Scholl Verruca Removal System 15 Plasters

Product Information

Try not to get the acid on the skin next to the wart, as it may become irritated. You can protect the nearby skin by putting some Vaseline® on the normal skin beforehand, or by putting on a plaster with a hole in it which just exposes the wart for treatment. Treatment options include over-the-counter treatments such as creams, gels, skin paints and medicated plasters containing salicylic acid. Cold sprays which can freeze the verruca are another over-the-counter option.

If the surrounding skin does become sore, stop the treatment for a few days until it settles. Then re-start treatment. There is also a small risk that you may get a skin allergy to the treatment. If this occurs, the surrounding skin becomes red and itchy. This is found in many over the counter remedies such as gels, creams and plasters. It is effective at treating verrucas but it can destroy healthy tissue as well as the infected area. So protect the areas of skin surrounding the verruca with a barrier cream or corn plaster. If you have diabetes or poor circulation, you should use salicylic acid only on the advice of a doctor. Freezing treatment can be painful. Sometimes a small blister develops for a day or so on the nearby skin after treatment. Also, there is a slight risk of scarring the nearby skin or nail or damaging underlying tissues such as tendons or nerves. It is not suitable for younger children or for people with poor circulation.

Side effects For genital warts, using a condom reduces the risk of transmission, but doesn't provide 100% protection as the virus may be on a part of the skin not covered by the condom.

Irritation of the skin may occur if the medicated discs are applied to healthy skin. Should this occur, temporarily stop using Scholl Verruca Removal System until the irritation subsides. Duct tape (available online or from DIY shops) - while there is not a lot of evidence to support the use of using duct tape on its own, it might still be well worth trying, especially in children. The wart/s should be covered with duct tape for six days; if the tape falls off it should be replaced with a fresh piece. The tape should then be removed and the affected area soaked in luke-warm water and the wart pared down to remove any dead skin cells. The wart should then be left uncovered overnight and the duct tape reapplied once again in the morning. This process can be continued for up to two months. Duct tape might be more effective if a salicylic acid paint or gel is first applied to the wart before then covering in duct tape If you have a wart or verruca, taking the following measures may help to stop it spreading to other people. Once the irritation has died down, reapply the medicated disc making sure not to apply it to the healthy skin surrounding the wart. Allergic reaction Warts on the soles of the feet are called verrucas. They’re quite common, as nearly one in three children or young people have them. They may be painful, but usually aren't harmful and generally clear up on their own.
