Soak the affected area in warm water for 2 to 3 minutes. Dry the area thoroughly, using your own towel to avoid spreading infection.
Carefully apply a thin coating (one or two drops) of the gel to the top of the wart, verruca, corn or callus only.
The next evening, carefully peel or pick off the white patch of dried gel from the wart, verruca, corn or callus. Then repeat steps 1 & 2.
Once every week, before applying fresh gel, gently rub the wart, verruca, corn or callus with the emery board provided or a pumice stone.

No. Bazuka gels are not suitable for use by diabetics or patients that have poor peripheral blood circulation.
Pregnant and breast-feeding women should ask their doctor or pharmacist before using any medicine.
Bazuka gels can be used by adults, the elderly and children over 2 years. Children under 12 years should be treated by an adult, and treatment of infants less than 2 years is not recommended. In practice, very young children are unlikely to suffer from verrucas, corns or calluses until they are old enough to walk.
Particularly when treating young children, special care should always be taken to apply the gels carefully and only to the verruca, wart, corn or callus. Avoid excessive use, which may cause irritation. Children's skin tends to be more delicate than that of adults.
Yes. When applied correctly and allowed to dry, Bazuka gels are formulated to provide an adhering water-resistant protective film. This is designed to simulate the role of an adhesive, waterproof plaster, helping reduce the risk of spreading the infection.
Verrucas are frequently contracted from treading on infected skin debris, typically on the floor of gyms, changing rooms or swimming pool surrounds. So, the risk of you spreading infection is reduced if verrucas are covered (by Bazuka gel film, sock or plaster). Better still, by treating verrucas the risk of spreading can be completely avoided.
Once the gel has completely dried on the skin of the mother there is little or no risk of transferring it to the baby's skin, but hand contact with the baby's mouth and eyes should be avoided as a precaution.
No. Do not use Bazuka gels on or near the face, armpits, breasts, bottom or genital (sex) area.
In these cases a doctor should be consulted to confirm the diagnosis and, if appropriate, recommend an alternative method of treatment.
Hairs do not normally grow through warts, so the diagnosis has to be investigated. It is advisable to check with your GP.
The gels should be effective until the expiry date shown on the pack, as long as the cap has been tightly replaced and the tube stored at room temperature (not exceeding 25°C).
If any gel accidentally gets into your eyes, contact a doctor or a hospital immediately, taking the tube of Bazuka gel with you for the doctor's information.
No. It has not been necessary to test Bazuka gels on animals as all the ingredients are already well established in pharmaceutical products.
None of the ingredients of Bazuka gels are of animal origin.
None of the ingredients of Bazuka gels are derived from any nut. In the unlikely event of signs of hypersensitivity, or if there is known sensitivity to an ingredient in the Bazuka gels, then you should stop application immediately.
Yes, although as a precaution, ensure the area is well-ventilated during application. In the unlikely event of signs of hypersensitivity, or if there is known sensitivity to an ingredient in the Bazuka gels, then you should stop application immediately.
Yes. There is no connection between lactose intolerance, which occurs due to a deficiency of the intestinal enzyme lactase, and use of lactic acid. In the unlikely event of signs of hypersensitivity, or if there is known sensitivity to an ingredient in the Bazuka gels, then you should stop application immediately.
Yes, because there is no aspirin in Bazuka gels. Bazuka gels contain salicylic acid which is not the same as acetyl salicylic acid in aspirin.
There are some skin problems, although very rare, that can look quite similar to a wart, verruca, corn or callus. These may be serious and require specialist treatment by a doctor.
