| Stone77777's Full Review: Compound W Liquid |
Some time ago, I noticed a bump on my left index finger. After a quick self examination, I determined that the bump was of the wart variety. This was a mildly disturbing discovery as the presence of warts generally means they are gonna be around for awhile and, in all likelihood, multiply like little wart rabbits....possibly spreading to other fingers and making life somewhat miserable for the host who has enough complications in his life without adding a bunch of skanky lumps to the mix.
In typical Greg fashion, I ignored the tiny little mountain of wartiness. This was not an effective strategy as it wasnt long before Mr. Wart had his brother join him, scant millimeters from the original squatter. Soon another brother came along and another and another until, without much fanfare, I soon discovered a veritable forest of warts growing on my index finger.
I had read somewhere that warts will eventually go away so I stubbornly decided to wait the little buggers out...after all they were just tiny, one sixteenth of an inch pieces of misshapen flesh with roots sunk deep in my skin while I was an almighty human being complete with a brain and the ability to use it in emergencies.
This did not prove to be an effective strategy either. Pretty soon, the wart forest became the wart landscape as bumps began to appear on the opposite finger...as if the first settlement was lonely and needed some company. At first, I thought I should go see a doctor but then I decided to do what any red blooded American male would do when confronted with such a creeping invasion....I got out a pair of my sharpest scissors and tried to cut the forest down to size.
Yes my dear now grossed out readers...I managed to cut the tips off the trees but not much else as I am human and not impervious to pain which had, by now, begun to shoot up and down my finger. It was time to call in the reinforcements. Time to head down to my local drug emporium and snag the all time heavy hitter of wart removal...good ole Compound W.
I chose the liquid as it seemed to be the easiest to apply. Somehow, with my active lifestyle, I didnt think pads would work and I have an inherent distrust of anything which comes in gel form up to and including shaving cream. So it was the liquid which was brought forth to do battle and, having never used the stuff before, I again did what most red blooded American males do which is throw the instructions away and just squirt a bunch of the liquid on the offending area.
This was not a good strategy either. I had no idea what it was about Compound W that was supposed to destroy my tormentors but I never even considered the idea it would be something which would eat away at my skin. Silly me...I certainly and quickly found out what happens when you expose a bunch of your skin to the good witch Compound W....a film grows over your skin and little dents eventually appear where there were no dents before.
This was a frightening discovery and, for a brief period of time, I began to envision life with only the outer half of my index finger available to me in fleshy form. I tried washing the stuff off but, by the time I realized it was gonna do some very strange things to my finger, it was kind of too late and I was gonna just have to let modern science run its course.
The next application was made with much more care and in accordance with the instructions I hastily fished out of the garbage....the warts got covered and a smile slowly echoed across my face as I imagined the cries of fear Mr. Wart and his family must have been shouting as they felt the active ingredient go to work against their fortress.
I have no idea what is in Compound W other than it kind of smells like gasoline and makes your finger look like you left it sitting in a cup of water for a couple of weeks straight...it definitely shriveled my skin which, at the time, wasnt a good thing. Apparently the purpose of putting it on the skin is it causes the skin to dissolve which then dissolves the wart and whatever roots are present.
It took about a month of daily assaults on the enemy before I began to see results but let me just tell everyone that the results are AWESOME! At the height of the invasion, there must have been around ten warts scattered up and down my index finger and several more along the adjoining finger...as of this writing they are all completely gone.....fin...aloha warts and good riddance.
I heartily recommend Compound W to anyone who wants to destroy the enemy before it destroys him. It seemed to get right to the root of the problem and did so with only mild inconvenience. I am sure most readers wont have the multitude of lumps that I allowed to grow on my finger so it probably wont even take nearly as long to get rid of the offenders as it did mine.
Buy Compound W and send your warts to wart heaven....wherever that may be. Just be sure to read the instructions first...
