Compound W Maximum Strength One Step Invisible Wart Remover Strips, 14 Count

Update: It worked! New photo is added of fully healed thumb. Again, no discomfort whatsoever. The area is still slightly discolored, but other than that I have a smooth wart free thumb for the first time in years!! Yay!!!! I have had a small wart on my dominant thumb for the past several years. Although it is small, it’s location has made things difficult (particularly writing, which is terrible for a college student) as it has always been very sensitive and occasionally painful. I’ve tried freezing it, soaking it, using oils, even tried to just cut it out (not my finest moment) but nothing worked. I ordered compound W clear strips same day delivery on August 17th. The first photo is August 18th. I forgot to take photos after that. To be honest I wasn’t convinced it was actually going to make it come off as the wart and the skin around it was tough and white after two days but nothing changed after that. Then last night, August 25th, the skin had literally just lifted off of my thumb and the wart with it. The area is slightly sensitive post removal but throughout the entire process there has been no pain or discomfort whatsoever. There is still a small ring on my thumb that was the base of the wart, along with what look like some patches in the center, so I will be covering the area with a regular bandaid today for protection and to let the good skin heal a little before I start using compound W to remove the rest tomorrow. I will say that unlike advertised, these strips are not waterproof. The surface getting wet is fine but if water reaches the adhesive it will come off. That wasn’t a big problem for me as I would typically take it off before I showered (if I didn’t I wore a glove) and I was careful when washing my hands. Also, let the strip tell you when it’s ready to come off, not the other way around. I tried to remove it prematurely one time and discovered that the adhesive and salicylic acid patch are pretty powerful and will not come off on any schedule other than their own. Once it is ready to come off though, replace it. Don’t wait until the 48 hours if it’s ready to come off before then. I only think one of mine made it that long, and for the rest I replaced them anywhere between 20 and 36 hours of use. Again, you’re on the strips schedule not the other way around. Overall I am HIGHLY satisfied with this product. It takes patience, mine came off in 8 days but for others it may take several weeks. But no matter the timeframe, this product does what it says it will do. I will be updating whenever the rest of the base skin has come off and then healed over, but as of right now, 5 stars and I would highly recommend to anyone with a stubborn wart!!

I bought these bandaid ones, by mistake. So I bought the "drop free fast acting gel" version the day the bandaids came. But I did get a head start on my wart by using these bandaids. These are a very good product and seem to work. The gel version came within 2 days so I didn't finish with the bandaids, but they were working. The purpose I wanted this wart remover is for a GW wart on my groin. (I know it's recommended to go to a professional, which I have many many many years ago, but they basically do the same thing these do... Trust me I know). So when these bandaids came, I opened on up and tried to scrape some of the medication off the bandaid and apply it directly to myself (shaft btw, just 1 the size half a #2 pencil eraser). The medication is not liquid. It's more like a sticky gooey sponge. So taking a small amount of was nearly impossible. However I did finally apply some. There is no pain at all, which surprised me. So I left that stuff stick to me for the whole day. I didn't wrap it or anything, just in there going about my day as normal and it hung on. The next day, I showered and applied it again from a new bandage. Fairly quick, like the 2nd day or so, I noticed the wart was turning black.. which is good. You want to kill it. By this time, the gel version came, and apply the gel was way easier for my case use. The bandaid would be good for any other wart in any other location, but I need the gel. It's all still the same medication ingredients. In total, the wart was gone within 4 or 5 days. It may have been sooner, had I started with the gel and had the full coverage I could get by taking apart the bandaid. After I was done with using any of the wart remover, what's left is a burn. Basically a rug burn. So I applied this stuff called "Aquaphor healing ointment Advanced Therapy". Doing my research (chatGPT), this Aquaphor is best because of the healing ingredients and stuff. The 2nd best is regular Vaseline. Which I had to look up because I forgot to bring the Aquaphor to work one day and had to go by Vaseline. Either or, you apply the ointment not too thick and not too thin. I would just keep applying every 4-8 hours or so. (Now remember, my case is different being in the location it was in, so I could really wrap it and stuff. Which I was okay with, because I wasn't doing anything to get it dirty. Plus it was just a minor rug burn. Very tiny area.

I had little faith that this product would work. I’ve tried the liquid Compound W with no positive result. I started applying this product on a wart located on my right forearm. I changed the bandaid every two days, and less than a month later, the wart was gone. This was a medium-sized wart.

These work fairly well but the circle with the wart treatment is large - so if you have a small wart, the skin around it is also affected which wasn't great. The band-aid part of it also doesn't stick well, so we would have to get coban to wrap loosely around it to get it to stay.

I’ve read that warts will usually disappear on their own in about two years. Mine showed no signs of taking a hike, in fact, it was getting bigger and painful. I decided it was time to take action. Out of the three wart removers I tried, the Compound W Gel, .25 oz was the most effective. Good: • Easy • Convenient • Wart Covered The medicated band-aid style strip is very easy to put on. Simply line up the wart with the middle of the pad and apply like a bandage. For me this was a little more difficult with the wart on the side of my middle finger. This is a very convenient treatment method. Stick it and forget it for two days. In addition, I like that these cover the wart so it’s not visible during treatment. Bad: • Treatment Area • Absorbed Water • Annoying • Mild Pain / Irritation • Short Term Effectiveness The treatment area is a fixed size. I had a small wart and ended up treating the skin around the wart as well. Packaging states the strips are water proof. However, any gap will allow water to soak the strip. After two days of wear the bandage practically fell off. After a few days the treated area became rather sore and painful. More so than with other products. After I used all the strips, the wart returned a month later. With a vengeance I might add. Although these will work for some, they weren’t great for me. Over all it was just an annoying product to use. I had to be careful while washing my hands and showering.

These work great I had two on my finger one was massive and disgusting. about a week and half later and they both just fell off. whole thing was pain free and oddly satisfying. You have to follow the directions if you want it to work and be patient.

I never write reviews but these finally conquered my 3 year battle with my son’s warts. It started as 1 and turned into 9, on his knee shin and arm. These take time and consistency, I gave up after 10 weeks of replacing bandaids every 2 days and not seeing results. But when I stopped they started shrinking on its own. After a month they are completely gone! If they are swollen and white that means they’re working, I thought they were just growing but once the bandaid treatment stops, the wart will go away. He has tan lines from the bajilion bandaids he went through lol

I got my warts professionally removed and they came back in like a week but these worked and havent had them for about 3 years now!!

didn’t work and this isn’t cheap

Very good product. It’s working

I used only 2 strips, 1st one I remove within 24 hours and 2nd I used more than 30 hours recommend to use 48 hours per strips It's really worth to buy this product but I contains 14 strips to I keep remaining 12 strips with no use thats only I feel I am having if they sold 5 pcs with low cost will be more useful to all

Not work

Very effective
