Wart Removal

Salicylic acid breaks down wart tissue by dissolving keratin. This leads to gradual wart removal.

Wart removal involves the application of high concentrations of salicylic acid to the affected area. Salicylic acid works as a keratolytic, meaning it gradually dissolves keratin, a protein that makes up the bulk of the wart. This process causes the wart tissue to break down and slough off over time, eventually leading to its removal.
