Scholl Verruca Removal System - 15 Washproof Plasters & Medicated Discs, with Salicylic Acid, Targeted Action for Effective Verucca Removal

I have been battling with a small but extremely stubborn verruca on the side of my foot for the last 18 months. I first tried to get rid of it using Bazuka gel. Aside from the fact that the gel always seemed to take forever to dry after application, it had absolutely no effect on my verruca. After persevering for a couple of months I gave up and ignored the thing in the hope that it might just disappear of its own accord. No such luck! When the pesky thing started to hurt several months later, I then progressed to the extra strength gel. Once again, despite diligently following the application instructions for several months and seeing no results, I again gave up. Then, horror of horrors, not only did I discover another verruca on my other foot, but my hubby suddenly announced he had one too! Clearly caught from me. I remembered using a plaster-based verruca removal system over 10 years ago with some success but couldn't find one in any pharmacy or supermarket. I then discovered the Scholl Verruca System on Amazon. This consists of various sizes of discs impregnated with salicylic acid that you place over the offending verruca and then cover with a padded plaster. There is no waving your foot around for 10-15 minutes waiting for a gel to dry. The plaster just has to be changed every 48 hours. The instructions say that verruca removal may take up to 12 weeks. However, my initial stubborn verruca that point blank refused to respond to Bazuka actually fell out within only 6 days of starting treatment with these plasters. After the Bazuka battle I initially thought this was perhaps a fluke and I was just lucky. However, the verruca on my other foot was also gone by day 10. My husband's verruca also disappeared within 10 days. For both of us, treatment was simple and painless. The plasters adhered well, did not come off when showering and were easy to remove when changing. While the gel-type verruca-removal systems may eliminate the need for plasters they simply did not work for me. I therefore suggest giving these plasters a go.

I've managed to have a verruca on a callus on my finger for about four years. It's sat there, mocking me relentlessly, getting in the way of manual labour. I'd shave it down and it would just get thicker, so I decided to kill it. I got a tube of Bazuka and went to town. Months later it's still there, I've gone through two tubes and I decide to up the ante. I got the Extra Strength Bazuka and expected fully that the minimal progress I'd made would go much better. Turns out that Extra Strength Bazuka is really watery and getting it to stay where I need it, right on the last bendy bit on my index finger, is nigh on impossible. After much (fully recoverable) damage to the surrounding skin and even less progress getting rid of this... thing... I did the sensible thing and gave up. It was only when browsing for more Bazuka that I saw these things. These are little sticky discs of medicated cloth. They come in three sizes, I needed the biggest size. They stick right on where you need them and they stay stuck even when you bend your finger, which people tend to do quite a lot. 15 square soft sticky pads are included that you stick over the medicated disc. These are to cushion the area when impacted but they work well anywhere. You get fifteen of these foamy cover patches, which is where the pack count gets its 15 in a pack from. Each medicated disc is 40% salicylic acid which is the same strength is the Extra Strength Bazuka if I remember correctly. The medicated discs are round, measuring 5mm, 8mm and 10mm across respectively. But there are not actually 15 treatments in a pack. Oh no, its much better. There are actually 45 medicated discs in a pack! I thought the first one was a fluke, but I've had three packs now and they're all the same: 15 foam cover plasters but 45 medicated discs! Three sizes; 15 of each size = 45 medicated discs per pack. I've found that you can easily just cover larger areas of skin with the smaller patches overlapping a bit and it works great! You don't need the foam cover sticker if you just use micropore tape to cover it up. I started again with these patches and the results are great. It's starting to actually clear up. The thing on my finger had gotten quite big and very resistant but these patches make the whole surrounding area peel off PAINLESSLY. Each time you see the area wanting to peel do so and continue treating. When all the skin coming off looks like the same normal skin: you're done. If you stop treating too early and it looks like it's coming back just start treating again. Do follow the instructions though, initially I was applying them too frequently, you don't need to do that, it won't wok any better. The instructions are a very effective way to use these things, so heed their advice. It's true that you can get more treatments out of one tube of Bazuka but I don't care. These are not the cheapest thing on the market but I don't care. You get three times the number of medicated discs that are advertised anyway, and these WORK. If you have even a slightly stubborn callus or verruca or plantar wart or whatever then these will be a good choice. These have worked for me where other branded products have failed entirely and I recommend them.

I cannot praise this product enough! I've had a verruca on my toe for 16 years now, I've lost count of the number of treatments I've tried over the years. Home freezing, gels and as of this year 4 rounds of cryotherapy at the gp ending in them shrugging and saying I would just have to live with it... I was at the point of looking up private clinic to look at surgical removal and being faced with having to pay hundreds in treatments, when these randomly came up and I thought why not give it a go. All it took was 7 days and the verruca just fell off!!! I was completely shocked after dealing with so many painful difficult treatments this was completely painless. Important things to follow: -Make sure you leave it on for the full 48 hours each time, I changed mine after the bath. -Keep the plaster dry -I read the reviews beforehand that the foam coverings provided does not stay on so used kinesiology tape to cover -I also used an emery board to remove the top layer of skin between each change

I have one close to the edge underneath my foot. If I wear the sticker in the house, with socks there is no issue. If I wear the sticker with shoes they move a round a lot. They also stick to tights and come off completely. If you're walking a lot I would recommend trying something else. If you're at home more than not, then these are perfect.

I received this product today, and I am really disappointed the medicated discs were stuck to the sealed protected plastic sleeve. And when I tried to remove them they stuck to my fingers and this is the non-adhesive side of the disc

Great item - having had a large verruca on my foot which was so painful when i walked and seemed to be resistant to the most popular verucca removal product including extra strength and sub zero i read the reviews for this product and decided to try it. Within 3 weeks of using this product the verruca on the sole of my foot had come off and the second one is nearly ready to come away. Having said that the plasters that are provided to go over the treatment patches are near to useless so I recommend buying some bigger plasters to use but would definitely recommend this product and having spent a lot of money on previous products would definitely use again ( but hope i won't need to) ! Update the second verruca has now gone so would thoroughly recommend this product !

Used this on a 13 year old, it DOES specifically say not to use on under 16's but I their feet are a size 5 so basically adult sized and other treatments had failed. It worked really well, we put the little circles on, covered with the supplied plaster cover and then wrapped some kinaesthetic tape around the foot to make sure it all stayed in place for 48 hours. After about 2 or 3 weeks of changing the discs we saw that the verruca was dying. A large verruca that hadn't responded to Bazooka treatment seemed to have died and we were just left with a crater which now seems to be healing (fingers crossed). We found some of the little discs we struggled to know which side was the right side and some had fallen off the paper backing, but we still used them. Where we ran out of the smaller discs we cut the larger discs to size and used them. Highly recommend as this was our last resort before paying £££ to try and get it needled or burn off, neither of which sounded appealing.

I can’t recommend this treatment enough. I’ve had a stubborn verruca for years now, it comes and goes but all in all, I’ve always had it. I’ve tried bazuka and freezing and all sorts, it felt like I was going to have to go get it surgically removed (which I really didn’t want to do as none of my friends and family know I have it, and that felt like something I’d have to tell them). I thought as one last try, I’d get these, based on all the good reviews. No lies were told! I’ve been applying a patch basically every other night, because I walk a lot during the day and the stickers just wouldn’t stay in place. So every other night, I’d put one on while I slept, and now 8 weeks later, my verruca has completely vanished and my skin has fully healed. The verruca itself must’ve gone over a week ago, but I’m accounting for my skin healing time as well. These were amazingly effective, painless and even my irregular application still got me results.
