Wart-Off Paint 6mL

A treatment paint for common and plantar warts in a convenient 6mL bottle.

Directions for use:
1. Mask the area around the wart by:
a) Smearing petroleum jelly around it, NOT on it.
b) Paint around it with nail varnish.
c) Use a felt corn ring.
d) Cut plaster around the wart.
2. Apply a very small amount of Wart-Off Paint on the top of the wart only, using the applicator. Avoid contact with the surrounding skin.
3. Allow Wart-Off Paint to dry, then cover the wart with a plaster (waterproof if possible) so it does not breathe. Do not leave the wart uncovered.
4. Wash hands thoroughly after applying Wart-Off Paint. If a waterproof plaster is used to cover the wart, washing hands will not affect the treatment. If you use a non-waterproof bandaid, do not put wart area in water as this can cause the salicylic acid to run into skin and cause burning.
5. Repeat once or twice daily until the warts has completely cleared. Change the plaster every couple of days or as desired. Should the condition persist consult a physician.
