Scholl Verruca & Wart Removal Pen - TCA-Active, Clinically Proven Wart and Verruca Remover, Complete Treatment, Easy Targeted Application, 1 Pack

I don't usually do reviews, but this product really deserves it. I had a verruca in my heel for around 5 years or more. Tried to get rid of it multiple times with no success. With this pen the recommended appliance is 4 days, 2 times a day, I did it for only 3 days because the acid was quite strong and it was hurting me quite a bit. But after a week and half the scab formed by the pen finally dropped and voila no verruca anymore :D

It works! Does exactly what it says on the tin. Had been treating my daughters stubborn verucca with Bazucca for 3 months with no improvement. Started using this and it was successful after two rounds of treatment. I can’t believe how the verucca just popped off in my hand with no pain! A little pricy but worth it to get rid of those pesky veruccas!

I got this as I has 2 verrucas and it did get rid of them. it did hurt while I used it and I had to use blister patches to walk on my foot. it was very effective but be careful with how much you use as it strong.

Didn’t realise at first that what I had on the base of my big toe was a verruca, since it was covered by a thick callus. When it started becoming painful on weightbearing, I finally decided to get rid of it.So, mistaking it for a corn, I used corn removal plasters to remove what I thought was a corn. After 7 days, I was able to take off the hard, thick callus - only to discover this growth underneath and realised it was a verruca!!Due to the poor state of my toe following corn treatment, I had to take a week’s break to let the skin on the toe recover before starting this verruca treatment. Apologies for the appearance of my toe, it was a dry, scaly mess after the corn removal plaster. But the verruca was finally exposed for the treacherous, nasty growth that it was and I could finally nuke it to oblivion. So, on to the important bits. Use the pen TWICE a day for 4 days. If the wart hasn’t gone after 4 days of treatment, take a 4 day break then use the pen again twice daily. You are allowed to do this 4x.Day 1: verruca was flesh coloured with the “seeds” (little blood vessels) clearly visible.Day 3: doesn’t seem to be much happening apart from it drying out a little bit. The little critter is obviously not going to fall off anytime soon. So on to the second course of treatment after a 4-day break.Day 9 (no pic, sorry!): well, the darn thing was still there, but was starting to turn white. There was now a bit of hard skin over the wart. Put a plaster over it for 2 reasons: 1) to contain the acid gel and 2) protect the skin from dirt - you don’t want an infection to develop in there.Day 11: wondered whether the thick callus over the verruca would interfere with the the absorption of the gel. So went to the nhs and johns hopkins websites for guidance on best way to apply treatment. The suggestion was to soak your foot in warm water for 20 mins to soften the skin, then dry the foot and file away the thick callus using an emery board or pumice stone. So I did just that using both an emery board and pumice stone and pretty much filed away until I could see the now-white, cauliflower-looking wart underneath. Take care not to file the healthy skin around the verruca. Then I applied the gel and put a plaster over the area to keep the gel in place, washed the tweezers and pumice stone, and threw away the emery board. The verruca was now a totally white, round structure, almost the circumference of a very small pea.Day 12: verruca still there. All white. Applied gel. Think I had applied the gel on a bit of healthy skin and so was getting this slightly burning sensation on my toe so had to rinse the gel off. Verruca supposed to “fall off” once dead, but still no sign of this happening so taking another 4-day break before starting another course of treatment.Day 17: The top side of the verruca had again accumulated a thick layer of dead skin so I had to soak my foot in lukewarm water for 15-20 mins and file this bit of dead skin away. Washed my hands and foot thoroughly after filing the dead skin: you don’t want bits of skin that may have the virus in it to spread to your hands or other areas of your foot. Anyway, I could then see that the verruca had visibly shrunk and appears to have dried up and turned into this creamy yellow colour (like the colour of a corn/callus). I decided to apply another small dose of the gel, just for good measure, and then stuck another plaster on it.Day 21: I was able to peel off the verruca, but a layer of skin still remained underneath which wasn’t ready to come off.Day 28: finally able to remove the last layer of skin, and found pink healthy skin underneath. Bye bye verruca.Now after reading a lot of medical literature about the verruca falling off when it’s dead, ie it’s just supposed to fall off and leave a hole in your skin, I had the expectation of this happening. But this hasn’t been so in my case. It was more like after each treatment, the wart accumulated a thick layer of dead skin over it which then dries up, so I then had to keep filing this dead skin layer off until I exposed the wart underneath, after which I apply the gel.So, after nearly a month, my verruca was gone. This was the only treatment I decided to go for, after reading the pros and cons of other treatment methods such as cryotherapy, creams, etc. I specifically liked the pinpoint accuracy of the pen + the convenience. One pen lasted me 3 consecutive courses of treatment. So that’s a total of 24 applications. Obviously, it depends on the size of your verruca. Mine was pea-sized, it was by no means huge, but it wasn’t small either. Also, caught my verruca at my local pool since I swim to exercise. So I’ve obviously learnt a hard lesson, never go barefoot at the community pool ever again!

It ended up working at the end but I had SO MANY tries before it did.Be really careful not to get it on the healthy skin because it will burn holes into it. I`ve put a greasy cream around the verruca from the second application to make sure this doesn`t happen.I can`t even say how many tries it took to get rid of the warts, I`ve lost count. However, it ended up working when I filed them down as much possible, used it twice a day for 7 days(no break) and filed it every night in the bath during the treatment. It hurt a lot and looked horrible but for me this was the only way to finally get a result, all the other times when I followed the instructions it only peeled the top.I`ve also tried Bazuka sub-zero (completely useless), apple cider vinegar, duct tape, salicylic acid, colloidal silver gel, tea tree oil before trying this one and none of these worked. I`ve had a bigger one and 3 small ones around it and now they are all gone, finally have the lines back on my foot. What a nightmare this was but finally after months of constantly trying they are GONE.

Cant comment as this was purchased for family member who does not have an account

I had a verruca on my foot that I caught at a swimming pool last year (🤢) will never be going swimming without protective socks ever again. I tried over the counter bazuka then extra strength bazuka for going on nearly a year and the little bugger just wouldn’t budge. Bought this, used it for 4 days and it’s nearly gone already, just finished the 4 day break and have just applied again, I think after this 4 it will be gone. The pain has already gone. It’s amazing :) definitely recommend.

Used it for 4 days and on the 7th day the wart was gone. Great product
