Salactin Paint is a topical medicine used for the gradual removal of hardened skin growths such as common warts, plantar warts on the soles, verrucas, corns and calluses. It is a combination medicine containing salicylic acid and lactic acid (both keratolytic agents that soften hard skin) in a collodion base that dries to form a film, and belongs to a class of medicines called keratolytics.
This medicine works by softening the hard protein (keratin) in the affected layer of skin, allowing it to peel away gently so that healthy skin can regenerate. Apply it carefully only to the affected area as your doctor directs, and let it dry before covering. It is for external use only.
Soaking the affected area in warm water for a few minutes before application can help soften the skin. Avoid sharing towels or personal items to prevent warts spreading to other areas or other people.
Before using this medicine, tell your doctor if you have diabetes, poor blood circulation or nerve damage. Avoid contact with healthy surrounding skin, eyes, nose, mouth and broken skin, and keep the bottle away from flames as the paint is flammable.
