At Sole Sister we recommend Occlusal and Verugon, both are salicylic acid. Occlusal is a paint on treatment and is 26% and Verugon is an ointment and is 50%. With both treatments the verruca needs to be filed with a foot file or piece of sandpaper to remove any overlying callus and the treatment can be applied. Occlusal is painted directly onto the Verruca and left to dry. Verugon is stronger and therefore the area has to masked with either zinc oxide tape or the pads provided in the pack, a piece of tape then has to be put over the top. Occusal should be re-applied daily and Verugon can be left on for longer provided the area is kept dry.
Alternative Home TreatmentsThe overlying callus should be removed with either a foot file or piece of sandpaper and then the treatment should be applied daily. Treatments include:
