- Always apply this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you
- Soak the affected area in warm water for 2 to 3 minutes
- Dry the area thoroughly, using your own towel if you have a wart or verruca (this will help stop the infection spreading to other people)
- Once every week, before applying fresh gel, gently rub the wart, verruca, corn or callus with the emery board provided or a pumice stone
- Apply a thin layer on warts, verrucas, corns and calluses on sites for which it is recommended
- The next day, carefully peel or pick off the white patch of dried gel from the wart, verruca, corn or callus
- If removal of the white patch is difficult, carefully re-apply the gel directly over it and leave it to dry. This will thicken the white patch and make it easier to remove
