Warts

Administration

Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after using this medication. Soak the wart in hot water for at least five minutes. Use an emery board or pumice stone to rub off the dead skin in the affected area (avoid sharing this board/ stone with others). Dry the area thoroughly. Use the applicator to apply the medication directly to the wart. Allow each drop to dry before the next is applied. DO NOT apply the medication to surrounding healthy skin.

Adult Dose

Use the applicator to apply 2 to 4 drops of the medication directly to the wart once a day. Cover the treated area with a plaster or adhesive tape.

Contraindication

Not for prolonged use in high concentrations and on large areas of the body. Impaired peripheral circulation or diabetes. Avoid broken skin, mouth, eyes, mucous membranes and anogenital region.

Mode of Action

Salicylic acid has a potent keratolytic action and a slight antiseptic action when applied topically. It softens and destroys the stratum corneum by increasing endogenous hydration which causes the horny layer of the skin to swell, soften, and then desquamate. At high concentrations, salicylic acid has a caustic effect. It also possesses weak antifungal and antibacterial activity. It is commonly used for lubricating and moisturising skin, thus relieving dryness and itch.

Precaution

Not for prolonged use in high concentrations and on large areas of the body. Impaired peripheral circulation or diabetes. Avoid broken skin, mouth, eyes, mucous membranes and anogenital region.
