Treatments for wart removal

Advice on what is common in Germany

I have just discovered I have a small but annoying wart. It is not visible (well in winter anyway!) but it is in a position of getting ripped off every time I put on or take off shirts, etc.

I have have only ever had one before and I had it removed by liquid Nitorgen. What are the common treatments here ? IS it possible to get something in the Apotheke to remove?

Yes, they have a pin that will freeze it off. Ask for Scholl Freeze Warzenentferner or similar.

Hautarzt did the task with liquid something for my wife & seems to have worked. Liquid N is outside the scope of an Apotheke!

It depends on the kind of wart. As always, get your hints, advice and recommendations from your happy little online family but go to a dermatologist in the end.

The chemists can help you out too - they once gave me great advice. Only because my doctors was closed and I was moving countries the next day though!

Tea Tree oil can remove some warts and can be bought everywhere

try the wart removal stuff from the Pharmacy, then try to get an appointment for next week with a Dermatologist.

Soldering iron also does the trick, just try not to fry other bits of skin.

Thanks a lot folk. I guess I will make a trip to my nearest Apothek and get an appointment with a Hautarzt next week.

Appreciate the help. I think i will leave the soldering iron option until i am really deserate tongue.gif

Wart removal - Use Duck Tape. I kid you not.

Duck tape is the saviour of the world as i have said on many occasions.

DUCT TAPE! Just so you know!

Sorry my son, everyone calls it Duck Tape.

It is, in fact, Duck Tape".

"Duct Tape" is an incorrect usage ... such as "for all intensive purposes", where the incorrect version vanquishes the correct one.
