The medication comes in both liquid form and as pads. Some doctors recommend pads; others prefer the liquid or gel. Many dermatologists prefer a stronger plaster. The plaster contains 40% of the acid while the liquid or gel is 17 to 20%. In either case, you need to follow a specific regiment of treatment. It becomes a repetitive pattern you need to follow if the treatment is to be successful.

Take a shower or enjoy a bath

Pat your skin gently with a towel. Do not roughly towel dry. If your skin is damp, it will more easily absorb the acid.

Take the liquid dropper or pad and apply it.

Cover the liquid if you are not using a pad or plaster. Some people choose to use the liquid then cover it with the pad.

If you use a plaster, leave it on for 5 to 6 days.

If you use the pad, the liquid or the combination, remove the covering before you bathe. This should be approximately 24 hours after the application.

When you expose the wart, before bathing or after removing the plaster, take a pumice stone or an unused emery board. File off the dead upper level material of the wart.

Once you have done this, take a shower or bath and repeat the treatment nightly for 2 weeks.

Treatment with salicylic acid is a prolonged affair. It may take several weeks before the warts are gone. There is also a slight risk of infection. If nothing else, you may suffer from a reddening of the adjacent skin. If this occurs, stop treatment. To try to prevent this, cover the region directly around the wart with either petroleum jelly or a zinc oxide paste.

Some restrictions apply to using salicylic acid. If you are diabetic do not use this medication. If you have circulatory problems, avoid its usage. Also be careful never to apply the acid treatment if your skin is inflamed, over sensitive or has poor circulation.
