Cure-Aid® corn plaster with Salicylic acid is a medicated plaster for removal of corns. The plaster contains 40% Salicylic acid localized and targeting the corn area, without affecting the surrounding tissue. Features Central Pad allows targeted Keratolytic action, protecting surrounding healthy skin. The cushioning PE foam ring provides immediate relief of the pressure on the corn, and thus immediate pain relief. Flexible and Conformable allowing easy application around the toe. The long strip prevents plaster from slipping during the wearing time. Mode of action of salicylic acid Upon contact with skin, moisture aids release of salicylic acid from the rubbery matrix. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid. Its Keratolytic effect increases the cell-shedding rate of the epidermis. Salicylic acid removes corns by loosening the skin and breaking up the skin cells that form the corn. This makes the corns considerably softer and easier to be removed with a file. This results in less friction and skin irritation. Indications • Corns. • Calluses. • Common warts. Contraindications/Precautions • For external use only. • Do not use in case of sensitivity to any of the plaster components. • Do not use if you are diabetic or if you have circulatory disorders. • Do not use over irritated or infected skin. • It is not suitable for treatment of infants. In the case of restricted renal function, seek advice from doctor. Avoid contact with the eyes in particular. • Salicylic acid can increase the permeability of the skin to other locally applied medicaments.
