What causes warts?

Warts are benign growths that can develop on the skin as a result of infection with a type of virus called human papillomavirus (HPV). They're contagious and can be transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact or by touching contaminated surfaces or objects. Warts are more common in children and teenagers, but they can occur in people of any age. Warts also can develop on any part of the body, but they're most commonly found on the hands, feet, and face. They are typically small and rough in texture, and they may be raised or flat. Warts can range in colour, from the same colour as the surrounding skin to a darker shade, and they may be smooth or rough.

How does Salactol work to treat warts, verrucas, corns, and calluses?

Firstly, it softens hard skin growths such as warts, verrucas, corns, and calluses, facilitating their removal with tools like a pumice stone or emery board. Secondly, it contains keratolytic agents that aid in breaking down keratin, a protein integral to skin structure, further helping to eliminate the affected skin growth. These combined actions make Salactol effective in treating these common skin issues.
