Summary

This study tested a medicated patch containing 40% salicylic acid to treat common and plantar warts. Thirty people aged 6 and older used the patch for up to 21 days. The goal was to see if the patch safely shrinks or removes warts by softening and peeling off the affected skin.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
salicylic acid (40% wart patch)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, at-home way to remove common and plantar warts without a doctor visit.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 30 participants. Warts often go away on their own, so the patch may not be better than doing nothing. Skin irritation or allergy to salicylic acid is possible.
