Wart Remover FAQ

Q: What are warts and what can I do about them?

Warts are small growths on the skin that are caused by a virus. They can spread on the body and from person to person which is why it is imperative to take action quickly. Treatment options include having the wart frozen, burnt, or cut off, though these treatments are best saved as a last resort since they damage the skin and often cause scarring. Natural topical solutions with 17% Salicylic Acid or antimicrobial essential oils can help the body to kill the wart-causing virus and remove this growth. We recommend finding a wart ointment with both Salicylic Acid and antimicrobial essential oils such as Tea Tree, Frankincense, and Oregano Oils. For the best results, wash or soak the wart for a few minutes and file away dead skin before applying the treatment ointment.

Q: Do all wart-removing products work?

Unfortunately, no. Many companies don’t care about their customers and manufacture inferior products with the wrong ingredients and proportions. However, it's important to remember that it can take time for wart removers to eliminate the warts, so just because a product doesn’t give you immediate results doesn’t mean it’s not working.

Q: What should I look for?

• It should contain 17% Salicylic Acid to exfoliate and encourage immune response at the site of the wart.
• It should contain antimicrobial essential oils such as Tea Tree Oil, Frankincense, and Oregano Oil.
• It should contain Citrus Oil which provides antioxidant benefits, supports healing, and helps to fight inflammation.
• It must be easy to apply so as to protect healthy skin.
• It must be safe for long term use as warts can take a while to heal.
• It must be 100% pure with no added ingredients that might water down the product.

Q: What about safety? Are there side effects to watch out for?

From our research, we did not find any interference between most wart removers and other medications or conditions. However, you should always read the label on the bottles and consult with a physician if you have a medical condition or take medications on a regular basis.

Q: How do I use a topical wart remover?

First, wash or soak the wart(s) for a few minutes. We also suggest filing away dead skin before proceeding. Then, dry the affected area. Last, apply the wart remover serum directly to the wart(s). Repeat 1-2 times a day.

Q: How long will it take to see the effects?

Some customers we spoke to reported experiencing results within the first couple weeks while for others it took longer. Factors like wart size and immune health will both affect how long the product takes to work. We recommend buying a product that is backed with a satisfaction guarantee in case you are later unsatisfied with the results.

Q: How much do wart removers cost?

The cost of wart removers varies based on the manufacturer. Many of them are worthless, just random companies with cheap quality products trying to cash in on unsuspecting consumers. Some of these companies sell their wart removers for close to $100 per bottle, which we think is a bit too high. Most of the really good products we tested fell in the $40-$50 range.
