Dr. Scholl's Wart Remover Review

Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away Wart Remover is a new over-the-counter means to treat warts. In the past, only an MD could use liquid nitrogen in the treatment of warts. 

We have treated several warts at home with Dr. Scholl's Wart Remover with mixed results. Some warts have been eliminated with one treatment (the wart sheds in about 2 weeks). Other warts have been more resistant to treatment and have required multiple treatments, the treatments being 2-3 weeks apart.

Dr. Scholl's Wart Remover does seem to work better if you cut off the top surface of the wart. This allows the wart to freeze deeper, killing the infected cells more thoroughly.

The instructions call for treatment time of 10-20 seconds for most warts, with up to 40 seconds for plantar (sole of feet) warts. The thicker the skin and thicker the wart, the longer you want to hold the cryotherapy tip against the wart. 

While the box indicates that only one treatment is necessary, I have found most warts require 1 or more treatments, with 2 - 3 weeks between each treatment. Healing of the frozen surface takes about 1-2 weeks with the hopeful end result that the wart falls off. Generally there is little or no scarring.

However, there are some drawbacks with this product. Some have experienced pain while applying the treatment. From our experience, it was more of a "tingling" sensation.

Overall, we give this product 3 stars and is recommended although there are other alternatives listed on this site. The cheapest place we could find Dr. Scholls's Wart Remover was at Amazon where you may also read several other reviews. Just follow the link below.
