About Epiwart Solution

LACTIC ACID+SALICYLIC ACID belongs to a class of drugs called 'keratolytic agents' used to treat skin conditions like warts and remove calluses and corns. Verrucas and warts are small excessive growths of skin that are caused by a virus. Warts occur on the back of hands or fingers whereas verrucas occur only on the sole. Corns and calluses are thick, hard pads of skin caused by friction and pressure usually occur on the feet due to poor-fitting shoes.

LACTIC ACID+SALICYLIC ACID is a combination of two keratolytic agents, namely: Lactic acid and Salicylic acid. LACTIC ACID+SALICYLIC ACID works by breaking down a skin protein known as keratin and removing dead skin cells, thereby softening skin. LACTIC ACID+SALICYLIC ACID acts as an acid exfoliant that softens and dissolves the keratin. Besides this, it also helps to slow down the shedding of skin, thereby allowing the skin to function longer before flaking off. Thus, LACTIC ACID+SALICYLIC ACID softens and dissolves keratin (skin protein) and prevents acne formation and further bacterial skin infections.

Directions for Use

Wash your hands before and after applying LACTIC ACID+SALICYLIC ACID. You are advised to soak the affected area in warm water for 2-3 minutes and let it dry thoroughly. Apply a thin coating of LACTIC ACID+SALICYLIC ACID to the top of warts, verrucas, calluses, and corns only. Then let it dry for a few minutes to form a small white patch that is water-resistant and sticks to the treated area. The next evening, before applying LACTIC ACID+SALICYLIC ACID, carefully peel off the white patch and repeat the same process. Avoid contact of LACTIC ACID+SALICYLIC ACID with normal skin, nose, mouth, eyes, breasts, armpits or genital area. In case LACTIC ACID+SALICYLIC ACID comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly.
