Cantharone Plus

Cantharone Plus is a professional‑grade topical wart treatment used mainly by healthcare providers to remove stubborn warts, especially plantar warts and other resistant, heavily keratinized warts. Because of its potency, Cantharone Plus is applied only in a clinical setting by a licensed healthcare provider. Although it is not FDA-approved, it remains a commonly used treatment option among dermatologists. Cantharone Plus is a liquid wart‑removal formulation that contains:

• Salicylic Acid (30%): It is a keratolytic that softens and helps break down the wart’s outer layer.
• Podophyllin BP (2%): It is a caustic agent that helps destroy tissue.
• Cantharidin (1%): It is a blistering agent that causes the wart to lift and separate from the skin.

Quick Facts About Cantharone Plus

Cantharone and Cantharone Plus are related, but they are not identical products. They differ in ingredients, strength, and clinical use. Cantharone and Cantharone Plus are topical wart-removal solutions that contain cantharidin. It is a blister-producing agent that causes the skin under a wart to lift and separate over time. Due to the risk of skin injury, both products are applied only by clinicians.

Key Differences at a Glance:

• In the United States, FDA-approved cantharidin treatment refers only to Ycanth®, not Cantharone.
• Any cantharidin-based treatment should be discussed with and applied by a qualified clinician due to the risk of blistering, pain, and skin injury.

FDA-Approved vs. Non-FDA-Approved Cantharidin Products

• Cantharone Plus wart-removal solution is not intended for home use. It should be used only by a trained healthcare professional in a clinic setting.
• Before application, the treatment area is prepared. Doctors gently remove thick surface skin so the medication can reach the wart tissue.
• Then, a small, controlled amount is applied directly to the wart, avoiding surrounding healthy skin.
• The treated area may be covered with tape or a dressing, depending on the location and the doctor’s judgment.
• Your doctor will then give clear instructions on when to wash the treated area. This is usually after a set number of hours.
• A blister typically forms within 24–48 hours, which helps lift the wart from the skin.

Cantharone Plus works by creating a controlled blister under the wart, which helps the abnormal skin lift away and fall off over time. Its main ingredient, cantharidin, is a blister-forming agent. When doctors use Cantharone Plus for plantar warts, the solution separates the wart from the deeper layers of the skin. The formula also contains salicylic acid, which softens and breaks down thick, hardened skin, and podophyllin, which damages rapidly growing wart tissue.

• In most patients, side effects are limited to the treated area and resolve on their own.
• Serious or long-term effects are rare, but proper application by a trained clinician is important to reduce potential risks.
• Do not attempt to apply Cantharone Plus wart-removal solution at home, as misuse increases the risk of infection, scarring, and other complications.

Dormer Cantharone Plus wart removal solution is considered safe when used by a medical professional for its intended purpose. However, due to its additional ingredients, this topical solution carries certain risks. Here are some potential Cantharone Plus warnings:

• Misuse can lead to severe blistering, skin injury, or systemic absorption.
• Blisters form to lift the wart, but excessive or uncontrolled blistering can increase pain, risk of infection, or scarring.
• If blisters break or are not kept clean, infection may occur, requiring medical treatment.
• There is no adequate safety data, so use during pregnancy should only be done after consulting a doctor.
• While rare, some patients may experience redness, itching, rash, or unusual swelling beyond the treated area.
• People with poor circulation, diabetes, or skin disorders may have a higher risk of delayed healing or complications.

When receiving Cantharone Plus wart treatment, patients are usually advised to follow these precautions.

• Do not apply this medication at home. Self-application can cause severe blistering, burns, or infection.
• Avoid touching or scratching the treated area. Doing so can break the blister, slow healing, and increase the risk of infection.
• Avoid contact with healthy skin, mucous membranes, eyes, or broken skin, as it can cause chemical burns.
• Do not cover with thick or occlusive bandages unless instructed to do so.
• Avoid swimming, hot tubs, or soaking the area until the blister has healed, as prolonged moisture can raise the risk of irritation or infection.
• Do not use other topical wart treatments on the same area unless your clinician advises you to do so.

If you are using Cantharone Plus for plantar warts, you can expect the following results, as mentioned in the Dormer Cantharone Plus wart removal information sheet. However, timing may vary slightly between patients.

• 4 Hours: Mild redness, tenderness, or discomfort may occur after the application. You can manage the discomfort with bathing and taking prescription medications.
• 24 Hours: You may experience blistering within 24 hours, indicating that the solution is working.
• 4 Days: A crusted blister helps break down the wart tissue, causing it to gradually lift and separate.
• 7 Days: The healing phase begins with temporary residual inflammation. Stubborn or large warts may require multiple treatments.
