• Warts and veruccas: Warts and veruccas are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV can cause warts to grow on any part of the body, but they are most common on the hands, feet, and face. A wart on the sole of your foot is called a verucca. This medicine can help to remove warts and veuccas by breaking down the keratin that makes them up.
• Corns and Calluses: Corns and calluses are thick, hard patches of skin that are caused by friction. It can be painful and unsightly. This medicine can help to remove corns and calluses by breaking down the keratin that makes them up.

• Rub the softened surface carefully and gently using a pumice stone or manicure emery board, to be used only for this purpose.
• Apply Salactin Paint only on the affected skin region, avoiding the surrounding normal healthy skin with cotton wool. A second application should be done only after the first is dried. Wipe off any Salactin Paint spread on to the normal healthy skin with cotton wool.
• Application to the soles of the feet should be covered with adhesive plaster when dried.

The components of Salactin Paint are as follows:

• Salicylic acid (16.7 %): It has the ability to stop the growth of bacteria (baceriostatic) and kill the fungi (fugicidal) while breaking down the outer layers of the skin and decreasing the thickness of the warts and calluses (keratolytic). This allows for the slow and painless destruction of the warts and corns.Thus, salicylic acid is effective for treating skin conditions that are located in the deeper layers of the skin, such as common warts, plantar and mosaic warts, corns, calluses, and verrucas.
• Lactic acid (16.7 %): It is an antiseptic and caustic agent. It increases the exposure of salicyclic acid to the skin, thereby enhancing its effect.
