I have had my warts treated 5 times. The one on my left hand is on the knuckle. It started as 1 wart. Then I had it treated. (Salicylic acid treatment and liquid nitrogen/cryogenic treatment). It came back as a huge cluster of warts that covered the bottom half of my knuckle. The other is on my right had on my middle finger. So when I rested my head on my clasped hands, my right hand gave my left knuckle the wart virus. My right hand has had cryogenic treatment 3 times. Every time it comes back. I was unwilling to pay the medical bill of $189 again. (This is after insurance).
I started researching different treatments. Duct tape did nothing for me. Herbs did nothing. Burning it off didn't work. I did not want to have it cut out of me. So I researched the cryogenic treatment since it's had some success in the past. I researched the medical version of the liquid nitrogen spray guns. Those were $500-700. I tried to get a used one but auction websites rarely get them. So I started looking for liquid nitrogen. Not the easiest thing to get your hands on. Then I came across this. I read all the comments and other website forums. I followed the instructions and sprayed it on a Q-tip first and then pressed it into my wart. I held it for 10-12 seconds to reach at least 90 seconds of freeze time. When the Dr's did it, they only froze it for 60 seconds.
It stings and the larger the area you have to freeze, the more it stings. It will sting for a long time afterwards. Some of my warts were small, so I only had to work a small area. Three area's were larger, about the diameter of a #2 pencil eraser. So I worked to accurately freeze them. It took me only 3 times to really get the hang of it.
I am on my second freeze session. The first one was 2 months ago and it killed all the warts I correctly froze. Instead of a massive cluster of 17 warts on my knuckle, I'm down to 6. I'm anticipating 1 more freeze session. But I'm waiting 2 months between each time for adequate freezing.
In my experience thus far, freeze the warts had given the best results.
