Salicylic Acid 8% Cream 200g

Here are some of its main uses:
1. Wart Removal: Salicylic acid is often used to treat common and plantar warts. The acid works by breaking down keratin, a protein which forms part of the skin structure. This process helps to shed skin cells from the wart.

2. Callus and Corn Treatment: Similar to warts, calluses and corns are areas of thick, hardened, dead skin, caused by friction and pressure. Salicylic acid helps soften and shed this hard layer.

3. Psoriasis Treatment: Salicylic acid can help with the symptoms of psoriasis by reducing scaling and smoothing the skin.

4. Acne Treatment: In lower concentrations, salicylic acid is used to treat acne due to its ability to penetrate the follicle and exfoliate the pores.

This medication is used on the skin to treat common skin and foot (plantar) warts. Salicylic acid helps cause the wart to gradually peel off.
