The medication comes with an adhesive bandage that keeps the medicated pad securely in place, ensuring that it works as intended while you go about your daily activities.

Dosage and Administration

To start treating your corn, first wash the affected area with soap and water, then dry it thoroughly. After 48 hours, you can apply a medicated bandage specifically designed for corn treatment. Once you’ve applied the bandage, remember to remove it after the same 48-hour period.
