Has anyone used this to remove a common wart? Is it necessary to dilute and if so, with what and what ratio? Thx

I used it directly on my sons wart and covered with a bandage...the next morning the wart was black and with in two days had fallen off. He had no discomfort but it did irritate the skin around the wart where the oil touched but nothing that bothered him.

I didn't use this for a wart but an infection on my toe and it burns so badly that I threw the bottle in the trash, sorry for the bad news

That I am not sure of, but I would recommend diluting it if you are using it as a topical due to strength of oil. I would suggest researching it before using it. that way.

Common warts are only removed by cautry ( electrical or chemical ) so you should see a doctor for this issueYes you need to dilute this with water but I dont know the exact ratio its just need to be small drop of oil in large amaount of water ( it is very concentrated I used it like it is without dilution it burned my neck skin and make them peel off thanks god they are healed with no scars after this burn :)

They do not recommend diluting it. It is fairly thick, more like Karo syrup. The smell goes away after about two days. What I don't like is the semi-gloss finish it puts on things, but when I try next will try repeated rubbings as it dries. Of course, since since this is 100% tung oil, you can act as your own "blender" and mix it with boiled linseed, and a solvent to get it back to a more common teak oil.

I stopped using it. It took skin off but my tattoo is deep and it looks better now than it did before I tried to remove it. No, I did not dilute it and I did not use a toothpick. ~Rhys Tudor~

You can reduce the time or dilute it but it won't have the same effect. I cannot tolerate this stuff without numbing the face for a whole 2 hrs with Dr. Numb or something similar. Spread Dr. Numb on the area (generously) and cover up with Saran wrap. Leave on for 2 hrs until the skin feels good and numb. Clean off the Dr. Numb and apply the TCA. You can then leave it on per directions. The peeling a few days afterwards looks a bit dreadful, but don't pull the loose pieces of skin off. In a couple of days they will be gone.

Use water to dilute it to the specific ratio. There are detailed instructions on how to use and for mixing attached on the bottle.

I just used 20% salicylic last night on my face and the white frost appeared around my mouth only. This morning it still burns and is darker in color, not to mention dry. I'm a little freaked out by the discoloration. Will try to update results. If anyone has had this happen would love to hear results!!!

No dilution necessary. I should tell you that the product smells great in the bottle but no smell at all when you use it. Not worth it at all to me.

Hello. I would dilute with water. It's a very concentrated oil. I'm pretty sure it doesn't recommend applying directly to skin. I placed in a spray bottle w/water and sprayed outer layers of clothing & shoes. Works well. Recommend gloves if applying directly.

All depends on what are you planning to use it. You do not need to dilute for many uses

I have not used it on warts but from what I read on these reviews, warts are probably the safest way to go. Its a very small area that is being burned by this chemical. This chemical does burn the skin. I have a nasty burn scar. The area about 4 inches. It looks really bad.

If you are using it topically, then yes you need to dilute it. Most companies recommend 1 drop oil to 4 drops carrier oil. I hope this helps.

I removed some very large raised moles on my back beautifully. I don't see why it wouldn't work on warts. Just bare in mined it took about 3-4 months before they were completely gone.

Yes. If you dilute it you can be use it for general cleaning. This is "Food Grade" Hydrogen Peroxide, and it might be a little more expensive than the normal hydrogen peroxide you would buy at a drug store, which is diluted to 3% and is not for internal use. Note: this is a 35% mixture and should be diluted with at least 11 parts water before cleaning with it, or it will leave burn-like welts on your skin. (They will eventually go away)

I have not tried it on warts. I use it on my eczema type skin problem on my face and it helps.

I was very cautious at first. I will now use it on my head at full power. It does get rid of warts - just very slowly.

This stuff is a strong acid, and will leave bad burns if comes in contact with skin. I wouldnt use on a child. I would let the doctor freeze the wart off on a child.

You can use this every where... I would recommend dilution however as very little goes a long way. I use a foamer bottle with about 1/8 of this soap... Add some pure tea tree oil, a dropper full, and fill with water. It's literally the only soap I use and it has worked wonderfully for keeping adult acne in check... But that's me and everyone's skin is different... And I'm not a dermatologist... I won't ever use another soap though. One bottle has last me almost four months.
