I have a wart on my finger, I am using the CompoundW adhesive bandage. How often should I apply and remove the bandage?

The adhesive band should be changed every 2 days. It is also recommended to apply Vaseline or clear nail polish on the healthy skin around the wart to protect it from the medication. Additionally, soaking the finger in warm soapy water for 5-10 minutes before changing the band, and using a nail file to remove dead skin from the wart before applying a new band can help to effectively treat the wart.
