Salactol Wart Paint is something I have used to get rid of two massive warts on my hand and a small verruca on my left foot. The warts on my hand were growing underneath the fingernal and actually making the nail grow sideways and it was starting to hurt when I was trying to hold a pen or pencil to write. A friend suggested Salactol and until then it was not something I had ever heard of before. I bought mine from Tesco's at £2.79 for a small bown coloured glass bottle with screw top lid, containing 10mls of fluid. The instructions are on the back of the box and first it told me I had to file my wart down with an emery board. It felt a bit odd doing this ...  Read the complete review

Some time ago, I developed a small painless pea sized lump on my side an inch or so below my armpit. This threw me into a complete panic, and perhaps foolishly decided to look it up on the internet. This led to me worrying far too much, panicking that I might have cancer, and phoning my GP begging for an emergency appointment.

Being diabetic means I am more prone to warts and verrucas worse luck!!. Recently I've had them on my feet. I spent weeks going to the nurse at my local practice to have them sprayed with liquid nitrogen to try and freeze them. This didn't work as well as I had hoped so she suggested I try wart paint. I went to the chemist and got some Salactol. A bit about Warts They are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus. This in turn causes a hard protein called Keratin in the top layer of the skin to grow too much. The result is the rough hard bumpy piece of skin that we call a wart. They are harmless but very contagious so extra care should be taken when ...  Read the complete review

I remember using salactol wart paint on my verrucas years ago when I was a child. I suffered terribly with verrucas as a child but, luckily, haven't been troubled since. This always used to help get rid of them (although I had to have more persistent ones 'frozen out' at the doctors). When my partner developed a rather large verruca on his foot, we tried all sorts of over the counter remedies to get rid of it - including various types of the more modern 'home freeze' treatments. These were very expensive but didn't seem to shift the verruca at all. That's when I remembered this treatment from my childhood. I looked all over in an attempt to purchase this ...  Read the complete review
