 Is it OK if my warts are getting bigger during treatment?
Solution

It is not uncommon for the wart to appear to grow in size from treatment with our product. If this happens, the product is working as it should.

This is because warts are caused by a virus which infects the skin only. Those parts of the wart which are hidden in the skin and not visible are pushed out by the healing tissue as the product absorbs into the cell membranes and kills the wart virus. Therefore, the wart “appears” to increase in size, but it is actually being pushed out from the skin. After approximately 1-3 weeks of continued treatment the wart should flake away or fall off.

Duration of treatment can be a challenge as there are over 100 strains of HPV, the virus causing warts. Therefore, some strains are more verilent than others and may require continued treatment to completely eradicate the warts from the skin.
