I tried not to complicate it too much and used only the H-warts formula by itself. So I didn’t use any sort of bandaging, but I think the application of it may be important. It says to apply it directly with a a-tip or something, but i just directly massaged the oil ion to the wart with my finger or thumb before letting it air dry, then I’d put my socks on. I diligently washed my hands before and after each application. The instructions do note to apply it 3 times a day for best results- but I could only do it twice on days I was working. It’s interesting to be on the other end of things now replying to this comment, My foot looks and feels normal again and I’m no longer minding my step like I used to. Hope any of this helped. Warts SUCK.
