Overview
How do Carnation Corn Caps Plasters eliminate hard corns and relieve pressure?
Carnation Corn Caps Plasters are a targeted medicated treatment designed to loosen, break down, and remove hard corns on toes while insulating the surrounding skin from painful shoe pressure. The active constituent contained within the central medicated ring of Carnation Corn Caps Plasters is salicylic acid (40% w/w). Upon application, Carnation Corn Caps Plasters deliver a concentrated keratolytic agent directly into the hyperkeratotic core of the corn. Salicylic acid acts by softening and dissolving the intercellular cement that binds thickened stratum corneum layers together, causing the corn matrix to macerate and peel away over several days.
What are the design benefits of combining a salicylic acid paste ring with a protective ring paste?
Direct application of high-concentration salicylic acid to healthy surrounding tissue can cause painful epidermal breakdown or ulceration. The primary advantage of Carnation Corn Caps Plasters is the integrated foam felt ring, which encircles the central medicated pad. This ring acts as a mechanical shield that redistributes external pressure away from the tender corn, providing immediate pain relief during walking. Simultaneously, the ring holds the active salicylic acid paste precisely over the corn core, preventing leakage onto normal healthy skin and optimizing drug delivery.
How do Carnation Corn Caps Plasters restore skin smoothness and comfortable mobility?
Friction and constant pressure from tight footwear trigger localised hyperkeratosis, leading to the formation of a dense, conical core that presses inward against dermal nerves. Carnation Corn Caps Plasters address both the underlying mechanical friction and the pathological tissue build-up. By systematically breaking down the dense protein structure of the corn while cushioning the site against further friction, Carnation Corn Caps Plasters enable painless removal of the core and restore comfortable, pain-free mobility.

Usage Instructions
How should Carnation Corn Caps Plasters be applied for optimal clinical results?
Ensure the target foot area is thoroughly washed, clean, and completely dry before application. Remove the backing paper from a Carnation Corn Caps Plaster and align the central medicated red ring directly over the centre of the corn. Press the adhesive straps firmly down against the surrounding skin to anchor the plaster securely in position. Change Carnation Corn Caps Plasters daily, reapplying a fresh plaster after cleansing and drying the area. Continue this daily process for up to 10 to 14 days, or until the corn softens sufficiently to be gently removed with warm water bathing or a clean towel.
Warnings
What critical safety precautions apply when using Carnation Corn Caps Plasters?
Carnation Corn Caps Plasters are strictly for external topical application on toes and feet; do not apply to healthy skin, face, or mucous membranes. Do not use Carnation Corn Caps Plasters if you have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to salicylic acid, salicylates, rubber, or any of the inactive ingredients in the plaster. Do not apply Carnation Corn Caps Plasters to open wounds, broken skin, soft corns between toes, inflamed or infected tissue, or moles.
Crucial Contraindication: Do not use Carnation Corn Caps Plasters if you suffer from diabetes, severe peripheral arterial disease, neuropathy, or circulatory impairment, as impaired wound healing can lead to serious foot ulcers, tissue necrosis, or severe infection.
Discontinue use of Carnation Corn Caps Plasters immediately if severe skin irritation, burning, inflammation, or pain occurs. If the corn persists beyond 14 days of treatment, consult a podiatrist or pharmacist rather than continuing prolonged use. Store Carnation Corn Caps Plasters below 30 degrees Celsius, away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep safely out of the sight and reach of children.
