Combine a measured dose of Salicylic Acid ointment with a soft felt corn ring to relieve pressure whilst the corn is treated
Salicylic Acid loosens the intracellular cement holding hardened skin together allowing it to flake away, softening and loosening the nucleus to allow clean removal
Self-adhesive straps make Carnation Corn Caps easy to apply and hold firmly in place
A ten day treatment course is usually fully effective
Description
Carnation Corn Caps are medicated plasters that contain Salicylic Acid ointment in the middle with a soft felt ring. It is effective against pressure caused by corn. It heals corn completely, as the drug loosens the indurated skin, softens corn and cleans the skin. It is easy to apply and adheres firmly to promote healing.

Direction:,
- Clean and dry the area surrounding the corn. Thoroughly washing and drying the area helps to ensure firm adhesion. Without a solid connection there is a chance the corn cap strip will slip out of place and lose effectiveness, or potentially come in contact with healthy skin.,
- Remove the corn cap from the backing. Just like a Band-aid, the adhesive section is pressed against a rubber backing that ensures nothing sticks to it before being applied. Discard the backing once it has been fully separated from the adhesive portion.,
- Place the circle directly over the corn. Press it down firmly, adhesive side facing the skin. The circle is medicated, most likely with salicylic acid, and erodes the corn's accumulation of skin. The gel of the corn cap needs to penetrate the skin directly on the corn, and if possible, the edges as well, as there may be portions of the corn that have grown laterally along the skin.,
- Use separate adhesive strips on the edges to keep the corn cap in place.,
- If using the corn cap on a toe, wrap the adhesive portion all the way around the toe.,
- The spongy ring should alleviate some of the pain related to the corn touching or rubbing against shoes and other items.
