Scholl Corn Removal Plasters

Corn Removal Plasters for Foot Care

You can effectively treat painful corns on your feet with these medicated plasters designed to soften and remove hardened skin. Each plaster contains salicylic acid, which works by breaking down the tough, thickened skin that forms corns, allowing for gradual removal over several days of treatment.

These self-adhesive plasters provide targeted treatment directly to the affected area whilst protecting the surrounding healthy skin. The waterproof design means you can continue with your daily activities, including showering, whilst the treatment works continuously.

How Salicylic Acid Works on Corns

The active ingredient salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent that softens and dissolves the keratin protein found in hardened skin. When applied to a corn, it gradually breaks down the layers of dead skin cells, making them easier to remove naturally as the skin sheds.

You should apply the plaster directly over the corn, ensuring the medicated pad sits precisely on the affected area. The adhesive border keeps the treatment in place whilst preventing the medication from affecting healthy surrounding skin. Most people see results within 3-5 days of continuous use.

Who Should Use These Corn Plasters

These plasters are suitable for adults and children over 16 years who have developed corns on their feet. Corns typically form on areas of pressure or friction, particularly on toes or the soles of feet, and appear as small, circular areas of thickened skin.

You may find corn removal plasters particularly helpful if you experience:

• Pain when walking or wearing shoes due to corn pressure
• Hard, raised bumps on your toes or foot soles
• Discomfort from corns that interfere with daily activities
• Recurring corns in areas of repeated friction

Targeted Treatment Without Affecting Healthy Skin

The precision-cut medicated pads ensure that only the corn receives treatment, protecting the surrounding healthy skin from unnecessary exposure to salicylic acid. This targeted approach reduces the risk of skin irritation whilst maximising the effectiveness of the treatment.

You can wear these plasters comfortably inside your regular footwear, as they are designed to be thin and discreet. The strong adhesive ensures the plaster stays in place throughout normal daily activities, providing consistent treatment until you remove it.

Safe Storage and Application Guidelines

Store these plasters in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Before application, ensure your feet are clean and completely dry for optimal adhesion. Replace the plaster every 2-3 days or as directed, and discontinue use if you experience any signs of irritation or allergic reaction.

You should not use these plasters if you have diabetes, poor circulation, or any condition affecting sensation in your feet without first consulting your healthcare provider. Similarly, avoid use on broken, infected, or inflamed skin.
