Product Reviews of PediFix Wart STICK
Product Review: Dangerous stuff! Only use on BIG warts!
Summary: 4 Stars
I wrote a mostly decent review for this product about 4 days ago, but for the sake of people who might be reading it, I MUST edit it. For some reason, though, I can't edit the stars.
This stuff is WICKED. Unless you have a wart that is equally wicked (meaning, huge and stubborn) DON'T USE THIS PRODUCT. It's 40% salicylic acid in a waxy base. This makes for a very dangerous combination, as the acid is more than capable of burning off perfectly good skin and the wax holds it in place as it does it. My desperation to have the tiny warts on my hands gone superceded my biochemical knowledge, and I put on a little bit more than the directed "thin layer." Now, I am nursing first degree burns wherever I put on the product.
If you have a monster of a wart, this stuff will rip right through it. It will do the same to your skin, though, so be very, very careful. I went to my doctor, and he prescribed Aldara cream. It's much easier on my skin.
Product Review: Definitely works
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a very obvious wart on my upper left arm for the past five or six years. I was self-conscious, and it often became irritated and red, making it even more embarassing. I had a few other warts on my hands, as well. I chose this product because it had the highest amount of salicylic acid I could find. Within one week, literally, the embarassing, fairly large wart was completely gone. I actually had more problems with the adhesive from the bandages I bought than from the chemicals in this, and there's no scar or sensitivity. I keep looking at my arm and smiling. Right now, I'm treating the warts on my hands, and I'm very satisfied.Product Review: Did I get a Dud or are these other reviews fake?
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this because of all the great reviews and I should have been putting chapstick on my wart for all the results it got me. I put this stuff on and would change the bandaid each day, after few days nothing. When I have used wart products in the past a few day in the skin is always white and eventually starts to gewp off. So either I got a dud too or those other reviews are fakes. This stuff did absolutely nothing.Product Review: Does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
I just started using this, so maybe I should have waited a little longer, but here it goes. I think that for plantar warts, the best thing that works are the Dr. Scholl callus pads, however, they are expensive, and you have to keep them on for 48 hours, which is hard when you shower everyday, and it is located on your foot. The nice thing about the stick is that you can replace the bandage, or whatever you use, everyday. I tested out a spot on my foot without a bandage to keep the wax in place, and I still noticed something, so the people who said they might as well have been rubbing chapstick on their skin clearly did just get a dud. I ordered two sticks just in case that happened. The bottom line is, warts are stubborn, nasty little bastards, and no matter what you use to get rid of them, you have to be relentlessly consistent. This stuff is not going to make your wart go away overnight, but it definitely works, it doesn't smell at all, it's very easy to use, and the price is good.Product Review: Finally... something that WORKS!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
