Dr. Scholl’s Corn/Callus Remover Liquid contains 17% salicylic acid, an effective concentration that helps by softening and peeling away the thick, hardened skin on corns or calluses. Unlike corn caps, this liquid dries quickly after application, minimizing contact with surrounding skin, which dermatologists often prefer. Additionally, it includes cushion pads that can be placed around the corn to reduce walking pain.

How to Use Dr. Scholl’s Corn/Callus Remover Liquid

Follow these steps for optimal results:

Step 1: Soak

• Soak your feet in warm water for 5-10 minutes before bed to soften the corn or callus, which helps the solution absorb better. You may skip this once the skin becomes soft; simply wash and dry your feet thoroughly.

Step 2: Rub with a Pumice Stone

• Gently rub the corn or callus with a pumice stone after drying your feet. This step is optional and may be needed only during the first few applications. Apply light pressure to avoid pain.

Step 3: Protect Surrounding Skin

• Apply a thick layer of Vaseline around the corn or callus to shield the normal skin, as the salicylic acid can irritate surrounding areas if it spreads.

Step 4: Apply Dr. Scholl’s Corn Remover Liquid

• Apply the liquid precisely over the corn or callus and let it dry. Its fast-drying colloidal base ensures it stays in place, minimizing the risk of spillage.

Step 5: Use the Protective Pad

• As you continue the treatment, you may notice the skin softening and peeling. If you experience discomfort, apply the protective pad around the corn and secure it with a bandage to ease walking pain.

Step 6: Gently Remove Softened Skin

• Use clean scissors to carefully trim any loose, softened skin. Avoid pulling at it with your fingers.

Step 7: Continue Treatment Until Fully Healed

• Repeat steps 1-6 nightly until you see fingerprint lines in the corn area, indicating full recovery. Many people stop treatment once walking pain subsides, but it’s best to continue until the skin looks normal to prevent recurrence.

Possible Side Effects

• A mild burning or stinging sensation may occur temporarily, but the treatment should be painless overall.
• Take care to avoid contact with normal skin or eyes, as this can cause irritation.
• Keep the product out of reach of children to prevent accidental contact or ingestion, which could be serious
