CORN CAP

How CORN CAP Works

• CORN CAP employs a targeted approach to eliminate corns, leveraging the keratolytic action of salicylic acid. This active ingredient works by softening and dissolving keratin, the protein that makes up the corn's hardened skin. The cap's design ensures that the medication is directly applied to the corn, minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy skin.
• Upon application, the salicylic acid gradually breaks down the tough, thickened skin of the corn. This process, known as chemical debridement, gently exfoliates the dead skin cells layer by layer. The adhesive plaster surrounding the medicated area provides cushioning and protection, relieving pressure and friction that contribute to corn formation and discomfort.
• The continuous application of CORN CAP over several days promotes a gradual reduction in the corn's size and thickness. As the salicylic acid softens and loosens the corn, it becomes easier to remove the dead tissue. The cap also helps to retain moisture, further aiding the softening process. Regular use, as directed, leads to the complete removal of the corn, leaving behind smoother, healthier skin.
• The occlusive nature of the plaster also enhances the penetration of salicylic acid into the corn. By creating a barrier, it prevents the medication from evaporating or being rubbed off, ensuring a consistent and effective dose is delivered to the affected area. This targeted delivery system maximizes the therapeutic effect while minimizing the risk of irritation to the surrounding skin.
• Furthermore, the cushioning effect of the CORN CAP reduces pain and discomfort associated with walking or standing. By protecting the corn from further pressure and friction, it allows the affected area to heal more effectively. The cap's design also helps to prevent the corn from worsening or recurring. The combination of chemical debridement, protection, and pressure relief makes CORN CAP a comprehensive solution for corn removal.

Like all medicines, Corn Caps can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects include: * Skin irritation around the treated area. * Redness. * Itching. * Burning sensation. * Inflammation. Uncommon side effects include: * Allergic reactions (rash, hives, swelling). * Skin damage or ulceration. * Pain.

• If you forget to apply the Corn Cap at the scheduled time, apply it as soon as you remember. Continue with your regular application schedule thereafter. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a forgotten application.

• Keep CORN CAP away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store CORN CAP at room temperature.

• **Clean and Dry:** Always ensure your foot is thoroughly clean and dry before applying the corn cap. This helps the adhesive stick properly and prevents infection.
• **Proper Placement:** Position the corn cap so that the medicated area is directly over the corn. Avoid placing it on healthy skin to prevent irritation.
• **Secure Adhesion:** Press the corn cap firmly to ensure it adheres well to the skin. If it doesn't stick properly, it may not deliver the medication effectively.
• **Wear Comfortable Shoes:** Opt for comfortable, well-fitting shoes to reduce pressure on the corn. Tight shoes can exacerbate the problem and hinder healing.
• **Change Regularly:** Replace the corn cap as directed, usually every 24-48 hours, or as instructed by your doctor or pharmacist. This ensures a consistent dose of medication.
• **Soak Your Feet:** Before applying a fresh corn cap, soak your foot in warm water for about 10-15 minutes. This softens the corn and makes it easier to remove dead skin.
• **Use a Pumice Stone:** After soaking, gently use a pumice stone to remove the softened outer layers of the corn. Be careful not to scrub too hard, as this can cause irritation or infection.
• **Monitor for Irritation:** Check the skin around the corn regularly for any signs of irritation, redness, or swelling. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
• **Avoid Overlapping:** Do not overlap corn caps. Apply a single cap directly to each corn to avoid unnecessary exposure of healthy skin to the medication.
• **Consult a Professional:** If the corn persists, worsens, or shows signs of infection (such as pus or increased pain), consult a podiatrist or healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

• There are no known food interactions with Corn Cap. It is unlikely that food will affect the absorption or effectiveness of the medication when applied topically.
