FAQs

How long does it take to remove a corn?

The time required varies depending on the size and thickness of the corn. Typically, consistent application every 48 hours for 1-2 weeks is needed. For very stubborn corns, longer treatment or professional help may be necessary.

Can I use these plasters if I have diabetes?

Individuals with diabetes or poor blood circulation should consult their doctor or a podiatrist before using corn plasters, as they may have increased risk of complications.

What is the active ingredient for callus removal?

The active ingredient is salicylic acid, which helps to soften and break down the hardened skin of corns and calluses.

How often should I change the plaster?

The plaster should be changed every 48 hours. If it becomes loose or wet before then, it should be replaced.

Can I wear these plasters continuously?

Yes, the plasters are designed for continuous use for up to 48 hours at a time. You can reapply a new one after the previous one is removed and the skin is assessed.

Are Hansaplast corn plasters waterproof?

While they offer strong adhesion, they are not fully waterproof. It is best to change the plaster if it becomes wet.

What should I do after the corn is removed?

After the corn or callus is removed, continue to wear protective footwear and consider using moisturizing creams to keep the skin soft and prevent recurrence. You may need to reapply a plaster if new hardened skin develops.

Troubleshooting

Plaster not adhering well

Ensure the skin is completely clean, dry, and free of oils or lotions. Trim surrounding hair if necessary. Press firmly after application.

Skin irritation or redness after use

Discontinue use immediately if significant irritation occurs. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist. Ensure the plaster is not applied to healthy skin.

Corn returns after treatment

Address the underlying cause, such as ill-fitting footwear. Continue with regular applications as needed, and consider consulting a podiatrist for persistent issues.

Difficulty removing softened skin

Soak the foot in warm water for a longer period. Gently rub with a pumice stone or foot file. Avoid using sharp instruments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the affected area of the skin is clean and dry.
