Acetic acid type solutions are no longer used for wart removal. Being liquid, they were found to be difficult to keep from contacting surrounding healthy tissue, which then was also destroyed along with the wart. Modern products use salicylic acid in adhesive patches that can be trimmed to the size of the wart without affecting other tissue.
