Salicylic Acid

Drug Overview

Best Choice Extra Thick Callus Removers is a treatment designed to help you remove calluses, which are thickened areas of skin that can develop due to pressure or friction. This product contains salicylic acid, a medication that works by softening and breaking down the tough skin of calluses, making it easier for you to remove them.

In addition to helping with callus removal, these medicated patches also provide relief from pain associated with calluses and protect against further pressure and discomfort. Each package includes four pads, allowing you to effectively treat multiple areas as needed.

Uses

If you're dealing with calluses, this treatment can help you by effectively removing them. Calluses can be painful, but with this product, you can find relief as it not only removes the calluses but also protects your skin against pressure and pain.

Using this treatment can make a significant difference in your comfort, allowing you to enjoy daily activities without the discomfort that calluses can cause.

Dosage and Administration

To start using the medicated patch for your callus, first wash the affected area thoroughly and make sure it is completely dry. If the patch is too large, you can cut it to fit the size of your callus. Once you have the right size, place the adhesive side of the patch directly onto the callus. After applying the patch, cover it with a pad to keep it secure.

You should leave the patch on for 48 hours. After this time, carefully remove it. If needed, you can repeat this process every 48 hours for up to 14 days, or until the corn is completely removed. For added effectiveness, you may soak the corn in warm water for about 5 minutes before applying the patch, which can help with the removal process.
