Cornex is a topical gel for the removal of warts and corns.

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.

Cornex is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to lactic acid and / or salicylic acid or to any other components of this product.
Do not use Cornex if you are diabetic or suffer from poor blood circulation to your hands or feet.

Cornex is formulated for the controlled corrosion of keratin and thus care should be taken to apply the product to the wart only. Avoid applying it to normal surrounding skin. Do not use Cornex on the face, mucous membranes or anogenital reagions. Cornex is not recommended for use in infants under 2 years of age. Children under 12 years should only use the product under supervision.

No interaction betyween Lactic acid and Salicylic acid and other drugs or substances are known or suspected.

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.

Remove any plaster and soak the wart in hot water for five minutes. Dry with your own towel. Rub the surface of the warts carefully with a pumice stone or emery board. Apply Cornex daily to the warts. Use only enough Cornex to cover the warts and avoid applying to the surrounding normal skin.

Allow Cornex to dry and cover with plaster if the wart is large or on foot. Continue using Cemex daily until the wart is completely cleared and the ridge lines of the skin have been restored.

Avoid use on large areas of skin; as this may result in absorption of sufficient quantities to cause adverse effects.
