MG Chemicals403A-285G 403A 134A Super Cold Spray, 285g (10 oz) Aerosol Can

I used this cold spray to freeze a wart, and it worked pretty well. I used a high-quality straw, cut down to size, and held it firmly against my skin with a paper towel around the bottom to catch any excess spray. I sprayed a few times in the span of 30 seconds, I then waited and sprayed again.So far, it seems to be doing the job, and I’m hoping the wart doesn’t come back. It’s a straightforward and effective solution if you’re dealing with similar issues.

Working well

I have had my warts treated 5 times. The one on my left hand is on the knuckle. It started as 1 wart. Then I had it treated. (Salicylic acid treatment and liquid nitrogen/cryogenic treatment). It came back as a huge cluster of warts that covered the bottom half of my knuckle. The other is on my right had on my middle finger. So when I rested my head on my clasped hands, my right hand gave my left knuckle the wart virus. My right hand has had cryogenic treatment 3 times. Every time it comes back. I was unwilling to pay the medical bill of $189 again. (This is after insurance).I started researching different treatments. Duct tape did nothing for me. Herbs did nothing. Burning it off didn't work. I did not want to have it cut out of me. So I researched the cryogenic treatment since it's had some success in the past. I researched the medical version of the liquid nitrogen spray guns. Those were $500-700. I tried to get a used one but auction websites rarely get them. So I started looking for liquid nitrogen. Not the easiest thing to get your hands on. Then I came across this. I read all the comments and other website forums. I followed the instructions and sprayed it on a Q-tip first and then pressed it into my wart. I held it for 10-12 seconds to reach at least 90 seconds of freeze time. When the Dr's did it, they only froze it for 60 seconds.It stings and the larger the area you have to freeze, the more it stings. It will sting for a long time afterwards. Some of my warts were small, so I only had to work a small area. Three area's were larger, about the diameter of a #2 pencil eraser. So I worked to accurately freeze them. It took me only 3 times to really get the hang of it.I am on my second freeze session. The first one was 2 months ago and it killed all the warts I correctly froze. Instead of a massive cluster of 17 warts on my knuckle, I'm down to 6. I'm anticipating 1 more freeze session. But I'm waiting 2 months between each time for adequate freezing.In my experience thus far, freeze the warts had given the best results.

I'm using this to remove skin tags. I got some otoscope speculums (black plastic cone they use to see in your ear) from the nurses office and that works okay sometimes (on one in my inner thigh/groin area it worked very well). The others I use a small cap (off of a hair spray bottle, about 1 to 1.5 across with slight rounded bottom) and put a Q-Tip in it and spray it. I get decent saturation and "sizzle", then touch to the skin tag and it also sizzles a bit. I try to do for 30 seconds, but if the Q-Tip cools off to fast I repeat it. On a couple that were the right size, I put the speculum cone over the skin tag so it was in the small side sticking up and pushed the speculum in to seal, then sprayed, let it sizzle and targeted a 30 second exposure, took a few 10 second tries). It looks like I got stung by wasps according to my wife. It leaves purple marks where treated but mine are in my armpits, only doing one pit at a time. For bigger one (groin and one big one in arm pit) I followed up with the kit on Amazon that has the tiny rubber bands with the skinny cone and paddle used for skin tags (ANY "patches" or natural elixirs don't work at all). I would have been completely miserable if I went off and tried treating ALL of my skin tags at once. You damage, then have to heal, so doing it in stages is best in my opinion. I went to the dermatologist and it was expensive, he was very rude, and he pretty much did the same thing as I'm doing with this. I do have some medical training and experience, but I think some common sense goes a long way here. DO NOT simply put the straw on the nozzle and spray at your skin!!! You will regret being this sloppy and will be in pain. No, I didn't have to do that to know the outcome. I have common sense. Don't go crazy, be smart. Use focused treatment, and error on the side of caution. It works! Happy hunting!

UPDATE AT THE END...I purchased this product for my brother. He has a stubborn wart and my dermatologist was using this on stubborn dry skin spots I had. Unconventional, but if they are using it so can we.I covered his finger with a bandaid, and made a hole over the area to expose the wart only- and gave a few shots with this can. Though it has an added nozzle for precision spraying, it splattered and it sprays wide. So I could not risk giving him frost bite and sprayed quick sprays about 3x not continuous as others mentioned 15-20 seconds. This felt too long and risky. He had pain just after a few quick sprays and it turned white.UPDATE- A week after, dead skin is starting to peel after which is good.I will give him a few more shots with this spray this evening and I think the one year saga with his wart will finally end. My brother would have gone on with this for years if I did not intervene.It was expensive for how much was needed, however, if you buy over the counter kits from Dr Scholls or any other, they cost more and do not work.A trip to a dermatologist office is $120ish now, so $35 is reasonable for a DIY.I recommend putting a glove on like a latex or surgical glove, cutting area out, then putting duct tape with hole over wart before spraying. The bandaid allowed more chemical to seep through which is dangerous. Use duct tape as it will seal around your skin. Make sure your skin is cleaned with alcohol so no oils prevent duct tape from sticking.Protect everything around you and skin eyes especially.Its dangerous and not intended for this purpose, but during a pandemic, anything minor we should be treating at home. We are not helpless. You can do this!UPDATE: after one use only and some time my brother is healed. All he did was use a fine sandpaper to exfoliate his forefinger as needed, until it became smooth and he has no scarring or signs it was ever there. This stuff works.
