Posted on Mon, 1 Apr 2024
Question: My grandson has a wart on his hand. Decided to treat it with Compound W. Then, after it started healing,
he "pulled off the loose skin & added more Compound W. " Now, for 6 hours, it has been severely burning. He is not wimpy but this is getting to him. What can I tell him to do?
Thank you. XXXX
