RE: 3-WEA Antiseptic (Theresa Hughes, DPM)
From: Rob Eells, DPM
 
A great alternative to 3-WEA is Dreft, the laundry product. We mix water with it at about a 10:1 ratio. Softeners are useful for corns, calluses, warts, painful mycotic toenails, psoriasis, etc. to make the shaving of these lesions easier/faster for the podiatrist, and more comfortable for the patient. I never knew 3-WEA to be useful for anything but softening lesions prior to debridement or shaving down.
