What are Carnation Callous Caps?

Carnation Callous Caps are a home treatment for calluses that helps to remove the dead skin that creates calluses. The Carnation Callous Cap cushions the area, relieving pressure while treating the callus at the source.

What are calluses?

Calluses are rough, hard, yellowish patches of skin that can regularly develop on your feet, hands, or knuckles. The skin that makes up a callous is thick and is often less sensitive than areas of healthy skin. They develop when your skin rubs against something, for example when your foot rubs against your shoe.

How do Carnation Callous Caps work to treat calluses at home?

Carnation Callous Caps contain salicylic acid, which helps to loosen the layers of dead skin that make up a callous. Over the course of a few days, this can remove your callous entirely.

How to use Carnation Callous Caps.

Clean and dry your feet before using Carnation Callous Caps. Remove the backing paper from the Carnation Callous Cap and position the felt ring over your callous. Fix the cap into position firmly, it should not slip or move when properly applied. Remove after three days and clean away any loose skin. If the callous has not been removed, apply another Carnation Callous Cap, however you should not use this product for more than 2 continuous weeks.

When should Carnation Callous Caps not be used?

Carnation Callous Caps are not suitable for use by children under the age of 16. Do not use Carnation Callous Caps if you are allergic to salicylic acid or any of the listed ingredients. Check the expiry date before using Carnation Callous Caps. Do not use Carnation Callous Caps if:

• You are diabetic.
• You are using other medicated products to treat your callous.
• You want to use this product to treat anything other than a callous.
• The skin close to your callous is inflamed or broken.
• You have a circulatory disorder.
