    This product is derived from blister beetle toxin and produces large blood and water blisters beneath the skin. Our podiatrist failed to disclose the extreme pain that these blisters would cause. It was super easy to use; the doctor simply smeared the toxin on the warts and ushered us out the door with no aftercare instructions. My 15 year old son could not walk for the first two days and then h ... Show Full Comment

    I was using Vircin for 8 weeks with little results before trying this. I have a reasonably high pain tolerance and this is honestly the worst pain I have EVER been in in my life. I just got the treatment 9 hours ago and it has been excruciating. I will NOT be getting another treatment even if my doctor suggests ir. The pain is not worth having them gone quickly. My warts are on my outer foot (mosa ... Show Full Comment

    I have had 4 treatments with this medication to try and eliminate a large mosaic plantar wart that covered the bottom right side of my right foot and up the right side of my foot. The pain within 2 hours after applying is almost unbearable and it lasted for almost 2 weeks. I also had lots of bleeding from my foot after the last treatment (as if my skin was eaten right down to the bone). It does ... Show Full Comment

    I was told it might take a few treatments to get rid of the wart, but it only took one. It hurt like crazy as the blister formed and I couldn't really bare the pain to walk on it. However, two weeks later and the main wart and the other new forming babies elsewhere on the foot all disappeared. The nurse made me a nice cushion out of super thick moleskin that helped ease the pain.
