Scholl Disc System
The Scholl Disc System is an over-the-counter medicated plaster system designed to remove painful corns. It contains medicated discs infused with salicylic acid, which acts as a keratolytic agent to break down and soften the hard skin of the corn. The system also includes soft cushioning pads that protect the surrounding healthy skin from pressure and friction, relieving immediate pain.
Dosage by Body Weight
For adults and children aged 16 years and over: Ensure the foot is clean and dry. Apply the medicated disc directly over the center of the corn, adhesive side down. Cover the disc with the protective pad and secure the straps. Change the medicated disc and plaster daily until the corn can be easily removed, up to a maximum of 10 to 14 days. Do not use on healthy skin, moles, birthmarks, or if diabetic or having severe circulatory disorders.
