I recently started using Salicylic AC 28.5% Solution to treat a particularly stubborn wart on my foot. After trying various over-the-counter remedies with little success, I decided to give this a shot based on the positive reviews I read online. The solution works by softening and peeling away the hardened skin, which is great in theory, but I've been experiencing some side effects that I wasn't expecting. I've noticed skin irritation and some burning sensations, which can be quite uncomfortable. The instructions say these are common, but it's still a bit alarming when it happens. What really surprised me were the urgent side effects listed in the leaflet: allergies can become severe, even life-threatening. That's why it's crucial to check in with a doctor. It's also listed that you can report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-332-1088 or online at https://www.fda.gov/medwatch. Would anyone be able to provide an update if they've reported these side effects? There hasn't been much information shared online. I've read many positive testimonials, so I know it can work, but I also want to know if anyone else has dealt with these issues or has any tips for managing them. Also, is there a way to minimize the discomfort and pain? Any insights or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated!

I've been dealing with a stubborn wart on my foot for months, so I finally got Salicylic Acid 26% Liquid to treat it. I applied a small amount as directed, and it stings like crazy. Is this burning sensation normal? I've read about skin irritation, but I'm worried it's too intense. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I be concerned about other side effects like dizziness or hearing loss? I know it says to seek medical attention for those, but I want to be prepared. Any tips for making this process more tolerable?
