Directions:

Apply once daily, usually in the evening.

1. Soak the affected area in warm water for 2–3 minutes.

2. Dry thoroughly. If treating a wart or verruca, use your own towel to help prevent spreading the infection.

3. Carefully apply a thin coating of one or two drops of gel directly to the wart, verruca, corn or callus.

4. Avoid applying the gel to surrounding healthy skin.

5. Allow the gel to dry for a few minutes. It will form a small white, water-resistant patch.

6. There is no need to cover the treated area with a plaster.

7. The following evening, peel or pick off the dried gel before applying a fresh treatment.

8. Once a week, gently rub the affected area with the supplied emery board or a pumice stone before applying fresh gel.

Continue treatment until the wart, verruca, corn or callus has disappeared. Resistant lesions may require treatment for up to 12 weeks.
