What is Verrugon Complete?

Verrugon Complete is a powerful form of treatment for the removal of verrucas. The active ingredient is salicylic acid which works to break down the infection and prevent it from spreading. This ointment will work to remove a verruca and leave the skin looking and feeling healthy again. This pack contains:

  • Ointment
  • Emery board
  • 9 plasters
  • 9 corn rings

 

What is a verruca?

A verruca is a virus under the skin. It is most common in children aged from 3 until adulthood. A verruca will appear on the bottom of the foot where pressure will be placed and as a result, are painful when walking. A white ring will surround the verruca, with a softer centre. Small black spots can be seen in a verruca when looking at it closely. These spots are caused by internal bleeding in the verruca.

Verrugon is suitable to be used by adults and children aged 6 and over. Do not use Verrugon Complete if you:

  • Are diabetic
  • Suffer from circulatory problems

How should Verrugon Complete Verrucae Treatment be used?

Follow the required steps to use Verrugon effectively:

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are rare but may occur, particularly if allergic to any of the ingredients. You may also experience irritated skin if you get some of the solution on normal skin. If you experience this irritation, stop using Verrugon for a short period and when resuming use, ensure that only the verruca is covered with the treatment. The wool fat in the treatment may cause a skin reaction, such as contact dermatitis. If you notice any side effect, contact a doctor or Chemist 4 U pharmacist as soon as possible.
