Bazuka Extra Strength (salicylic acid) 26% w/w Gel 5g

Description

Warts and verrucas are caused by a type of virus resulting in small excessive growths of skin

• Warts appear often on fingers, or the back of the hands. They can be identified by the rough “cauliflower-like” appearance of the surface.
• Verrucas are often only found on the sole of the foot. They can be painful and appear as a small white ring of skin with a black dot in the centre.

The virus is very infectious and the warts and verrucas are likely to spread, particularly if left untreated. It can also be transferred from one person to another.

Corns and calluses have hard, thick pads of skin and are more likely to appear on the feet but can also occur on the hands. They tend to be caused by pressure and friction such as poorly fitting shoes.

What the product does or its intended use Bazuka Extra Strength gel has a higher strength of the active ingredient salicylic acid than conventional gels. This effectively treats warts, verruca, corns and calluses by softening the skin. Once softened, the skin can be removed by pumice stone or emery board.

How to use Bazuka Extra Strength Gel 

Before using first time:

1. Hold the tube upright and unscrew the combined white and yellow nozzle
2. Remove the red cap and keep tube upright for 30 seconds
3. Without squeezing or over-gripping, in the upright position:

- Replace white and yellow nozzle

- Tighten it to pierce the top of the tube 

- Loosen briefly to release any pressure and retighten

To use the Gel

1. Soak the affected area for 2-3 minutes in warm water
2. Dry gently using a towel
3. Remove protective yellow cap
4. Carefully apply a thin layer (1-2 drops)

- Avoid getting onto the surrounding skin

     5.  Leave gel to dry and form a small white patch. Replace yellow cap on tube.

     6.  After a full day, peel/pick the patch carefully off the skin

- Apply gel

- If you can’t remove the patch, reapply on top of it

     7.  Once a week, before reapplying, gently rub the affected area with an emery board provided, or a pumice stone

Some warts and verrucas can require up to 12 weeks treatment before they disappear. If they don’t talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not share your towel, emery board or pumice stone as the infection may spread to others.

If the gel gets on unaffected skin wipe it off immediately.

This product can be used during pregnancy and while breast-feeding
