Watnil Lotion is combination of Salicylic acid and Lactic acid. Watnil Lotion is used on the skin to treat common skin and foot (plantar) warts.
Benefits of key ingredients in Watnil Lotion:
Salicylic acid helps cause 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 or on moles, birthmarks, warts with hair growing from them, or genital or anal warts.
Salicylic acid is a keratolytic. 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.
Lactic acid increases moisture in the skin by softening/dissolving the horny substance (keratin) holding the top layer of skin cells together. This helps the dead skin cells fall off and helps the skin keep more water in.
Use under medical supervision.
