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!

Same here. I was applying it too often and it really stung. Once I cut down to every other day, it got much better.

I was skeptical, but this actually worked. When I used this on my face, I was worried about scarring and peeling. But my skin healed very quickly once I stopped using the solution. Not to mention how much easier it was to apply. It is so powerful, that I ended up applying too much the first day and my skin was so irritated and painful. I feel like this is what works for me. It is too stubborn to handle the solution. I won't stop until the wart is gone! If anyone has any questions, please contact me.

This stuff is amazing. It's been a few months since I started using it, and my warts are finally gone. I did have some irritation and peeling, but it was worth it. I applied it every other day and it really helped. No burning! Just a word of caution, it can leave your skin very sensitive. I had to apply a lot of lotion after using it to keep my skin from getting too dry. Don't take my word as the final word, but it worked for me!

If you're using this solution on your feet, be super careful about how you apply it. Make sure you avoid other areas of the foot. If you apply it on a foot callus, you will end up peeling off the good skin and it takes forever to heal. Trust me on this.

Just going to say, if you have kids, make sure they don't touch it. Had to call poison control because my little one got some on his hands. The doctor told him to rinse it off immediately and to make sure they don't touch any of the solution.

I've mixed this with a little bit of duct tape to keep the solution on the wart all the time. It's like a do-it-yourself wart patch. It's a bit pricey but works as long s you do not have an allergic reaction.

I had to stop using it because the skin around the wart got so dry and irritated. Maybe it's just me, but it was really unpleasant. Not everyone might have the same experience but it might take time to adjust to.

Don't give up. I hear it takes about 6 weeks to see results. See a doctor if you have any concerns. You can also try covering the area with a bandage to reduce the stinging.
