Key Benefits

Salactin Paint is a combination of two keratolytic agents: Lactic acid and Salicylic acid used in the treatment of skin conditions like warts and the removal of calluses and corns. Salactin Paint breaks down and dissolves a skin protein known as keratin and removes dead skin cells, thereby softening skin. Lactic acid also possesses antiviral properties and kills the virus that causes verrucas and warts. 

About Salactin Paint

Salactin Paint 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.

Salactin Paint is a combination of two keratolytic agents, namely: Lactic acid and Salicylic acid. Salactin Paint works by breaking down a skin protein known as keratin and removes dead skin cells, thereby softening skin. Salactin Paint 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, Salactin Paint softens and dissolves keratin (skin protein) and prevents acne formation and further bacterial skin infections.

You are advised to use Salactin Paint for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition.
