"I had a wart on my middle finger and was prescribed the same medication. After about 2 weeks, I started shaving the wart down. It was removed, and the area healed nicely, but now, after about a year, the wart is returning. I am going to use this treatment again before returning to the derm."

"So I have had this wart on my thumb near my nail for about a year now. Finally, I went to the derm, and she told me it was a periungual wart. I was told to use this cream overnight with a Band-Aid until it was gone. It has been over a month and still no progress. It still is growing and still looks the same as it did. Advice is welcome. I have a bigger one on my left thumb and a smaller one on my right."

"Since 2011, I have been struggling with plantar warts on my feet that no doctor has been able to eliminate. I have undergone various treatments, including laser surgery, injections, and acid, but they proved ineffective. Recently, a dermatologist prescribed a 5% compound paste and froze them in the office while instructing me to apply it at home every night and cover them with duct tape until I couldn't bear it anymore. Despite the discomfort, I persevered and applied the treatment for four months, and the warts have nearly vanished. I intend to continue the treatment even if they disappear because they might return quickly. Additionally, I get monthly B12 injections at an IV drip bar, and I believe no pain, no gain. The acid is very aggressive, and I order it online with a prescription. Furthermore, it can burn your hands, so you must use gloves. In conclusion, the treatment works, and I am pleased with the results."
