Pharmacology
Salicylic acid is a widely used and effective keratolytic. It causes desquamation and destroys the epithelium by dissolving the intercellular cement of the Stratum Corneum. Lactic acid acts on the keratinisation process and reduces hyperkeratosis. It is also caustic, so it destroys hyperkeratotic tissue.
Collodion comes from cellulose, in a base that contains ethanol and ether. It makes the product easy to apply accurately, and it dries to leave a film. That film hydrates the tissue and helps the active ingredients penetrate.

Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Unscrew the bottle cap and apply the solution to the affected areas with the brush applicator. Before you start using this topical solution for the first time, unscrew the fitted cap and discard it. Then remove the plug, holding it away from your body so nothing splashes into your eyes or face, and discard that too. Replace it with the brush applicator cap, which comes in the sealed polybag inside the carton.
Apply the solution to the affected areas once daily, following these steps. Soak the affected site in hot water for five minutes. Rub the surface carefully with a pumice stone or emery board to remove any hard skin. Dry the area with your own towel. Then apply the solution with the brush applicator supplied, taking care to avoid contact with normal skin. Let it dry thoroughly. If the lesion is large or on the foot, cover it with a plaster to help the active ingredients penetrate.
Continue treatment once daily until the lesion has completely cleared and the ridge lines of the skin have been restored, or until the corn can be removed. The usual treatment period is 6 to 12 weeks.

Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Salicylic Acid + Lactic Acid is made to break down keratin in a controlled way, so apply it only to the affected area. Don't use it on the face or on the anogenital regions, and don't use it if you are diabetic or have impaired circulation. Keep it off moles, birthmarks and unusual skin growths. Don't treat warts over large areas at one time. Don't use it on infants or very young children unless a doctor has advised it. For external use only.
Contraindications
Salicylic Acid + Lactic Acid is contraindicated in people with hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients. Don't use it on open wounds, irritated or reddened skin, or any area that is infected. The solution should not be used on the face, anogenital regions, moles, birthmarks, mucous membranes, warts with hair growing from them, red edges or an unusual colour. Avoid applying it to normal skin. The solution may cause eye irritation, so avoid contact with the eyes and other mucous membranes. If it touches the eyes or other mucous membranes by accident, flush with water for 15 minutes. Avoid exposure to healthy skin. It may also cause skin irritation, and if undue skin irritation develops, treatment should be stopped. Consider alternative treatments if warts cover a large area of the body (more than 5 cm2), because of the potential risk of salicylate toxicity. This solution is not recommended in patients with diabetes, circulatory problems or peripheral neuropathy, except under the supervision of a doctor. Oral salicylates taken during or immediately after a viral illness have been associated with Reye's syndrome, so there is a theoretical risk with topical salicylates. For this reason, use is not advised in children or teenagers during or immediately after chickenpox, influenza, or other viral infections. Salicylates have been reported to be excreted via breastmilk. Patients should be advised not to inhale the vapour. Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Nobody has established that this solution is safe in human pregnancy. In animal studies, salicylic acid given by mouth caused embryo toxicity at high doses. So Salicylic Acid + Lactic Acid is not recommended during pregnancy.
Salicylates pass into human milk, and the solution is not recommended during breastfeeding either. If it is used or given while a mother is breastfeeding, she should take care to keep it away from the breast area, so the baby doesn't swallow it by accident.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
