Is it safe to treat a plantar wart with dncb?

Why would you?: There are many safer chemical applications that you could use. Dncb (2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene) is a benzene derivatave that causes a hypersensitivity reaction when applied to the skin. See a podiatrist, as there are many other safer solutions that could potentially be used.

DNCB not recommended: Dncb is a benzene derivative and it is well known for causing severe allergic reactions. There are many other much safer and effective ways to treat a wart(s).
