Final Recovery - Final Post
It is obvious now that the entire wart is gone. I don't have a visible scar; at least not that anyone would ever notice. These photos were taken 8/12/13 about two months after I completed treatment.

First Recovery
I still believe the entire wart is gone. I'm not going to finish my review here. I'll finish my photo review when I either have a scar or normal skin in the spot the wart used to be. From the looks of my finger though I think I'm going to have normal skin. I don't think it is going to scar. :-)
Here are photos of the recovery 2 days after I picked the wart and dead skin out.
I picked the wart out on 6/8/2013. These photos were taken 6/10/2013.

Fifth & Final Treatment
My fifth treatment occurred at 1:00 PM 06/07/2013. These photos were taken at 10:45 AM 06/08/2013.
Process: I washed my hands. Then soaked that finger for 5 minutes in warm water. After 5 minutes I dried my finger as best I could with a paper towel. I soaked for another 5 minutes. I then applied one drop to the top of the wart. Using the tip of the dropper I spread the gel around. The gel covered the whole wart and barely touched the normal skin all around the entire perimeter of the wart.
The day after the treatment I picked at some of the dead skin. Before I knew it I had pulled the entire wart out. These photos occurred after I picked the wart out.
Pain: 0 I didn't notice any pain involved with this treatment or any time afterwards. There was not any pain associated with picking the dead skin and wart off.

Second Treetment
My second treatment occurred at 3:15 PM 06/04/2013. These photos were taken at 12:20 PM 06/05/2013.
Process:I washed my hands. Then soaked that finger for 5 minutes in warm water. After 5 minutes I dried my finger as best I could with a paper towel. I then applied one drop to the top of the wart. Using the tip of the dropper I spread the gel around. The gel covered the whole wart and barely touched the normal skin all around the entire perimeter of the wart.
Pain: 2 For the first hour I didn't feel any pain. It was as if the wart was absorbing the gel. At about the hour mark I started feeling a kind of minor burning sensation. Most of the time this was a pain level 1 but it would kind of pulse to a 2 on occasion. After 3 hours from the application of the gel I no longer noticed any pain. However when putting on my socks this morning I disturbed the wart and felt about a pain level 1 again.

First Treatment
I've had a wart on the ring finger of my right hand for over a year now. After a short study of the Amazon reviews for over the counter wart removal products I've decided to try Compound W Fast-Acting GEL.This blog is to provide a photo review of the progress of the treatments.
I failed to take pictures of my wart before the first treatment. For this I'm eternally sorry. I'd describe the wart this way:
- Diameter: 5 millimeters
- Raised Height: 1.7 millimeters
- Location: Right hand, outside ring finger, exactly between the finger tip and first knuckle
I'll use a pain scale from 0 - 10 to describe the pain I feel during the treatment. 0 = Cannot feel any pain or discomfort. 10 = Excruciating, removing the finger would feel better.
My first treatment occurred at 9:12 AM 06/04/2013. These photos were taken at 2:45 PM 06/04/2013. I applied the gel to the wart. Once the gel dried I covered it with a bandage for 2 hours.
Process: I washed my hands. Then soaked that finger for 5 minutes in warm water. After 5 minutes I dried my finger as best I could with a paper towel. I then applied one drop to the top of the wart. It wasn't enough to touch the skin around the wart.

Pain: 0 I didn't feel any pain or discomfort. I actually didn't even feel the gel. Not so much as a cooling sensation from the moisture.
