Treatment of common warts (verruca vulgaris) and plantar warts on the feet. May also be used for other benign hyperkeratotic lesions as directed by a healthcare provider.
As a keratolytic agent, salicylic acid works by softening and breaking down the protein (keratin) that makes up the wart tissue. This causes the affected skin to peel away gradually, removing the wart tissue layer by layer.
For external use only. Avoid contact with healthy surrounding skin. Not recommended for use on moles, birthmarks, or unusual warts with hair. Should not be used by diabetic patients or those with poor circulation on affected areas. Consult a healthcare provider if warts do not improve after 12 weeks of treatment.
