Question 1

does dr. scholl's freeze away work for facial warts?

Accepted Answer

Not well: I do not recommend self treatment for this.  The diagnosis of verrucae should be made by your dermatologist as not everything that looks like a wart is in fact a wart.  The possibility of pigmentary alteration or scarring from self-treatment of the face is possible.

Question 6

Question 10

remove facial wart?

Accepted Answer

FACIAL WARTS: Facial warts, actually called "flat warts, " are sometimes difficult to eliminate. Dermatologists usually freeze them off with liquid nitrogen. (i do not recommend that you try this yourself!) there are some prescription products that are being used for these and your dermatologist will know about them. Sometimes castor oil, on a q-tip, rubbed in gently a couple of times  a day may help.
