Scholl Freeze Wart and Verruca Remover
by sara66 *** 2 verrucas and months of 'Bazuka-ing' them later, my foot realised it needed a different kind of treatment. Googling 'how to remove verruccas effectively', I came across Scholl's Freeze Verruca & Wart Remover. It seemed to have mostly positive reviews, and yet again I admit I was fooled by the high price, believing ... that the higher the price the more effective the treatment. I purchased the Freeze spray from Superdrug at a price of £9.99. The product is packaged in a cardboard box, with the easy-to-use instructions at the back of the box. A more detailed leaflet on the product is included in the box. On opening the box, I was greeted with what looked like a deodorant can with some kind of plastic contraption protruding from the top and side of the can. Also included were a plastic cap, and a pack of 12 applicator buds which looked like one-sided cotton buds. The instructions advised not to use the product more than 4 times on one verruca, and to treat each verruca separately, once every two weeks. The bud should be inserted into one of the holes in the cap, which is then placed on top of the can so that the bud is sitting in the plastic contraption that protrudes from the can. The cap basically covers the top of the can so that the spray does not come out of the can. The cap must be pressed down, and acts much like a deodorant spray does as it releases the spray into the contraption and onto the bud. Once this is done, the cap is removed with the bud still attached to it, and then you simply place the bud on the verruca lightly, and allow it to work its magic. The bud feels cold on the verruca, and for the first 10 seconds, it is almost comforting. Then the sudden flash of pain screams through the skin, but fear not, this only lasts for the next 10 seconds or so. The pain isn't overwhelming, it is just sudden and sharp, and can give you a bit of shock, but the sharp pain begins to fade after 10 seconds, continuing with a more achy pain. After 30 seconds of keeping it on the verruca, you remove the bud from the cap and throw the bud in the bin. My verrucas turned whiter after application, but this discolouration also fades within an hour. One of the side effects is a possible achy feeling in the foot after use, yes this did happen, but I am convinced that the achy feeling was more psychological than actual. After reading more reviews, one revealed that the product needed to be placed on the verruca for longer than the recommended time, and if I recall her words were 'almost so that it burns the verruca off.' After using the product twice with no obvious effects of fading verrucas, I tried the burning method for the final two tries. Another review stated that her verrucas disappeared six months after the product was last used. So I decided to wait.... ...6 months fly by, and the verrucas much angered at my attempts to freeze or burn them, have begun to grow an army ...they are now joined by a third. I conclude this product has been useless for me, and a trip to the doctor is in order. *** Read the complete review |

Scholl Athlete's Foot Powder
by headsore Both me and my other half are plagued by the uncomfortable and horrible condition of athelet's foot. We do martial arts together and it can be a bit off putting to our teamates when they see the state of our feet and toes in bare feet on the floor during a match or a training session. We have tried lots of things over the years to ... erradicate the problem. Sometimes they work, but usually the fungus will gradually creep back. We have been using Scholl Foot Powder for a few months now and it has proven to be really effective in my opnion. A 75ml white plastic container will cost you just about £1.60 We bought ours from Tesco). It has a picture of an infected foot on the front which is pretty angry looking. You lift the lid, just much like a tin of talcum powder, and you will see the little holes where you sprinkle the stuff from. Apply is liberally to all over the foot and especially between the toes becuse this is where it gets really warm and moist and where the fungal infection likes it best as conditions are great there for it to multiply. I manage to sprinkle mine all over the floor and get shouted at by my other half, but it's easy enough to clean up afterwards. Therefore I usually put a towel down first to stop this from happening. I don't feel an immediate relief from the symptoms but after a day or so I stop scratching and gradually the symptoms will subside My other half really also rates this stuff very highyl. The active ingredient is called Tolnaftate 1% which is an antifungal remedy and boy it is good stuff. It is gentle yet effective at the same time and really does help us both erradicate this painful and irritating problem we both have. It is messy to use but I also use it up quite quickly as I also sprinkle it inside my socks and my shoes just to make sure that my feet are completely covered in the stuff. Really recommended by the both of us. review also posted on Ciao as sorehead Read the complete review |

Scholl Medicated Verruca Removal System
by zombieflesh It is somewhat of a mystery to me as to how I managed to end up with a verruca on my foot. I hate having bare feet and have not been anywhere that I can think of where I may have been exposed to catching one. It's a big joke between all my friends that I never take my socks off for anything! Nevertheless, a couple of months ago I noticed ... I did indeed have a pesky verruca appear and I was keen to get rid of it as soon as possible. I asked my other half for advice on treating it as I have not had this sort of problem before. He picked up this Scholl Medicated Verruca Removal System for me from Wilkinson's at the cost of around £4.00. Product description: "The Scholl Verruca Removal System has a targeted medicated action for the safe and effective removal of verrucas. + The Scholl Disc System helps protect surrounding healthy skin. + Cushioning pad for immediate pain and pressure relief. + Dermatologically tested adhesive. + Ideal for the treatment of common warts on the hands. + Suitable for use on children." The Scholl Medicated Verruca Removal System sounds like it could be quite complicated, but upon closer inspection it was actually very easy to get on with. The System comes in a small, lightweight box that contains 15 plasters and 15 medicated discs. The discs are spread out on a backing sheet like stickers, and displayed in varying sizes so that you can select the right one to treat the affected area without it spreading over on to the healthy skin surrounding the verruca. The discs are covered with a protective layer of film and I would really recommend taking great care to keep this in place, I hadn't covered mine back over properly and some of the discs had been left exposed and they stuck onto the inside of the packet which meant that they were then useless and had been wasted. Recommended directions for use: Ensure feet are clean and dry. Select a disc of suitable size, and apply adhesive side to the affected area. Remove plaster from the backing paper and affix over the disc. Leave the disc in place for 48 hours and then remove. Repeat treatment for up to 12 weeks. The unknown origin of my verruca was strange enough, but also strange was the placement of it. Unlike most verrucas which appear on the soles of the feet, mine was located on the side of one of my toes. This made it quite awkward to get the plaster to stay in place. The small discs had a strong adhesive and were easy to apply, but the plasters supplied with the pack are thick and foamy, designed to give a cushioned effect for easing the pressure on the area when you are walking. Because the plaster was bulky it did not curve very well around my toe, and so to get it to stay in place I had to stick another normal plaster strip over the top of it to stop it from moving around and peeling away. My first attempt at using the Disc System was a no go, as the plaster had dropped off inside my sock and I hadn't noticed. I tried again using the double plaster layering and that worked much better. The discs should be left on for a period of 48 hours, and I was always feeling curious to know what was going on underneath there! The first time I changed the disc over I did not really notice any change, apart from the skin felt a bit softer and looked red. After I removed the second disc I was in for a surprise - it had already worked! However, the way in which it worked was quite hideous and I was completely unprepared for the results. The active ingredient in the medicated discs is salicylic acid, and what it does is work its way into the skin and weakens the upper layers so that the verruca can be removed. My skin had become a bit swollen and loose, so I rubbed at it gently to see if it would flake away, but to my disgust, the whole area, verruca and all came away in one big lump! Ewwww. I was really impressed that it had worked so quickly, but as the packet had said it could take up to 12 weeks of treatment I put a final disc on just to make sure that the problem had entirely cleared up. Because the top layer of skin had been removed, I was left with a bit of soreness and the new skin looked very red and agitated. This was only a small discomfort though, and overall I was just pleased that the treatment had worked. The Scholl Medicated Verruca Removal System definitely worked for me, and other than the rubbish plasters I would say that it performed extremely well. The results that I had were much quicker than anticipated, and there was hardly and fuss involved as it was simply a case of sticking on the discs and then changing them every two days. It took about a week or so after I finished using the discs for the delicate new skin to calm down and lose its redness, but my initial problem was resolved within a week and I have not had any further issues since. A quick and easy system that I would recommend. Active ingredient: Salicylic Acid 40% w/w. Discs also contain: Polyvinyl Alkyl Ether Adhesive, Titanium Dioxide, Liquid Paraffin, Thiophenol Antioxidant, Iron Oxides. Read the complete review |
