Indications and Usage

Indications Cornex is used to remove Warts and Corns. A wart is a viral infection of the skin surface layer. The incubation period varies from a few weeks to several months. Warts can be spread by contact of the virus with damaged skin, particularly if warm and moist. This is why one of the most common sources of infection is swimming pools. Corns are hard, thick pads of skin caused by pressure and friction. They usually occur on the feet due to poorly fitting shoes. They can also occur on hands. Cornex Gel is suitable for use by adults, children and the elderly.

Warnings

Warnings Remember that warts are infectious. To prevent the infection spreading to others always keep to your own towel. Do not walk about barefoot if warts are on the soles of your feet. Be patient, it can take 6 to 12 weeks to completely remove the wart. Do not use Cornex on moles, brithmarks or unusual skin growths or near eyes or on mucous membranes. Avoid use on broken or inflamed skin.
