What precautions should you take when using this product?
- The URGO resistant warts pen contains a corrosive acid. Apply to warts on the HANDS and FEET ONLY.
- If the gel comes into contact with healthy skin, rinse immediately with clean water and soap.
- For external use only.
- On first-time use, apply to a single wart before treating multiple warts.
- Do not expose the treated skin to sunlight until it is fully healed. This skin renewal process can take 4 to 6 weeks. Prolonged sun exposure may cause hypo or hyperpigmentation.
- Do not touch the treated skin - warts are contagious.
- Do not scratch or pull off the treated wart - allow it to fall off naturally.
- Do not bring the product near the mouth or eyes. After treating warts on the hands, wash your hands after 5 minutes to avoid contact with eyes or mucous membranes. If accidental contact with eyes or mucous membranes occurs, rinse thoroughly with clean water and consult your doctor.
- For hygiene reasons, use the pen for a single user. Do not reuse on other users. Discard the pen at the end of treatment.
Avoid contact with jewellery, clothing, fabrics, or furniture - the pen may damage them.
- After each use, gel residue may remain in the cap - handle the cap carefully when opening and closing.
- Keep the treated area clean to prevent infection.
Consult a doctor if:
– the wart has not disappeared after 4 treatment periods (4 weeks);
– you experience irritation, redness or pain;
– the wart is damaged, bleeding, red, or painful, or if the surrounding skin is red or painful.
Why is the product blue?
The gel is slightly blue, which enables a more precise application to the wart.
After application, the treated area may appear slightly blue. This is harmless and disappears easily when rinsed. Take care not to touch the wart which may be contagious.
For warts with calluses, soak the area in hot water and exfoliate before treatment to avoid staining the calluses.
