It is used in the pharmaceutical industry as an antitumor drug aimed at combating not only benign but also malignant tumors.

The benefits of Vartox for plantar warts

The product has a fairly strong effect on human skin. This happens due to the action of the active substances included in its composition.

When using Vartox you can achieve the following effect:

1. Keratolic. It consists of influencing the neoplasm, due to which it softens. The cream makes the exfoliation of dead epidermal cells easier.
2. Antiviral. Glycyrrhizic acid is one of the most active substances in the fight against HPV, herpes, cytomegalovirus and other pathogens. The antiviral effect is based on the induction of interferon formation. Blocks the introduction of virus particles into the cell and disrupts its ability to synthesize new structural components.
3. Anti-inflammatory. Suppression of secretion, namely blocking the secretion of sebum and sweat, has a good anti-inflammatory effect, eliminating a favorable environment for the development of pathogens.
4. Anesthetic. A pronounced analgesic effect lies in the effect on nerve endings, which prevents the development of pain, as evidenced by numerous reviews of Vartox.
5. Regenerating. Improving the blood circulation of healthy tissues promotes their rapid regeneration and restoration of the skin pattern, the absence of scarring and the fastest possible healing.

Instructions for use of Vartox for spines

Before removing warts with Vartox cream paste, prepare the skin. It is necessary to cut off the keratinized part of the epidermis of the spine as much as possible. The specificity of this neoplasm is that it grows inward, not outward. Therefore, you need to align it as much as possible with the level of the foot. Don’t be afraid to do this, the main thing is not to go deep inside the growth. Trim the wart with nail scissors or rub it off with a pumice stone or sanding file after thoroughly steaming it in hot soapy water.

There is no need to treat the skin around the tumor to protect it from getting the drug on the healthy epidermis. But, still, you should avoid excessively spreading the paste onto healthy skin.

Instructions on the use of Vartox:

1. Dry the treated area and apply a thick layer of cream paste to it.
2. Do not rub the ointment in or massage the treatment areas.
3. After this, cut a bandage measuring 2 by 2 cm from a cotton pad. Place it on the treated area so that the cream does not smear.
4. Cover the area with the bandage with an adhesive plaster or bandage it so that it fits tightly to the wart treated with Vartox.
5. After a day, peel off the patch, remove the bandage and remove dead skin with nail scissors or a scraper.
6. If the spine is not completely gone, repeat the treatment. Do this until the growth peels off.

In numerous reviews on the use of Vartox, patients recommend bandaging a piece of garlic to the treatment site between applications. It is known for its antiviral effect, therefore, according to patients, it will help to quickly kill the virus that caused this tumor. However, doctors do not recommend experimenting in this way. This can cause negative consequences in the form of allergic reactions. Moreover, the drug contains acid, the main task of which is to fight the human papillomavirus.

Real reviews of Vartox for plantar warts

Vartox from spines has collected quite a lot of reviews, primarily positive. As with other drugs for papillomas and warts, the effectiveness of this depends on the size and size of the growth, as well as strict adherence to the instructions for use.

Lydia, 33 years old, Moscow

My son is an active swimmer, so spines are a constant problem for us. While studying the issue, I noticed that Vartox for plantar warts has much more positive reviews than other drugs, since it is designed to treat this type of papillomas. A dermatologist also confirmed this. I recommended either that or cauterization with liquid nitrogen and a laser. We decided to start with a cheaper and gentler method, since laser is expensive, and freezing is a painful procedure. They took the paste and applied it to the steamed leg, having first cleaned off the wart. Although the instructions say that you need to apply a bandage on top, we did not do this. A thick layer of cream was applied and a sock was put on top at night. In the morning, the son again steamed the growth, cut off the dead skin and went to school. In the evening the procedure was repeated. As a result, after 4 days the spine was no longer there. We were very pleased with the effect. In addition, we used the rest of the product on my elbows, rough, darkened skin. These problems are treated with drugs containing urea - the main component of Vartox cream paste for warts. A year and a half has passed since the treatment, my son continues to actively visit the pool, but there have been no relapses.

Olga, 29 years old

My friend advised me to buy Vartox cream paste. She used it in the following way. In the evening I applied a very thick layer to the steamed wart and covered it with a bandage. In the morning I took it off, washed it with soap and cleaned it with a heel sanding file. As a result, after 3 days her feet were clean. This is how she managed to get rid of 4 spines. Inspired by her stories, I decided to remove my papillomas on my feet with this cream. I did everything as my friend said, only in the morning I didn’t always have enough time to thoroughly clean off the dead skin. I came home after work and did this before applying the product again. As a result, after 2 weeks of use I did not see any strong effect. My old warts were still there. Yes, they have become a little smaller, but they have not completely gone away. I didn’t know whether to continue treatment with this drug or try some more potent, aggressive drugs. On the other hand, I was afraid of burning the skin, as is described in many reviews of other products, but after that at least there are no scars left. She continued. It took 2 months for complete recovery. Considering that I had been wearing them for two years before, I’m happy with the result. And the most important thing, again, is that there are no burns or scars that interfere with walking. I recommend this product, but only to patient people.

Valentina, 32 years old, St. Petersburg

A plantar wart appeared on the leg of my six-year-old son. I think he brought this unpleasant thing from kindergarten. He didn’t let him treat the thorn, he barely managed to persuade him to apply ointment - this is how they treat a bear in one of his favorite cartoons. We used several other drugs that were age appropriate, but they did not help. Then we bought Vartox cream paste, even though I had it since I was 7 years old. In the evening I spread it in a thick layer, put some cotton wool on top and sealed it with a band-aid. In the morning, when my son was still in a very deep sleep, I peeled it off, soaked it a little with hydrogen peroxide and carefully cut off the keratinized part with scissors. Unfortunately, this procedure could not be carried out every day, but 2-3 times a week. I think that’s why the regeneration process took so long. It took us a month to get rid of the wart. But I’m still very pleased, since neither laser nor, especially, cryofreezing was suitable for us - the child is very restless, and he definitely would not have agreed to such treatment. Therefore, I am very grateful to the manufacturers and I think that if you follow the instructions strictly, recovery will come much faster. Now we use Vartox to prevent spines.
