Salicylic Acid :

This medication is used on the skin to treat common skin and foot (plantar) warts among ohers.
Salicylic acid helps the wart to gradually peel off. This medication is also used to help remove corns and calluses.
This product should not be used on the face on moles, birthmarks, warts with hair growing from them, or genital/anal warts.

Salicylic acid is a keratolytic. It belongs to the same class of drugs as aspirin (salicylates). It works by increasing the amount of moisture in the skin and dissolving the substance that causes the skin cells to stick together. This makes it easier to shed the skin cells. Warts are caused by a virus. Salicylic acid does not affect the virus.
