Salatac Gel 8g
Salatac Gel 8g
Salatac Gel successfully treats warts, verrucas, corns and calluses. It contains two active ingredients; salicylic and lactic acid, which softens the affected area for an easy removal with a pumice stone. It also contains camphor, pyroxylin, ethanol and ethyl which also help to defeat the virus and reduce swelling, so you can get on with your day without any discomfort.
Directions:
Before initial use, it will be necessary to pierce the membrane seal in the neck of the tube. To do this, you should find a suitable surface, in case of accidental spillage. Hold the tube upright, with the cap uppermost and the base resting on a suitable firm surface. Unscrew and remove the combined white nozzle/cap assembly from the tube. Remove the red collar and throw it away. Keep the tube upright for 30 seconds. Then, without squeezing or over-gripping the tube, and with it still held upright and well away from your face:
Replace the combined white nozzle/cap assembly onto the screw thread of the tube (taking care to avoid ‘cross-threading’) and tighten the assembly firmly to pierce the membrane;
Briefly loosen the cap (to release any slight pressure in the tube) and then retighten.
(Please note that, once in place, a small gap will remain between the base of the nozzle/cap and the top of the tube.)
You should apply Salatac Gel to your wart, verruca, corn or callus, once every day, usually in the evening. Repeat the following daily treatment routine until your wart, verruca, corn or callus has disappeared.
– Soak the affected area in warm water for 2 to 3 minutes.
– Dry the area thoroughly with your own towel (to avoid cross-infection).
– Remove the cap, leaving the white nozzle attached to the tube. Carefully apply a thin coating (one or two drops) of the gel to the top of the wart, verruca, corn or callus, and allow it to dry for a few minutes to form a small white patch which sticks to the skin and is water-resistant. There is no need to cover it with a sticking plaster. Take care to avoid the gel spreading onto surrounding healthy skin, as this may cause inflammation. Do not apply excessively. Always replace the cap firmly after use. Do not fold the tube during use.
– Every evening for the next week, carefully peel or pick off the white patch of dried gel from the wart, verruca, corn or callus. Apply fresh gel by repeating steps 1 to 3. Occasionally, if removal of the white patch proves difficult, carefully re-apply the gel directly over it and allow to dry. This should help thicken the white patch to assist removal. If necessary, such re-application may be made on 2 or 3 successive days.
– Once every week, before applying fresh gel, gently rub the wart, verruca, corn or callus with the emery board provided, or with a pumice stone. In the case of a wart or verruca, whatever you use, remember not to let anyone else use it, or they could get a wart or verruca as well.
– The length of treatment will vary according to the resistance and size of the wart, verruca, corn or callus. Some may be resolved in a relatively short time but successful treatment of certain warts and verrucas can sometimes take up to 12 weeks, so you must continue and not give up until the wart, verruca, corn or callus has disappeared (unless irritation occurs).
– At the end of treatment, if the white patch is difficult to remove, it may be allowed to remain on the skin until it sheds.
