Apply a thin coating of Salactin Paint to the top of warts, verrucas, calluses and corns only. Then, let it dry for a few minutes to form a small white patch that is water-resistant and sticks to the treated area. The next evening, before applying the Salactin Paint, carefully peel off the white patch and repeat the same process.
