I've had this wart now for 3 years. It's on the side of my finger and growing down into the cuticle of the nail. I used compound W and then went to the compound W wart treatment bandaids, then I switched to the compound W Gel which seemed to help. But I finally broke down and asked my family doctor for a referal. I've seen 2 dermatologists, the first one I saw 5 times last year and all he did was freeze it and that did nothing. He then prescribed a oinment to put on it, but I couldn't afford it at the time, it was $80.00 and not covered. The second one told me that the Wart is underneath my fingernail and has made up this concoction that I have to put on it for 3-4 days, let it air for 3-4 days and restart the process. This concoction can only be made at one Pharmacy and it is really painful and I need to keep a band aid on it even when I'm not treating it. The skin around my finger is burnt and is very sensitive. There has to be a better way to get rid of this thing. I have 3 refills on this prescription and then I go back to see him. The prescription costs $50.00. He said if this doesn't work than he will need to lazor it off, another painful procedure that isn't covered by Ontario's Health Plan. So this would be very expensive. The wart has grown 3 times it's original size. It developed before Spencer and I went to Toronto in 2005. Anyway if anyone knows of any other remedies I sure would appreciate it!
i hope it clears up soon. is it painful or does it just bother you aesthetically? 
No it's pretty painful and I keep it covered up when I'm out in public because it's just freakishly gross and if I'm appying for jobs that's the last thing I want anyone to see.
sounds painful to do this???
