How to use

Read the instructions in the pack carefully before use.
Soak the corn in warm water for about 5 minutes, then dry the skin thoroughly; it must be free of creams and oils.
Place a salicylic acid disc centrally over the corn and secure it with an adhesive pad. Leave it until it starts to lift, for no more than 48 hours.
Remove the pad, soak the area in warm water for about 5 minutes and remove the loosened skin. Repeat as needed for up to 2 weeks.
Once the corn is removed, peel a foam cushion from its backing, take out the inner circle and place the hole over the tender spot.

Safety and storage

Apply the discs to the corn only, never to normal skin around it.
If healthy skin becomes irritated or a rash appears, remove the disc and stop use. Once it settles you may reapply to the corn only.
Contact a doctor or pharmacist if any other side effects occur.
Do not use if the carton seal is broken or after the expiry date. Do not store above 25°C.
Keep out of the reach and sight of children.

Always read the instructions in the pack before use. If you are unsure whether a foot lesion is a corn, or you have diabetes or poor circulation, ask your pharmacist or GP first.
