Dr. Scholl’s Verruca Treatment and Wart Remover Pen - Visible Results in 1 Week, Precision Tip for Removal of Warts & Verrucas on Hands & Feet, Suitable for Kids 4+, Easy Use 1-Click Applicator

I had a small but slightly irritating wart on my finger, which I'd had for months and this got rid of it completely. Applied as directed for 4 days, none for 4 days, then twice a day again for 4 more and it fell off. Very pleased. It is painless, but if you accidentally get a spot on healthy skin, as I did, it does hurt, so apply carefully. The pen does make it easy though, to just apply one drop with precision.

My son was struggling with a verruca the size of a 5p coin, it was causing him pain trying to walk on it and we tried other well known brands in a gel form and also tried freezing it off for about 6 weeks with no improvement! I then looked at the reviews for this and thought we would try it. After following the instructions and doing just 4-6 applications, it went! It has completely gone and the relief he feels is great. If it hadn't worked, we would have gone to the doctors next. It's easy to apply. It does the job and I certainly recommend it if you have stubborn verruca's. He actually told me I needed to leave a review for it because he wanted others to know how good it is.

Genuinely so impressed with this product. So easy to use, and worked fast. I have a stubborn verruca between my big and second toe on the sole of my foot and it’s painful to walk on. I’ve tried other products- patches, the white tipex-like substances, nothing touches them. Within one application, this pen made my skin dry up and flake off. The skin on and around my verruca is now completely dry and flaky and easy to peel off- with constancy, the offending thing is nearly gone! I will knock off one star for ease of use- you have to click the pen sooo many times before and liquid comes out, which is noisy and a bit annoying, and then when the liquid finally does come it comes super quickly so I’ve often dripped all over my foot (which you don’t want to get this stuff on healthy skin!) so a bit fiddly but then again, I do have clumsy tendencies. The result speaks for itself. Great value for money and with quite a lot of product per pen, I could get a few more verrucas with this I think (but hoping I won’t have to!!) give it a try!

Fantastic on 4 year olds verruca. It was on the end of his toe and slightly under nail. Applied once a day while he was asleep for 4 days then left the 4 days recommended and it simply peeled off. Amazing. So impressed. Highly recommend.

Used on a cluster of verrucas. Followed the instructions but has not removed all. It is easy to use and the coloured gel helps with the application. Have done a few courses of treatment but some still persist.

I have had a verruca on my foot since I was 7, I'm now 30. We tried everything when I was a child - freezing it, all sorts of treatments but nothing worked. The verruca never got worse or better so I just learned to love with it. However, it has recently became a source of some problems, mostly painful when I walk. I tried this not expecting much. Applied the gel, left it about a week and noticed it was peeling around the area. After some careful removal, the whole thing lifted off my foot. Underneath was a little pink and sore to touch, but I kept a plaster over it to keep it clean and wore socks until it healed. I'm now using the treatment on a second verruca on the other foot.

Didn’t realise at first that what I had on the base of my big toe was a verruca, since it was covered by a thick callus. When it started becoming painful on weightbearing, I finally decided to get rid of it. So, mistaking it for a corn, I used corn removal plasters to remove what I thought was a corn. After 7 days, I was able to take off the hard, thick callus - only to discover this growth underneath and realised it was a verruca!! Due to the poor state of my toe following corn treatment, I had to take a week’s break to let the skin on the toe recover before starting this verruca treatment. Apologies for the appearance of my toe, it was a dry, scaly mess after the corn removal plaster. But the verruca was finally exposed for the treacherous, nasty growth that it was and I could finally nuke it to oblivion. So, on to the important bits. Use the pen TWICE a day for 4 days. If the wart hasn’t gone after 4 days of treatment, take a 4 day break then use the pen again twice daily. You are allowed to do this 4x. Day 1: verruca was flesh coloured with the “seeds” (little blood vessels) clearly visible. Day 3: doesn’t seem to be much happening apart from it drying out a little bit. The little critter is obviously not going to fall off anytime soon. So on to the second course of treatment after a 4-day break. Day 9 (no pic, sorry!): well, the darn thing was still there, but was starting to turn white. There was now a bit of hard skin over the wart. Put a plaster over it for 2 reasons: 1) to contain the acid gel and 2) protect the skin from dirt - you don’t want an infection to develop in there. Day 11: wondered whether the thick callus over the verruca would interfere with the the absorption of the gel. So went to the nhs and johns hopkins websites for guidance on best way to apply treatment. The suggestion was to soak your foot in warm water for 20 mins to soften the skin, then dry the foot and file away the thick callus using an emery board or pumice stone. So I did just that using both an emery board and pumice stone and pretty much filed away until I could see the now-white, cauliflower-looking wart underneath. Take care not to file the healthy skin around the verruca. Then I applied the gel and put a plaster over the area to keep the gel in place, washed the tweezers and pumice stone, and threw away the emery board. The verruca was now a totally white, round structure, almost the circumference of a very small pea. Day 12: verruca still there. All white. Applied gel. Think I had applied the gel on a bit of healthy skin and so was getting this slightly burning sensation on my toe so had to rinse the gel off. Verruca supposed to “fall off” once dead, but still no sign of this happening so taking another 4-day break before starting another course of treatment. Day 17: The top side of the verruca had again accumulated a thick layer of dead skin so I had to soak my foot in lukewarm water for 15-20 mins and file this bit of dead skin away. Washed my hands and foot thoroughly after filing the dead skin: you don’t want bits of skin that may have the virus in it to spread to your hands or other areas of your foot. Anyway, I could then see that the verruca had visibly shrunk and appears to have dried up and turned into this creamy yellow colour (like the colour of a corn/callus). I decided to apply another small dose of the gel, just for good measure, and then stuck another plaster on it. Day 21: I was able to peel off the verruca, but a layer of skin still remained underneath which wasn’t ready to come off. Day 28: finally able to remove the last layer of skin, and found pink healthy skin underneath. Bye bye verruca. Now after reading a lot of medical literature about the verruca falling off when it’s dead, ie it’s just supposed to fall off and leave a hole in your skin, I had the expectation of this happening. But this hasn’t been so in my case. It was more like after each treatment, the wart accumulated a thick layer of dead skin over it which then dries up, so I then had to keep filing this dead skin layer off until I exposed the wart underneath, after which I apply the gel. So, after nearly a month, my verruca was gone. This was the only treatment I decided to go for, after reading the pros and cons of other treatment methods such as cryotherapy, creams, etc. I specifically liked the pinpoint accuracy of the pen + the convenience. One pen lasted me 3 consecutive courses of treatment. So that’s a total of 24 applications. Obviously, it depends on the size of your verruca. Mine was pea-sized, it was by no means huge, but it wasn’t small either. Also, caught my verruca at my local pool since I swim to exercise. So I’ve obviously learnt a hard lesson, never go barefoot at the community pool ever again!

I started using this around 3 weeks ago now to treat a very stubborn wart on my thumb. I've had it for probably over 10 years and NOTHING has worked! I've tried salicylic acid under numerous brand names (bazuka, extra strength, sub zero) and even tried having it frozen off (would not recommend, it's so painful). It's never really bothered me but it is unsightly. I think it was worse because over time it has callused over and the actual wart is very deep in my thumb pad. Unfortunately, because of this I didn't think it was working and had an extremely slow start. The pen also didn't always dispense enough acid and I found myself having to reapply. Now 3 weeks later after 3 full treatment courses and rests I am seeing some progress! It has already started to darken and peel after the second week, and by this point tonight I had filed down the rough skin that had formed and the centre of the wart has mostly peeled away! I'm going to continue to use it until it has fully gone, which in my case might be another month or two yet. I would recommend you give it a try. And be patient with it! It does take a while to dry so set aside 15 minutes to get the best effect. Side note: I won't lie and say it is painless. After I apply it, the first few minutes I can feel quite an intense stinging and burning sensation, then gradually it would ease off as it dries. Although I am treating a sensitive area on my hands. It is a very strong corrosive acid so be weary not to get it onto healthy skin wherever possible! Update no2: for the first time in over 10 years I no longer have a visible wart on my thumb! I've left it for a couple weeks and it doesn't seem to have come back. I am a little cautious about continuing to treat the skin above it as it is healthy but it's pretty much gone 😁 highly recommend if you have stubborn warts that you have tried everything on!
