Anyone have experience using a Silver Nitrate Applicator? I've got some questions!
I've recently been prescribed a silver nitrate applicator to treat some minor skin growths. I've used it a couple of times, and it seems to work, but I'm curious about other people's experiences. How long did it take for your skin to heal after use? I've noticed some irritation at the site, and I'm a bit worried. Also, any tips on preventing those major and minor side effects would be really helpful. Thanks in advance for any insights!

I used it on a kid with a bad wart. The kid screamed but it worked. The skin took a while to heal over, but it did. No major issues, thankfully.
I work in a clinic and we use this a lot. Just be careful not to overuse it. Let it air dry and don't wash it off. That can reduce skin irritation.
I had a bad reaction to this stuff. My skin turned bright red and started to swell. I had to go to the ER. I guess I'm just allergic. Be careful out there, folks.
I used one to remove a wart years ago. It stung like crazy, but it worked. The skin took a few weeks to fully heal. I had some redness and irritation, but it went away. Just keep the area clean and moisturized.
