About Salipaint Lotion

Salipaint Lotion belongs to a class of drugs called 'keratolytic agents' used to treat skin conditions like warts and remove calluses and corns. Verrucas and warts are small excessive growths of skin that are caused by a virus. Warts occur on the back of hands or fingers whereas verrucas occur only on the sole. Corns and calluses are thick, hard pads of skin caused by friction and pressure that usually occur on the feet due to poor-fitting shoes.

Salipaint Lotion is a combination of two keratolytic agents, namely: Lactic acid and Salicylic acid. Salipaint Lotion works by breaking down a skin protein known as keratin and removes dead skin cells, thereby softening skin. Salipaint Lotion acts as an acid exfoliant that softens and dissolves the keratin. Besides this, it also helps to slow down the shedding of skin, thereby allowing the skin to function longer before flaking off. Thus, Salipaint Lotion softens and dissolves keratin (skin protein) and prevents acne formation and further bacterial skin infections.

Use Salipaint Lotion as advised by your doctor. Salipaint Lotion is only for external use. You are advised to use Salipaint Lotion for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. Some people may experience a burning sensation, itching, scaling, skin dryness, mild tingling sensation, or tenderness at the application site. Most of these side effects of Salipaint Lotion do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Salipaint Lotion or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Salipaint Lotion. Avoid applying to surrounding healthy skin, especially in children as it may irritate. You need not cover the treated area with sticking plaster. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as they can catch fire and burn easily. Do not apply Salipaint Lotion on cuts, grazes, and broken skin.

Directions for Use

• Follow your doctor's guidance regarding the dosage and timing for optimal results.• Apply a thin coating of Salipaint Lotion to the top of warts, verrucas, calluses, and corns only.

The next evening, before applying Salipaint Lotion, carefully peel off the white patch and repeat the same process. • Avoid contact of Salipaint Lotion with normal skin, nose, mouth, eyes, breasts, armpits or genital area. In case Salipaint Lotion comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Wash your hands before and after applying Salipaint Lotion. You are advised to soak the affected area in warm water for 2-3 minutes and let it dry thoroughly.
