Table of contents:

Compound W Plus is a topical over the counter medication used for fast and effective removal of skin warts. It may also be used for corns and calluses, as well as for other uses.

Compound W Plus contains salicylic acid as its active ingredient, which works as a keratolytic agent to dissolve the substance that causes skin cells to stick together. This causes the outer layer of the skin to peel away, which helps to quickly remove the wart.

Use and Dosage

Compound W Plus is for use on the skin only. To avoid irritation, do not let the medication come into contact with your eyes, nose, mouth, groin, or any broken skin. If you do get the medication in those areas, flush the area with cool water for 15 minutes. Wash hands after use.

To use Compound W Plus, you should first clean the affected area and soak it in warm water for at least five minutes. After drying the area well, you should remove any excess white skin on the wart, but do not try to rub the wart off. Then, apply a few drops of the liquid or a small amount of the gel to cover the wart and let it dry. You should repeat this process once or twice daily as needed for up to 12 weeks or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Avoid getting the medication on healthy surrounding skin, as it can cause irritation. Additionally, do not use this medication on irritated or infected skin, moles, and birthmarks, warts with hair growing from them, genital warts, or warts on the face or mucous membranes. If you have any questions or concerns about using Compound W Plus, you should consult with your healthcare provider.
