Salicylic acid topical "Compound W caused second-degree burns on my knuckles where I applied a few drops on warts. Could not get Compound W off my skin. It acts like a super glue. After a few days, scraped the white product off, which caused sores. Applying Neosporin to heal the sores. No warning on product box or tube to warn about the super glue effect. Will not use this dangerous product again."

Salicylic acid topical "I had 2 warts on my knuckles. The Compound W gel 'burned' the skin, then hardened to a white patch. The directions said to apply twice a day, but I was unsure because the white patch, almost like a scab, lasted 2 days. When it fell off, I tried again for another 3 days. By then the skin where the warts had been was red and scabby. I am not sure if all the wart is gone, and don't know if I should continue."

Salicylic acid topical "I used the wart remover pads, which I purchased at the local drug store. Within 3 hours of applying, I had a high fever. Then my leg swelled and turned red. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital. Within a few days, my skin started blistering, leaking fluid, and it swelled so much that my leg was sliced open on both sides to stop the swelling, my toes were sliced open, as well as the top of my foot. It's been 5 months of living nightmare."

Salicylic acid topical "I gently painted numerous warts on my chest with Wart Magic for two days. It seemed to take ages to dry and spread. When I dressed, I developed an extremely violent allergic reaction. It spread far and wide. My ears rang. Hearing is reduced. The worst is that my entire chest went blood red, was, and still is hot and moist. At times, I was not aware of any irritation beyond that, but all of a sudden, I became so itchy I wanted to tear my skin to pieces. I stopped using it completely and consulted a pharmacist's nurse. She prescribed Allergex. I have taken 2 tablets so far, twelve hours apart. My skin has not yet improved. A tiny wart on the back of my hand did come out, although the surrounding skin is extremely itchy. The other warts are worse than ever. I will need to have them professionally burnt off. I will never use Wart Magic again. One semi-dried wart came off an hour after applying."

"I have been using salicylic acid to remove warts on my feet for well over 2 years. I have used the liquid, messy gel, messy pad, awkward patches, and freeze spray. I still have warts on my feet. Doctors recommended Bazuka products and 6 months of Daktakort cream. Still have painful warts. Salicylic acid is the only treatment recommended."

Salicylic acid topical "My wart was on my forehead. It was big. When I started to use Duofilm, it got sore and blood started to flow like tap water. I was very much afraid but continued to use it, and now my wart has gone."

"Tinamed is the best over-the-counter medicine I have found for my kids' warts. Within months, they were gone and never came back."
