Treatment of common warts, plantar warts (warts on the soles of feet), corns, and calluses. Primarily used for removal of keratin-containing skin growths on external areas of the body.
Contains salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent that softens and breaks down keratin protein in thickened skin. This helps shed the outer layers of the wart or callus over time, allowing healthy skin to regenerate underneath.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and healthy surrounding skin. Should not be used on moles, birthmarks, or areas with poor circulation. Diabetics should consult a doctor before use. Treatment may take several weeks for complete removal.
