Treatment of Warts, Corns, and Calluses

Resorcinol softens and removes thickened skin from warts, corns, and calluses by dissolving the connections between dead skin cells. This process helps to reduce the size and discomfort of these conditions.

Resorcinol acts as a keratolytic agent, meaning it promotes the shedding of the outermost layer of skin. This process softens and loosens the thickened, hardened skin that characterizes warts, corns, and calluses. By dissolving the intercellular cement holding the skin cells together, resorcinol facilitates the removal of dead skin cells, leading to a reduction in the size and discomfort associated with these skin conditions.
