Salactol Paint
Salactol Paint is a topical collodion-based treatment containing salicylic acid and lactic acid. It is designed to act as a keratolytic agent, softening and wearing away the hard, infected skin of warts, verrucas, corns, and calluses.
Dosage by Body Weight
Apply once daily, preferably at night. Soak the affected area in warm water for 2-3 minutes and dry thoroughly. Gently rub the surface of the wart, verruca, corn, or callus with an emery board or pumice stone. Apply a few drops of Salactol Paint directly to the affected area, taking care to avoid surrounding healthy skin. Allow it to dry to form a protective white film. Repeat daily until the lesion is removed.
