Salactol Wart Paint is a quick and easy way to get rid of your warts, verrucas, corns and calluses. The paint contains salicylic acid which helps dissolve the wart or callus.
Salactol is suitable for use by adults, children and the elderly.
How does Salactol wart paint work?
The active ingredients in this product are salicylic acid and lactic acid.
The active ingredients work by:
softening the hard skin growth, making it easier to remove with a pumice stone or emery board;
helping to kill the virus that causes warts and verrucas.
What are Corns and calluses?
Corns and calluses are hard or thick areas of skin that can be painful. They’re not often serious. There are things you can try to ease them yourself.
You mostly get corns and calluses on your feet, toes and hands.
Corns and calluses can also be tender or painful.
Corns and calluses are not often serious and there are things you can try to:
get rid of them yourself
stop them coming back
DO
wear thick, cushioned socks
wear wide, comfortable shoes with a low heel and soft sole that do not rub
use soft insoles or heel pads in your shoes
soak corns and calluses in warm water to soften them
regularly use a pumice stone or foot file to remove hard skin
moisturise to help keep skin soft
DON’T
do not try to cut off corns or calluses yourself
do not walk long distances or stand for long periods
do not wear high heels or tight pointy shoes
do not go barefoot
IMPORTANT
If you have diabetes, heart disease or problems with your circulation, do not try to treat corns and calluses yourself.
These conditions can make foot problems more serious. See a GP or foot specialist.
What is Warts and Verrucas?
Warts and verrucas are small lumps on the skin that most people have at some point in their life. They usually go away on their own but may take months or even years.
Warts do not cause you any harm, but some people find them itchy, painful or embarrassing. Verrucas are more likely to be painful – like standing on a needle.
You can treat warts if they bother you, keep coming back or are painful.
These treatments can take up to 3 months to complete, may irritate your skin and do not always work. You should not use these treatments on your face.
Your pharmacist can give you advice about the best treatment for you.
Warts and verrucas are caused by a virus. They can be spread to other people from contaminated surfaces or through close skin contact. You’re more likely to spread a wart or verruca if your skin is wet or damaged.
It can take months for a wart or verruca to appear after contact with the virus.
DO
wash your hands after touching a wart or verruca
change your socks daily if you have a verruca
cover warts and verrucas with a plaster when swimming
take care not to cut a wart when shaving
DON’T
do not share towels, flannels, socks or shoes if you have a wart or verruca
do not bite your nails or suck fingers with warts on
do not walk barefoot in public places if you have a verruca
do not scratch or pick a wart
Genital warts can be treated at a sexual health or GUM clinic.
See your doctor if you have a wart on your face
SEE A DOCTOR IF:
you’re worried about a growth on your skin
you have a wart or verruca that keeps coming back
you have a very large or painful wart or verruca
a wart bleeds or changes in how it looks
you have a wart on your face or genitals

Use it only on warts, verrucas, corns and calluses on sites for which it is recommended.
For adults, children and the elderly:
Follow these steps once every day, usually in the evening. Carry on using the product in this way until the wart, verruca, corn or callus disappears:
A. Soak the affected area in warm water for 2 to 3 minutes.
B. Dry the area thoroughly, using your own towel if you have a wart or verruca (this will help stop the infection spreading to other people).
C. Gently rub away any loose, hard skin from the surface of the wart, verruca, corn or callus with an emery board or a piece of pumice stone:
if you are treating a wart or verruca, do not let anyone else use the emery board or pumice stone after you as the infection may spread to them.
D. Unscrew the cap of the bottle and, using the applicator attached to the inside of the cap, carefully apply a few drops of the paint to the top of the wart, verruca, corn or callus only:
avoid spreading onto surrounding healthy skin;
allow each drop to dry for a few minutes before applying the next drop.
E. If the treated area is on the sole of the foot, cover it with an adhesive plaster to help prevent the virus from spreading. Elsewhere, treated areas need not be covered.
F. Always replace the cap of the bottle tightly after use.
G. Repeat steps A to F every evening, after removing any plaster from the previous day.
H. The length of treatment will vary depending on the size and resistance of the wart, verruca, corn or callus:
some may go in a relatively short time;
some warts and verrucas can require up to 12 weeks treatment before they disappear;
it is important that you do not give up on the treatment until the wart, verruca, corn or callus has disappeared (unless irritation occurs, see section 4 below);
if the wart, verruca, corn or callus has not disappeared after twelve weeks of treatment tell your doctor or pharmacist.
If Salactol accidentally gets on to normal skin, wipe it off straight away with a tissue, and, if necessary, wash the area.
