Avoca warts and verruca treatment warnings

Reading the following warnings carefully will help to ensure you are selecting an appropriate product.

This treatment is unsuitable for you if you are allergic to any of its ingredients.

Avoca should not be used on:

• The skin near the eyes
• Genital warts
• Other sensitive areas of skin

Take care once you have begun to dissolve the caustic pencil in water as silver nitrate will stain any absorbent material.

Please read all packaging and the Product Information Leaflet before taking any new medicine and inform your doctor of medicines you are taking or intend to take.

How to use Avoca warts and verruca treatment

1. Before applying silver nitrate to the skin, you will first need to dissolve it in a small amount of water. Only one drop is required. Put one drop in a non-absorbent container.
2. Swirl the tip of the caustic pencil in this drop for roughly 20 seconds. This will allow the active ingredient to dissolve in the water. Keep this water away from any absorbent materials, as it may cause damage or discolouration.
3. Once the tip is wet, touch it very gently to your wart or verruca. Take care as the tip will break if you apply too much pressure.
4. Once the area is dry, some tissue will fall away on its own. Use the emery board after 24 hours to remove the surface layer of the treated area.

This process can be repeated until the wart or verruca has been removed.
