALLY killing off your good skin!
I froze the one on my left middle finger about 3-4 times in a timeframe of about 2 weeks, and I did ALL the above steps I listed. It finally disappeared! A doctor didn't help, the liquid brush on stuff didn't help! JUST this stuff!!!!!!!!
IT WORKS IF YOU DO IT RIGHT!!!!!
Product Review: REALLY WORKS JUST DON'T FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE PACKAGE
Summary: 5 Stars
It worked awesome for me when I over did it. My wart was in the tip of my nose, just like a unicorn. So I had it for 4 years until now.. it's gone :) This is pretty much what I did
For 5 days:
1. Day #1- Exfoliate it until it starts to bleed. Then apply the product for about 2 -2 1/2 minutes. It will sting but it's worth.
2. Day #2- Remove scar tissue (e.g.black crust). It will bleed just a little then apply the product for 3 minutes.
3. Day #3- Do not do it anything to it.
4. Day #4- Remove all the scar tissue. Hopefully by then, it will decrease in size. It will continue to bleed just a few drops. Then apply it for 2 minutes approx.
5. Day #5- It will be just burned skin and scar tissue. Remove it and then you will see the results.
Hope it helps :)
