Curad Mediplast Corn, Callus, Wart Remover 40% Salicylic Acid Pads (25 Pads)

I wish I knew about this product sooner! Anyone who has plantar warts knows how gross and embarrassing they can be. I could never be barefoot not only because they’re ugly but because they can be transferred to others. I have always had this annoying cluster of plantar warts and figured they would go away in their own, and they never did. I went to a podiatrist and he gave me options, but said the “sure thing” to get rid of them was with cantharidin, but that it can be pretty painful. I was annoyed with them so at this point I just wanted them to be gone and agreed. He prefaced the treatment by saying it may take multiple applications which can take months from time of treatment to heal, peel and then re-apply. Sooo I jumped on the rollercoaster that consisted of pain, medical bills, months and multiple visits to attempt to kill them. On the 3rd treatment the blister from the application got infected. I was in so much pain, I almost ended up in the hospital over the stupid little warts. I decided I wasn’t going back for another treatment and gave up. Fast forward 6 months I went to my dermatologist and mentioned the warts and she recommended this product. I gave it a try because I literally had nothing to lose. I received them Jan 17th and as I sit here on my couch so damn happy writing my first review it’s Feb 1st. I am sooooo pleased to announce my warts are gone!!!! NO PAIN. NO DR VISITS. NO CO-PAYS. Every single night after my shower I would cut out and apply the tape only to the affected area and covered it with medical tape and then a sock. The next day I would take the tape off before I showered and repeated the process without missing a single day. I thought this would take months and multiple purchases of the product. I am so happy and feel like I’ve never been more pleased to find a product that actually works.

This has been a much better purchase than what has been available locally. We started off with what's sold at the grocery store, those small salicylic acid dots and fancy adhesives. We found the sizing and positioning made it so we couldn't get full coverage. We were unable to find name brand or generic 40% Salicylic Acid pads at the pharmacy, so I wound up ordering these from Amazon. With the cut-to-size nature, I really didn't need 25, but it's working so I'm happy. The ability to cut-to-size was a top consideration when purchasing. I can cut a larger piece to cover a cluster where I don't miss the ones on the outer edges. I can also cut a smaller piece to cover a single spot without damaging the surrounding healthy skin. While we have seen improvement in 2 weeks, we've been told the expected treatment window is 12 weeks for 40% Salicylic Acid in general, so I have adjusted my expectations accordingly. We're happy to have this painless option to knock off the easy to treat spots before going through less comfortable and more expensive options of freezing and blistering through a physician.

Works good, bandages are big so cut to size. Have to apply religiously for at least 2 weeks. Softens and peels skin if u have a planters wart you will have to cut away at hard part of wart. Apply to clean dry skin. Worked

I bought these for a plantar wart on my pinky toe. I have a tiny pinky toe, and the last podiatrist I saw about 10 years ago said she couldn’t tell what it was but thought it was just a callous. The only other plantar wart I had was on the ball of same foot. Shortly after it was surgically removed (15 years ago), I noticed the start of discomfort on this pinky toe. For whatever reason, these two plantar warts were nebulous to diagnose, deep and resistant to treatment. Once one was gone, the other appeared. I’ve had these pads for 23 days, and I replace it on the treatment area every day. It definitely kills the skin, so it is imperative to remove the dead skin with sterilized tools and continue treatment consistently on the fresh skin. Other reviews mention pumice but I think that’s tough to sterilize. The most frustrating part is that you can’t really see the entire wart. I can say that I’m no longer in pain from the pressure of stepping on the wart, but it’s still there because I can see the ends of the blood vessels. For a tiny surface area, 1 pad has literally lasted 23 days using small portions. The problem is that the adhesion on these pads is almost non-existent. Band aids are too wide to effectively hold it in place. They just creep up to the top of my toe with every step and kills the skin around the wart surface. I bought some medical tape today and am hoping it holds. Next option will be duct tape. Hopefully I have a toe left after all is said and done, and at least there is progress.

Worked great
