Does the Dr. Scholl's freeze away wart remover...?

Question

Does the Dr. Scholl's freeze away wart remover work? I've been hearing a lot of things that it does not work.

I have a plantar wart. :/

Answer 1

I also have a plantar wart.  It's on the bottom of my foot and I thought it was glass to begin with.  I went to the doctor and he told me to get this medicine.  It's $540 for 24 days.  He said it takes at least 3 months. That's almost $2000.  My sister had them when she was younger and she soaked a cotton ball in Apple Cider Vinegar, she put it on her wart before bed and taped it to her foot.  After about 2 weeks she was able to pull it right out of her foot because it was dead.  I'm not as patient as she is, plus the vinegar stinks up my room, so I only did it for about 5 days and it is hard to tell what's happening.  The freeze away stuff makes sense except for, if you've had a plantar wart, you know they ******* hurt.  The freeze stuff has a little foam top and in order to freeze the wart, you have to push really hard on the wart.  I have the freeze at my house but and worried about using it.

I also hear that putting a little square of duct tape overtop the wart for a few days suffocates it and it dies.  I've yet to try that.

Good luck.
