Medicated Callus Removers

Drug Overview

Kroger Medicated Callus Remover is a topical treatment designed to help you effectively remove calluses, which are thickened areas of skin that can develop due to pressure and friction. This product contains 40% salicylic acid, a powerful ingredient that works by softening and breaking down the tough skin of calluses, making it easier to remove them.

In addition to its callus-removing properties, Kroger Medicated Callus Remover also provides relief from the pain associated with calluses. It is available in convenient pads and medicated patches, allowing you to choose the method that works best for you.

Uses

If you're dealing with calluses, this treatment can help you by effectively removing them. Calluses are thickened areas of skin that can cause discomfort, and by getting rid of them, you can find relief from the pain they may cause.

This product is specifically designed for the removal of calluses, making it a useful option if you're looking to improve your foot comfort.

Dosage and Administration

To start treating your callus, first wash the affected area and make sure it is completely dry. If the medicated patch is too large, you can cut it to fit the size of your callus. Once it’s the right size, carefully stick the patch directly over the callus. To keep it in place, cover the patch with a pad.

After 48 hours, you should remove the medicated patch. If the callus is still there, you can repeat this process every 48 hours for up to 14 days, or until the callus is completely removed. For better results, you may soak the callus in warm water for about 5 minutes before applying the patch, as this can help with the removal process.
