Properties

Cornex is a topical gel for the removal of warts and corns.

Indications

Cornex is used to remove Warts and Corns. A wart is a viral infection of the skin surface layer. The incubation period varies from a few weeks to several months. Warts can be spread by contact of the virus with damaged skin, particularly if warm and moist. This is why one of the most common sources of infection is swimming pools. Corns are hard, thick pads of skin caused by pressure and friction. They usually occur on the feet due to poorly fitting shoes. They can also occur on hands. Cornex Gel is suitable for use by adults, children and the elderly.

Allow Cornex to dry and cover with plaster if the wart is large or on foot. Continue using Cemex daily until the wart is completely cleared and the ridge lines of the skin have been restored.
