One of the safe, modern and affordable means for removing skin growths is Wartner. It not only removes the neoplasm, but also destroys the papilloma virus, which is a provocateur of the appearance of warts, therefore, relapses of the pathology are unlikely.

Description of the drug

Wartner is a remedy for the removal of common and plantar warts. This happens by freezing and necrosis of pathological tissues.

With strict adherence to the instructions, it is possible to achieve detachment of the neoplasm in a short period of time. A big plus of using the drug is that after the removal of the neoplasm, there are no scars, scars or other traces.

If the formation has an average oncogenic  status, home removal should be carried out only according to the doctor’s instructions, neoplasms of low oncogenic risk can be removed at home with strict adherence to the instructions for using the drug.

Active substance

The composition of the aerosol Wartner includes:

1. Dimethyl ether is a gas related to simple ethers. Chemically inert, colorless, but with a sharp specific smell.
2. Propane is an alkane, a component of natural gas. Odorless, explosive, slightly toxic. The medicinal properties of the drug are based precisely on the interaction of the skin with propane.

Wartner pen contains trichloroacetic acid concentrate.

Release form

The drug is available in three forms – aerosol, applicator pen, gel.

Wartner applicator pen

The drug is placed in an oblong plastic bottle with a soft tip. This makes it easy to use for spot application.

Aerosol «Wartner cryo»

The aerosol is in a can. Volume 50 ml. The kit includes the aerosol itself, a plastic holder so that the product does not get on healthy tissues, 12 disposable applicators and a file to remove the stratum corneum of the neoplasm.

Gel

The gel contains trichloroacetic acid. Designed for local dot application.

The mechanism of action on warts

The principle of action of the drug is based on the instantaneous freezing of pathological tissues, which leads to their necrosis. After applying the product to neoplasms for three days, a bubble forms on it, which has a protective function – it prevents the attachment of a secondary infection and accelerates the process of cell regeneration.

After a couple of days, the bubble bursts on its own, and a crust forms in its place. Then, after a little more time, the crust gradually disappears, and healthy skin is restored in its place.

Indications for use: do I need a prescription from a doctor

Despite the fact that the drug is dispensed from pharmacies without a doctor’s prescription, this does not negate the need to consult a specialist.

It is impossible to independently determine the type and nature of the skin growth, and given the fact that the remedy is reassigned to remove only benign neoplasms, it is imperative to consult a doctor.

Indications for use Wartner:

• common vulgar warts;
• plantar warts, the diameter of which does not exceed 7 mm.

Destruction of neoplasms of unknown etiology is strictly prohibited.

Instructions for using the tool

Step-by-step instructions for using Wartner aerosol:

1. Take the applicator by the blue part and insert the holder rod so that the rod is not visible.
2. Take the balloon vertically and insert the holder with the applicator in such a way that the applicator is not visible. The aerosol can should be held by the lower part with one hand, and the holder should be pressed with the other until a hiss appears. Hold in this position for 3 seconds.
3. Remove the holder with the applicator from the bottle opening.
4. Immediately press the end of the applicator against the neoplasm, making sure that the contact is complete. If the size of the neoplasm is less than 2.5 mm, the duration of exposure is 10 seconds, if the size is 2.5-5 mm – 15 seconds. For larger neoplasms, the application is applied for 20 seconds, but no more.
5. After the end of the treatment, wait 2-3 minutes, and then remove the applicator from the holder and discard it.

How is the removal of the growth

Removal of the growth is a completely painless procedure. Freezing occurs instantly, as a result of which the neoplasm turns pale and the process of its death begins.

Some patients may experience a slight tingling sensation, which is normal and should not be cause for concern. You need to know that for 1 procedure only 1 neoplasm can be removed, the interval between the removal of the next growth should be at least 2 weeks.

What to do after the procedure

If the wart is subjected to rubbing of clothes or shoes, it is recommended to cover it with a band-aid to avoid tearing off the crust and infection.

Until the wound is completely healed, you can not visit the pool, sauna, bath, comb or pierce the treated area. If there is a strong burning sensation, you should consult a doctor.

Reviews about the tool

Maria Kolesnichenko, Syktyvkar. “Wartner cryo is a very good and effective tool. I removed warts from myself and from my 11-year-old daughter – we were waiting for the result with some concerns, but everything went smoothly, the drug helped from the first application. It is easy to use and the instructions explain everything in great detail.

Elena Proskurina, Mogilev. “I removed an old wart on my leg with this drug . Once in childhood, she already removed it with liquid nitrogen in the clinic. I remember that it was very painful then, and a big bubble appeared, which did not heal for a long time. Wartner’s freezing is more gentle, and therefore the procedure is absolutely painless. Efficiency is 100%, I am satisfied and recommend it to everyone.”

Emma Sapronova, Bogoroditsk. “There was a small wart on my finger, which was often injured and interfered very much. I wanted to have it removed for a long time, but there was no time to go to the clinic. When Wartner appeared at the pharmacy, I decided to try to remove the wart at home . And she didn’t regret it at all. In just two weeks, there was no trace of the growth. Why didn’t I do this sooner?”

Svetlana Melnik, Yekaterinburg. “Money wasted. I tried to remove a wart  on my finger – a small one, about 5.5 mm. Neither the first, nor the second, nor the third time the drug removed the neoplasm, apparently, you will have to use all 12 applicators, that is, carry out 12 procedures so that such a small wart finally disappears. My friend removed a similar wart in the salon in 1 session, and already forgot about this problem.

Preparations for home removal of skin growths are easy to use and quite effective. If you follow all the precautions and instructions for using the product, you can get rid of cosmetic skin defects very quickly.
