Celandine for warts must be used with extreme caution due to the highly toxic properties of the plant. The alkaloids that make up the extract have an aggressive effect on all layers of the skin, activating the processes of exfoliation of neoplasm tissue, but if they come into contact with healthy areas, they can cause burns, irritation and itching. To effectively remove warts with celandine, you should adhere to the correct treatment tactics and take into account the duration of therapy at home.

Celandine: medicinal properties
Even in ancient times, the juice of the plant was used to cleanse the skin of pigmentation, acne and various growths. That is why the grass is popularly called “yellow spurge” or “warthog”.
The therapeutic properties of the plant reach their maximum during flowering time - from May to June. It is at this time that it is recommended to harvest the herb for medicinal use.
Celandine extract has the following beneficial properties:
- antimicrobial;
- anti-inflammatory;
- antiseptic;
- painkillers;
- antihistamine.
The above effects make it possible to use celandine juice in the treatment of lichen, calluses, papillomas, warts, and purulent wounds at home without constant medical supervision. However, it is important to remember that a wart is a papule with infected fluid inside. The surface layers of the tissue die off as a result of the influence of the virus, but new cells continue to grow above the existing source of infection.
Complications
Improper removal of warts with Supercleaner can lead to various complications:
- Burns to healthy skin. In such cases, it is necessary to immediately wash off the liquid and rinse the damaged area well. Then you should contact a doctor so that he can examine the wound;
- Scars on the skin. This defect is formed as a result of a burn. As a rule, in such cases, only surgical intervention will help;
- Allergic reaction. It may appear as a rash or redness.
You can buy celandine for warts in a pharmacy without a prescription. It costs almost a penny. In addition, it is one of the most effective drugs for combating skin tumors.
Treatment tactics
The main task of using celandine-based products is to act on the wart throughout its entire depth. Stimulation of the removal process should take place not only above the surface of the skin, but also directly on the stem of the growth. Otherwise, there is always a risk of a new condyloma developing in place of the previous one, especially if we are talking about formations in the nose and neck, and treatment will be pointless.
Experts recommend taking certain factors into account for effective and safe treatment.
Plant juice
Celandine includes more than 20 types of various toxic substances and alkaloids that aggressively affect all layers of the skin. They activate keratolytic processes in dead cells that make up the wart, gradually drying it out.
The growths are reduced layer by layer and, as a result, are completely peeled off from the epidermis. However, if it comes into contact with healthy areas of the skin, the plant sap can cause irritation, redness, burns and itching.
The emergence of neoplasms
With regular exposure to clean areas of the skin with celandine juice, there is a risk of the formation of new warts and papillomas.
In order to prevent the spread of infection, it is necessary to apply the product only in a targeted manner, carefully, trying not to get on healthy tissue.
Features of application to various parts of the body
Removing warts on the face and neck with pure celandine juice is not recommended, as this may leave scars. It is better to use a cream with glycerin or petroleum jelly, after treating the healthy skin around the growth with an emollient.
In order to prevent damage to the mucous membranes of the nose or genital organs, you should avoid treating growths in these areas using liquid celandine-based products.
Removing warts in the nose and intimate places is shown using a Celandine pencil. It gently dries formations without irritating the skin or spreading to healthy areas.
Duration of therapy
It takes at least three weeks to use the active components of celandine juice to have an effective effect. If this condition is met, exfoliation occurs not only of the upper, but also of the deeper layers of the wart.
Modern doctors have proven that the local use of celandine to remove warts will not have a positive result without complex therapy. The main emphasis in treatment should be on eliminating HPV. A combined course of antiviral and cauterizing agents will help get rid of the problem forever. Otherwise, it is inevitable that
Where does the growth come from?
The cause of warts is still a subject of debate among cosmetologists. The most common theory is that the culprit for the appearance of warts is a virus.
With superficial damage to the skin, there is a risk that the microorganism that causes the appearance of warts will enter the injured area and cause an unsightly formation. Of course, we encounter small scratches almost every day, but not everyone develops warts as a result. This requires prerequisites, or rather, a decrease in immunity. Under such conditions, the virus takes root and multiplies.
Papillomas are also a viral disease. But just as in the case of warts, papillomas appear only when the body’s defenses weaken. After all, the microorganism that causes this disease lives on the skin of almost all of us, but is activated only when immunity decreases.

Wart removers
Modern pharmaceutical companies produce many forms and types of drugs based on celandine. Traditional healers recommend combining pharmacy and home remedies. In this case, there is an increase in the body's resistance to most infections, the manifestations of papillomavirus are reduced, and in some cases, with proper use, growths and warts never appear again.
In folk medicine, they use remedies prepared at home from fresh or dried herbs. Infusions of vodka juice and concentrated decoctions are particularly effective in treating human papillomavirus.
A medicinal decoction is prepared from the dried branches and inflorescences of the plant in the amount of a tablespoon and 200 ml of water for 5 minutes. It is recommended to drink a tablespoon 3 times a day, combined with applying pharmaceutical cream or celandine ointment to problem areas of the skin.
Pencil
Lekker Superclean pencil is used for local removal of warts and papillomas. The product is very effective and allows treatment with minimal damage to healthy areas of the skin. The first results become noticeable within 4-5 days.
The growths are smeared with a pencil 2 times a day until they darken. Immediately before the procedure, warts must be steamed with warm water. The main components of a pencil are celandine and alkalis. The components of the product allow you to eliminate the formation and stop the spread of the virus.
Solution
“Super celandine” (1 ml) and “Super celandine” (1.2 ml) are liquid solutions of transparent consistency, which, despite the name, do not contain celandine. The preparations are produced on the basis of potassium and sodium alkalis. As a result of application, they burn out the affected tissues, causing their necrosis. The wart first turns black, and after a few days it completely disappears.
In accordance with the instructions for use, the solution must be applied pointwise for 3 to 7 days. Then you need to take a break and observe the wart. If it does not disappear, you can take another course. The drug is so aggressive on the skin that it can cause chemical burns. For this reason, it is not recommended to use these drugs to remove growths on the face, as scars may remain.
Cream
Cream "Clandestine" consists of natural ingredients:
- celandine extract;
- vitamin E;
- calendula oil;
- sea buckthorn oil;
- chamomile extract.
It is used to treat warts on the soles of the feet, in the armpits, on the buttock folds and other hard-to-reach places. It should be used several times a day in accordance with the instructions or doctor's orders until the growths disappear. The healing properties of the drug have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral effects.
Ointment with celandine
An ointment with glycerin based on celandine extract allows you to get rid of skin growths with minimal risk of scar tissue formation. Local application of the ointment promotes an intensive effect on the warts themselves, without entering the systemic bloodstream, but neutralizing the virus throughout the entire area of formation.
The ointment contains:
- alkaloids;
- saponins;
- resinous substances;
- carotenoids;
- flavonoids;
- organic acids;
- essential and fatty oils.
All these components allow you to effectively remove growths on the face, nose, neck, and intimate places using ointment. It acts quite gently, causing virtually no irritation and leaving no scars. The death of affected tissues begins from the first minutes of application. In most cases, a week's therapy with a glycerin-containing product is sufficient.
Drops and extract
“Mountain celandine” is the name of a pharmaceutical drug that is available in the form of drops or balm. The product is sold in small bottles with an applicator. “Mountain Celandine” can also be presented in the form of cosmetic oil in a 30 ml bottle.
The liquid has a viscous consistency and dark brown color. In addition to celandine extract, it contains impurities of string, golden rhododendron, and gentian.
The undiluted product is applied directly to the wart itself in a thin layer; contact of liquid with healthy areas of the skin is unacceptable. It should be applied twice a day. It is not recommended to go out into fresh air for 2 hours after the procedure.
Infusion for internal and external use
At home, you can independently prepare a remedy based on celandine juice:
- The freshly harvested plant along with its roots is thoroughly washed under running water and cut into 2-2.5 cm pieces.
- The resulting raw material must be passed through a meat grinder, and then thoroughly squeezed using a clean cloth.
- It is recommended to keep the juice in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
- Then 500 ml of vodka is added to 1 liter of juice.
You can use the infusion to burn warts or take it orally (orally), starting with 5 drops per day. Gradually, 1 drop is added to the initial dose every day, bringing the total number to 20. Afterwards, the medicine is taken in full for a month. After 30 days you should take a 10-day break. After this, if necessary, you can conduct another course.
This method of application is advisable for those who are contraindicated for surgical or laser removal of warts. The treatment regimen is quite simple, but guarantees complete elimination of ugly growths within the first weeks of use. However, due to the characteristics of the plant, more than three such courses cannot be carried out during the year. The product promotes overall strengthening of the body and improves immunity. For people with particularly sensitive skin, before applying the juice, you need to lubricate problem areas with water.
The herbs minced with a meat grinder can also be kept for 14 days with the addition of olive oil. The output is celandine oil, which is used for local applications to large areas affected by warts.
Precautionary measures
Celandine against warts should only be used as recommended. To obtain more detailed information, you can contact a dermatologist who can advise you specifically on your problem.
Precautions and instructions for using celandine for the treatment of warts:
