Give Warts And Verrucas The Cold Shoulder

Advantages: It works
Disadvantages: It's painful

...My daughter is a keen swimmer and had developed verrucas from her visits to the pool. I had been painting another salicylic acid based wart product on her feet on a nightly basis and the verrucas kept on growing instead of shrinking! I also developed a few small warts on my fingers at the same time possibly because of handling my daughters feet and my friend recommended wartner as it had worked for her. What Is Wartner It is a product used to freeze warts and verrucas using dimethyl ether and propane. The liquid nitrogen used by doctors works at a temperature of -196 degrees and Wartner works at -57 degrees but is meant to be just as effective. It freezes the core of the wart or verrucca causing it to fall off within 10 days after which time healthy skin will have formed underneath. Using The Product Adults Insert one...

Whart wart?

Advantages: Tea tree oil! It gets rid of warts
Disadvantages: Takes time, patience and cello-taped hands!

...I happen to suffer from warts on my hands which is most embarrassing; especially since I am a waitress. What is most annoying is that they are in really fiddly places, like in between my fingers, so I can't disguise them with a plaster. A wart is a virus basically and the virus replicates itself so warts are very contagious. I started off with one wart on my hand but from where I have clasped my hands together or rubbed them, they have spread onto my other hand in little clusters. The are raised bumps and have a sort of cauliflower patterning. They don't really hurt, unless I happen to catch them on something. There are loads of types of warts but I am not going to detail them all because if you're interested, you could research it yourself. I want to focus on the main point of my review which is HOW TO REMOVE THE BUGGERS...

Works Quicker Than A Wart Charmer

Advantages: Works fast
Disadvantages: Smells bad

...Warts usually disappear of their own accord, so whatever they are treated with will work. This is why the list of reported cures is so long and bizarre. The local wart charmer never failed unless you stopped going to see him before you were cured. There are many different ways to cure warts according to folklore. Most of them work if you use them long enough because warts usually disappear on their own, even if you don't use a cure. You could steal a dishcloth and hide it inside a tree stump, or even rub the wart with pebbles from a beach, dried beans, or peas and then throw them away. When you throw them away, the wart will go with them. If you tie a knot in a piece of string for each wart that you have, and then bury the string, the string will rot and the warts will go away. Another old wives tale says that if you put vinegar...

Review of Compound W Liquid Wart Remover

A Wart Remover For Wimps!

Advantages: Removes Warts Painlessly
Disadvantages: Quite Expensive, Can Take Several Weeks To Work

...There are few ailments when you are growing up that are a little bit taboo. I remember the Nits doing the rounds at my school and the relief on my Parent's faces when despite it affecting most of my friends myself and my Brother managed to avoid them. However a couple of years later nature got its revenge. No it wasn't the Head Lice that came back with a vengeance it was Warts. They appeared on the hands of several of my friends but seemed to quickly disappear but mine just seemed to spread all around my fingers and thumb. Eventually, with my self esteem at a pretty low ebb my Mother took me off to the Doctors where I was told that I had two choices. The Warts could either be frozen off with liquid Nitrogen or I could cover them in Compound W for the next few weeks. I decided to opt for the latter. So What Is Compound W...

Review of Compound W Liquid Wart Remover

Warts and all . . .

Advantages: Self treatment that is very safe and painless
Disadvantages: Can take many weeks to remove warts - so be patient!

...What are warts? Working in the medical services you come across many ailments....some serious some not serious. You'd be surprised how many people have warts but just hope they go away. Basically Warts refer to hard, dry growths in the skin. They are capable of spreading, but are usually harmless. And come in various shapes and sizes. You get the usual warts on the skin (referred to as plantar warts) and genital warts, all of which are, caused by the ?human papiloma virus? an ancient virus that?s been with us since we descended from the trees. It has recently been known that most forms of cervical cancer involve this virus in one way or another. Slow and steady Compound W is used to treat plantar warts only and must not be used for genital warts. The only other options are to have them frozen off although this is much faster it...

Review of Compound W Liquid Wart Remover

Zap That Wart

Advantages: Removes warts fairly quicker
Disadvantages: Can be a bit messy and does smell close up

...A few years ago I had a few small warts scattered about on the inside of my fingers, so I went off to the chemists to see how I could get rid of them. As a child, my mother would use the sap of a plant she had growing in her garden, that had removed a wart successfully, but she did not live there anymore and now she has flowers instead of vegetables and herbs. Warts are extremely common and usually quite harmless, but they are very unsightly and sometimes irritating. They often appear more thickly on areas such as the knuckles and knees. The chemist recommended Compound W, and in just over a week, 70% of my warts had disappeared. I still have 2 very small ones on the inside of my thumb, but they are really small and flat and do not bother me at all. One of my son's had a huge nasty one on his knee, but we went straight to...

Review of Compound W Liquid Wart Remover

Verruca stay right where you are

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Doesn't work

...Verruca and Wart Remover Little Miss developed a small cluster of verrucas, which I put down to weekly swimming lessons. Undeterred, I decided to try to get rid of them using an over the counter product rather than taking her for doctor's treatment. I bought this and gave it a go? WHAT IS IT? This is apparently a product which is clinically proven to be as effective as the liquid nitrogen method used by doctors. With one treatment, it will freeze the verruca or wart which will fall of in 10-14 days, although there is a warning that verrucas may require additional treatments. Armed with this information, and given that it was verrucas I was treating, I was prepared to treat the offending verrucas several times. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING The product comes in a box with the most important information written on the box...

Nokia N95, the warts and all

Advantages: versatile and looks good
Disadvantages: prone to crashing

...and reduce battery life - over the current spec - so someone needed to make the choice and they did. A keyboard is just a daft suggestion - PDAs are a nearly dead breed - anyone that wants a qwerty keyboard needs to lay their hands on a bluetooth foldable job, or for something tiny, check out the "Freedom Mini" - qwerty, BT and credit card sized. Those who want an even more 'dream' phone than the N95 should take heart from the developments going on with Mobile Linux. This opens the door to more manufacturers and customised developments and will increase competition - and thus tech specs. I'd lay bets on the up and coming economic powerhouses in the Far East (e.g. China etc.) getting into this field and aiming to compete with Nokia. The drawbacks warts and all. I've had first hand experience with my Nokia dealership that just maybe the N95...

Bazuka those warts away!

Advantages: Very effective, easy to use
Disadvantages: A long haul

...My son had acquired a rather ugly looking wart on his finger a few months ago, of which he is not impressed and demanded that I 'get rid of it immediately'. Whilst I explained that a miracle cure is not possible, I trotted off to Tescos to see what they had for such as a problem. I was handed a box which contained a tube of Bazuka gel and trundled back home with it in the hope it worked and put a smile back on my 6 year olds face. ~The product~ The white 5g tube is a lot smaller than I expected and it wasn't exactly cheap either for what I got. It has a long green lid which has a piercer to pierce the top off the tub itself. It is only a couple of inches long and a few millimetres wide so doesn't contain much gel for the cost. The gel itself is clear in colour and quite thick, which is good as it minimises mess and spillage...

Review of Bazuka Gel

Warts and all....

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: see op

...'t worried about STD's - I'd been tested shortly before we got together, and he assured me that he was in the clear, so we went ahead. This relationship lasted for seven months before I finally realised that by being with him I was making a big mistake, and upsetting my family and friends, so I ended it. In September I left for university, and in November last year I got together with the wonderful Nick (one year anniversary on Sat. Oct. 30th!) All was well, I was still on the pill, and incredibly happy, when I received a text message on my phone from my ex in June, saying "By the way, went 2 doctors 2 months ago, got genital warts, might wanna get urself checked out." Obviously, this worried me. A lot. But the first thing I found myself thinking was "Two months ago? Why has he not told me sooner?" I kept things quiet from my boyfriend...
