Hi,
I do not know about Vicks. But you can apply Podowart S lotion containing podophyllin and salicylic acid on it and it will slowly vanish. It is a standard procedure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi, General & Family Physician
