Wart Off
Wart Off is a topical keratolytic treatment designed to assist in the removal of warts. It contains active ingredients like salicylic acid and lactic acid that work by softening and breaking down the keratin layers of the wart, allowing it to be gradually peeled away.
Dosage by Body Weight
Apply once daily to the affected area. Soak the wart in warm water for 5 minutes, dry thoroughly, and gently abrade the surface with a pumice stone or emery board. Apply a small amount of Wart Off directly to the wart, avoiding the surrounding healthy skin. Allow to dry and cover with a plaster if recommended.
