ACETOCAUSTIN solution 0.5 ml wart treatment with spatula Application:
Protect healthy skin with Vaseline! Place the carton with the Acetocaustin® bottle in the pre-punched opening on a stable, firm surface out of the reach of children.
Once opened, dip the spatula into the solution and dab the wart with it.
Since Acetocaustin® has a strong caustic effect, a spatula applied once a week is sufficient to achieve the desired result.
Never apply more than one spatula amount!
Use in children
The use of Acetocaustin® in children under the age of 6 must be carried out by a doctor.
Older children should be treated by an adult.
Never treat the wart more than once a week, even if you hardly notice the film on the wart.
The maximum area to be treated is 2 cm², which corresponds to an area of approximately 1.4 cm x 1.4 cm. If there are several warts in close proximity to one another, treatment should be started on one wart first and only then be continued with the treatment of the other warts after they have healed.
The cells destroyed by the caustic effect of Acetocaustin® turn whitish after a while and are rejected by the body. Dead tissue must not be removed mechanically before treatment, as even minimal skin injuries can lead to inflammation.
On skin areas other than the soles of the feet and palms of the hands, the treated wart should be checked more frequently for skin irritation, since the highly caustic effect of Acetocaustin® can cause scarring.
The solution should be applied to hard-to-reach parts of the body (e.g. soles of the feet) by an assistant, especially in patients with restricted mobility.
The same applies in the case of disturbed fine motor skills (e.g. trembling hands, stiff finger joints).
