Curad Mediplast Corn, Callus & Wart Remover, 2 Pads

This is probably the most single amazing medical purchase I have ever made! My 9 yr old daughter had a planters wart on the bottom of her big toe. She is deathly afraid of needs & doctors so I had to find a alternate non-invasive fix. By the time I discovered the wart it was already formed & well established. I am not exaggerating when I say that Curad Mediplast quickly & safely removed her wart in ONE weeks time! Shipping: arrived in a tiny flat envelope barely bigger than the size of a large bandaid so I almost missed it in my mail as I literally mistook it for regular mail! I'm used to padded envelopes or boxes! How awesome that the environment wasn't taken advantage of when shipping this item! Directions/Ease of use: Directions are written on the "bandaid" pkg covering. It did not come in a box. It's written tiny so an older person may have a hard time reading it. I modified the instructions slightly. This is what I did:. 1. clean area (my daughter put it on after she showered, but instructions also say you can clean the wart differently) 2. cut a tiny portion of the "wart bandaid" in a circle to cover the entire wart *but NOT the good skin surrounding the wart).. Note: this comes in a large piece so you need scissors to cut to size needed. It's important you cut it to fit only the size of the wart because there is acid on the portion that touches the wart & I can only imagine that it would take off good skin if it touched it. I easily cut mine in a circle the size of the wart by eyeballing it. Once I had to cut it a bit smaller. I would suggest cutting it slightly bigger until you get the hang of it so that you have the option to cut it smaller, because if you cut it too small from the get go you will have to re-cut a new piece. But again, if you only have 1 wart 1 "bandage" is more than you will need anyway so a bit of waste by mistake will be not big deal. 3. Peel off bandaid backing (having fingernails does help for this part). 4. Place sticky part of Curad Mediplast circle that you cut on to the wart 5. Put a normal bandaid over it (optional if you use athletic tape). Depending on location of the wart you can use one or the other to ensure it stays on. 6. wrap athletic tape over it all to prevent it from falling off. Note: this was only necessary because it was on the bottom of her big toe & I was worried the Curad Mediplast would fall off when taking on/off her shoes, when she swam, etc. 7. Take off Curad Mediplast every 48 hours. Repeat Steps 1-6 until one day when you take off the Curad Mediplast that it takes off the entire wart with it. In my daughter's case the black dots of the wart & the calloused portion of the wart came off in a partial piece. However, at that same moment we decided to add another piece and the 2nd piece took it off immediately via the adhesive. The skin where her wort was looks as though a few layers of skin were taken off in a circular pattern, but her skin seems to be growing back nicely a month later. We only put this on her about 3 or 4 times over the course of a week (it fell off after going to the beach one day so we reapplied sooner than 48 hours once. It has been about a month since her wart was gone from using this product & I have not seen it return! Summary: I cannot recommend this product enough! It's easy enough for my 9 year old to do completely by herself & it actually works! She swam about 3 times during the course of that week & this product was still effective! Gone ore the days of liquid compound W (which I had trouble with in my childhood) Note: I only used only about 1/5th of one "wart bandaid"..unless you have tons of warts you do not need to order multiple pkgs. I still have 1 full Curad Mediplast bandaid, plus 4/5ths of the one I used (mine came in a pack of two).

Exactly as advertised! Working well

I had a stubborn wart for 11 years that just won't go away. In the process I have tried many different methods to try and get rid of it, and this is so far the best. For these pads, you just cut out a piece the exact size you want from the very generously sized pads, and it sticks to your wart like the sticky part on a band aid. I usually covered mine up with a real band aid on top to keep it from moving around because I cut mine very small to just cover the wart. I've tried using the liquid wart remover like Compound W which is not only messy, but because you "paint" it on your wart which I would often miss and paint outside the wart and burn off parts of my skin that way. That method is also more painful as you get into deeper parts of the wart. Once the main part had come off but the roots were still left, painting on new layers of the wart remover were incredibly painful. I never experienced that with these pads. I saw one customer noted that these take a long time to work. That's just the way all wart removers work. These are no slower than other methods that I have tried.

I purchased this nearly a month ago and tried using it for 2 weeks as my doctor instructed. I've used 40% salicylic acid patches from the grocery store before and they worked wonders, but these were the brand my doctor recommended. I was excited to have a big patch to cut from as needed. I made sure to size mine perfectly, place it onto the affected area, and put tape over it to keep it in place. 40% SA is supposed to soften the skin and it should turn white. I was replacing these patches religiously and noticing ZERO soft/white skin. Of course the refund/replacement policy is limited so I had to go through customer service to get a replacement pack. I used them for 2 days and again NOTHING happened. My pain is even worse than it was when I started because at least the grocery store patches were working before. I was only using these because my doctor suggested it and now I don't know what to do... Anyway, I'm sure these patches work wonders if you get a good batch. But the TWO sets I got have zero active ingredients in them at all. I'm so disappointed.

A small wart, treated (painfully) by a dermatologist came right back. For over 1 year, I tried every type of Compound W. They were messy and didn’t work. This pad can be cut any size. The adhesive could be stronger, but easily solved by putting a band aid over it. The percentage of salicylic acid on the pad is much higher (40%) than Compound W’s 17%.

This worked ! Without pain of freezing like going to the dermatologist.

Thank you, this product is amazing! I had a stubborn wart for months, nothing worked to get rid of it & it was so painful to walk! So easy to use & I was amazed how quickly it worked! This item was recommended & it worked right away! Would definitely order again!

I think this "could" be a great product, I just haven't had success yet. My wart is on my finger and whether it is the curve of my fingertip or the oil in my skin, the product didn't stay put. I think it was on for about 15 minutes. I'll give it another try.

Just didn't work on any family member.

Love it! Removed my 7 year old painful corn within 7 days. Great product.
