What Is The Treatment For Skin Warts?

Hi, I m using the medicine wartosin to remove a wart on my cheekbone area, this is my 5th day using it and it still has not fallen off. It has darkened in colour and is dry and crusty but when I apply it, it stings for about 20 minutes. Is this normal? How long do you think it will take to fall off?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The stinging during the treatment for warts is normal.
Some mild discomfort, burning, skin redness and peeling is expected while using the wart treatment.
This means that the wart is going away.
The time that the wart needs to fall of depends on many factors.
It may need several days or even more.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
