Using the Salipod patch for calluses and corns


The Salipod patch, prescribed for core calluses, helps eliminate not only the neoplasm itself, but also many of the symptoms characteristic of the growths. The action of this pharmaceutical product is aimed at softening dead skin and exfoliating dead particles.. The unique composition of the solution in which the patch is soaked returns the feet to their former attractiveness within a short period of time. The solipod patch is easy to use and is securely fixed to various parts of the body. Below we will look at how to use Salipod and learn some of the nuances associated with this unique drug.

Shepherd Salipod (corn) - an effective remedy for corns and calluses

Briefly about the drug

Composition of the Salipod patch (see photo):

  • salicylic acid (32%) is the main active ingredient. Causes softening of the surface layer of the skin.
  • sulfur (8%) is a bactericidal agent. Kills bacteria and fungi that may develop in the surrounding layers of skin.
  • excipients (lanolin, rubber, rosin)

Analogues: any keratolytic ointments and plasters. For example, Vartox paste - read about Vartox in detail.

Description of the product

Infection with the HPV virus occurs in most people in childhood; the virus enters the body through defects in the skin and waits in the cells for the moment the immune system weakens. It is for this reason that plantar warts occur after illness, prolonged stress, moving to another area (different time zone, climate zone) - all these factors weaken the immune system. The peculiarity of plantar warts is also that, unlike neoplasms on other parts of the body, they not only bring aesthetic discomfort, but also quite physical inconvenience. If there is such a problem, it becomes difficult for a person to walk or wear certain types of shoes, the wart itself can hurt and become inflamed, and secondary foci of papillomavirus infection can arise around it.

Removal of plantar warts is very often necessary due to specific physical inconveniences of a person when walking. At the same time, aesthetic discomfort (as in the case of warts and papillomas on the face, hands, body) fades into the background.

Elimination of these neoplasms using traditional methods (freezing, laser cauterization, electrocoagulation) is often associated with a number of difficulties due to the dense structure and deep location of the main “body”. Often, after such a procedure, a painful “hole” remains in place of the spine; a person cannot walk for several days or even weeks and loses his ability to work. The Salipod patch is devoid of these disadvantages and is able to eliminate the irritating tumor in a relatively short time without pain or other negative consequences.

The patch is an elastic plate that is sold in two main formats - 2 by 10 centimeters and 6 by 10 centimeters. Since Salipod itself sticks to the skin rather poorly, an ordinary adhesive plaster is also sold with it, with the help of which a plate with active ingredients is fixed to the problem area of ​​the body. Salipod includes two main active components, as well as a number of auxiliary compounds that form the basis of the patch. The active compounds of this drug include the following:

  1. Salicylic acid is a substance that is quite actively used in modern cosmetology as part of ointments, creams, masks, scrubs and other products. This acid itself has an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect, in addition, it exhibits so-called keratolytic properties. Penetrating deep into the epidermis, it creates an area with an acidic environment, which disrupts the connections between keratocytes (cells of the surface layers of the skin) and promotes their separation. In addition, due to its moderate irritant effect, salicylic acid in the Salipod patch improves the processes of local blood circulation and local immunity.
  2. Precipitated sulfur is the second active component of Salipod. Thanks to its presence, the patch has the ability to dry the skin, which, combined with the effect of salicylic acid, accelerates the rejection of epidermal cells affected by the human papillomavirus.

The excipients of the patch include natural rubber, pine rosin and anhydrous lanolin. These substances form the basis of Salipod and give it elasticity. Unfortunately, experts do not recommend using the patch on other areas of the body besides the feet and soles - thin and delicate skin can easily be damaged, and the likelihood of side effects and complications increases.

Instructions for use

For calluses and corns

So, how to use Salipod:

1) Wash and steam your foot in warm water for 10 minutes, wipe it dry

2) Cut out an area the size of a callus from the brown plaster

3) Remove the protective film from the cut piece

4) Stick on the affected skin

5) Stick a regular white plaster on top - it is just needed for fixation.

6) After a day (for large calluses - after two days), remove everything. Remove carefully, smoothly, without jerking, so as not to tear off along with the skin.

7) If the corn or callus is just as hard, repeat the procedure again.

8) If it has become soft and mobile, then let the whole thing dry out, don’t glue anything else. The softened and exfoliated skin will gradually dry out and peel off on its own (within 7-10 days).

How to use Salipod for warts and spines

The instructions are approximately the same as for corns.

1) Only the gluing time is 1 day.

2) After a day, carefully remove the patch. The result will be a picture similar to this photo.

3) Cut the spine with nail scissors at the root, parallel to the skin. There is no need to rub with a pumice stone - if you erase the surrounding healthy skin, there will be a wound.

4) Apply the callus patch again directly to the cut site of the spine for a day. On top is a regular patch.

5) The next day, remove the patch - let the wound dry out on its own and the old skin come off.

6) Attention: try not to stick the patch on healthy skin to avoid peeling and creating a painful wound.

7) After three days, the picture will look approximately like the one in the photo below. That is, the wart did not go away. Not only that, but it continues to grow. The reason for the ineffectiveness of treating warts with salipod is that it does not kill the human papillomavirus, which causes the growth of the spine. A callus patch simply softens the skin on and around the surface of the wart.

8) The further task is to influence the wart with cauterizing substances. For example, solcoderm, duofilm, super celandine (more about super celandine). Either remove it with a laser (read about laser removal of warts) or liquid nitrogen (read more about cryodestruction of warts with nitrogen).

Treatment of spines and warts

Salipod is very often used to remove warts and papillomas .

Salicylic acid has a softening effect on warts, and sulfur dries and kills germs.

After applying the Salipod patch, the warts dry out, become smaller and, as a result, are rejected .

When treating warts and spines, the procedure is performed in the same way as when removing calluses. The difference lies in the exposure time: the patch must be kept on the wart for 24 hours .

After removing the patch:

  • Carefully cut off the spine at skin level using nail scissors. It is not recommended to use pumice for these purposes - it can erase areas of healthy skin, causing it to become infected;
  • again stick Salipod on the cut site for a day, secure with adhesive tape;
  • After removal, leave the wound to dry.

After treatment, the wart will become softer and decrease in size.

Note! With the help of external means it is impossible to completely get rid of warts and spines, since the cause of their formation is the papillomavirus, the treatment of which, along with the use of patches and ointments, consists of taking immunomodulating and antiviral agents.

Reviews

For more than 50 years, Salipod has been used by dermatologists in Russia and the CIS countries as a cheap and effective remedy for softening keratinized skin. And so far the reviews among doctors and patients are only positive.

The effectiveness of treatment with a patch depends on a number of reasons: the size and age of the callus or corns, the age of the patient, and the state of the immune system.

Average healing time: 3-5 days for small corns, 5-7 days for old dry calluses.

Attention: if the doctor did not answer your question, then the answer is already on the pages of the site. Use the search on the site.

Many people know what calluses are. Uncomfortable or tight shoes can chafe your feet, causing painful blisters. When such exposure continues for a long time, the skin becomes coarser and thickens. Dry calluses form, which grow deep into the soft tissues, forming something like a root or rod. For this they received the name core. Such formations are very difficult to remove, and they often cause very severe pain when walking. There are many medications available for this purpose, but not all of them are effective. The most popular remedy is the Salipod patch for core calluses. Reviews of the application note that with its help you can easily get rid of even old hard formations.

When to expect results

The effect of the patch does not appear immediately. With regular use, the first effect appears after a few days. This is due to the fact that the active substance needs to dry the callus from the outside and exhibit antiseptic and absorbent properties inside the skin. The callus has a root that grows deep into the skin and causes pain when subjected to mechanical action. The components of the patch dry and pull out this rod, softening the surface of the callus formation.

If you follow all the recommendations, the first results will appear within a week. The pain will go away, it will be possible to walk and wear shoes. Further treatment depends on the neglect of the callus and compliance with care rules. The maximum period is 1 month. If no improvement is observed during the treatment process, the patch may not be suitable for your specific case of callus formation and you should consult a medical specialist.

What are core calluses?

A special feature of this type of callus is a core deeply embedded in the soft tissue. Therefore, it is very difficult to remove them. Using conventional methods, only the upper part of the callus is softened, and the root is not affected.

A callus appears due to prolonged exposure to one area of ​​the skin of any irritants. Most often these are uncomfortable shoes. Therefore, such calluses appear mainly on the soles of the feet, most often on protruding places, in the area of ​​​​contact with shoes or between the toes. They can form in athletes, in people who are overweight or who spend a long time on their feet.

Terms of use

A callus patch called Salipod is used for the treatment and removal of dry calluses, calluses, spines, and warts. The product helps soften bone formations on the toes that appear as a result of the accumulation of calcium salts. Use the Salipod adhesive plaster according to the instructions for use:

  • make a warm foot bath for 10-15 minutes;
  • clean the skin with soap or any antiseptic;
  • wipe your feet dry;
  • remove the protective layer from the patch;
  • stick on the affected area of ​​skin.

Features of the Salipod patch

This product is intended to combat various types of keratoses - that is, keratinization of the skin. The Salipod patch softens rough areas of the epidermis, exfoliating its upper layers. In addition, it has an antiseptic effect, killing all pathogenic microorganisms and preventing infection. Therefore, it is best suited for removing calluses and corns.

The “Salipod” patch is a regular adhesive plaster with a medicinal composition applied to it. Its top layer is impregnated with a special substance that does not allow water to pass through. The patch is available in paper packaging. Its dimensions can be 10X2 cm or 10X6 cm. A cardboard box usually contains several patches, and the kit also includes a regular adhesive plaster. It allows you to better fix the treatment on the skin. Due to ease of use, high efficiency and affordable cost, the Salipod patch for core calluses is very popular. Its price, depending on the place of sale, manufacturer and form of release, ranges from 30 to 80 rubles.

Rules for using the patch

Before applying the patch, you should undergo preliminary preparation . To do this, you need to steam your feet well in warm water. Many experts recommend using a highly concentrated saline solution when steaming. After your feet have been thoroughly dried, cut off the required piece of the patch. After the protective tape is separated from the top strip, the patch is applied to the neoplasm.

The medicine should be worn for at least forty-eight hours. If the desired result was not achieved the first time, you should repeat the procedure. In the case of calluses that have a deeply embedded core, five procedures may be required to treat the growth.

Rules for use for warts

In order to remove warts, you should use Salipod in combination with an adhesive plaster that will hold the medicine in place. In order to avoid exposure of the drug to healthy areas of the skin, certain rules should be followed. First, you should measure the diameter of the wart, and then cut off the required piece from the patch. After this, you need to remove the protective film from the medicine and place the strip on top of the tumor. An adhesive plaster is used to secure the patch to the growth.

In order to increase the effectiveness of the medication, you should first steam the growth. The patch should be kept on for at least two days. After removing the patch, you need to cut off the exfoliated skin. If it was not possible to achieve the desired effect the first time, you should repeat the application.


The patch contains components that effectively combat keratinization of the skin and act as an antiseptic.

Rules for use for calluses

The solipid callus patch should be fixed so that the treatment strips do not affect healthy areas of the body located near the calluses. Also, experts do not recommend using the drug in question for fixing erosions or cracks caused by bacterial infections of the skin. Before applying the application, you need to steam your feet in a warm salt solution or iodine solution.

It is not recommended to apply the patch completely, as such an action can injure the tissues surrounding the corns. The patch should be kept for no more than two days; after removing the application, the softened skin should be carefully removed using pumice.

Rules for use in the treatment of spine

The patch should be used according to the rules described above, however, in this case, the duration of wearing the medicine is reduced to twenty-four hours. After the required piece of plaster is applied to the neoplasm, it should be carefully fixed with an adhesive plaster. After twenty-four hours, the patch is removed. The softened tumor should be cut off using nail scissors.

The scissors used should be pre-disinfected in order to prevent infection. In this situation, it is not recommended to use pumice, as this approach can injure healthy tissue. Applications should be made three times in order to dry the injured tissues and remove dead skin layers.

It is recommended to use the Salipod patch for corns only as part of complex therapy, in combination with various cauterizing medications. In order to get rid of growths that have a deeply embedded core, manipulations will be required that destroy the root of the tumors. Most often, the roots of warts, calluses and papillomas grow deep into the epithelium. In order to get rid of them, it is recommended to use solipod tape in combination with drugs such as Duofilm, Solcoderm and Superchistotel. In some cases, a laser removal procedure may be required.


Salipod is used to remove warts, corns, dry and calluses

Benefits of use

Quite often, calluses cause a lot of suffering to a person. Many people try to get rid of them using folk remedies, making various baths or compresses. But this is quite labor-intensive and not always effective. It is much more convenient to use special medications. Of these, the most popular is the “Salipod” patch for core calluses. Reviews note that it has the following advantages over other similar drugs:

  • in addition to removing fresh calluses, it is effective against old formations with roots;
  • it not only softens dead skin, but also relieves pain;
  • It is easy to use at home; in most cases, calluses disappear on their own;
  • the acidic environment created by the main active ingredient of the patch prevents the development of fungal diseases;
  • in addition to softening components, it contains antiseptics that prevent wound infection;
  • The use of the patch has almost no side effects on the surrounding skin.

Possible side effects

Salipod adhesive tape for core calluses has a number of side effects that occur quite rarely. The body may respond to the application of the patch with an allergic reaction, which is expressed in the form of symptoms such as:

  • itching;
  • burning;
  • redness.

The above symptoms disappear on their own and do not require discontinuation of treatment. In the case where red spots form in the area where the medication is applied, this sign is one of the symptoms of the development of dermatitis. In order to avoid possible complications, it is recommended to discontinue therapy. This recommendation should be used if signs of inflammation, swelling and attacks of acute pain appear.


It is recommended to stick Salipod so as not to touch healthy skin

Why is this remedy so effective?

The “Salipod” patch for dry calluses is used quite often, even doctors prescribe it. Its effectiveness is associated with a unique composition, thanks to which it not only softens dead skin, but removes inflammation and prevents infection of the wound after a callus. This occurs due to the inclusion of the following components in Salipod:

  • salicylic acid has a keratolytic, antibacterial and antifungal effect, exfoliates the upper cells of the epidermis and promotes the rapid penetration of other substances into the deeper layers of the skin;
  • sulfur destroys microbes and promotes healing of damaged skin;
  • excipients that soften calluses are lanolin and rubber, they complement and enhance the effect of the main components;
  • Pine rosin is a strong antibacterial agent; it prevents infection from developing.

Chemical composition

This medicine is made in the form of two strips of different sizes, tightly adjacent to each other. The top strip has a small width and is impregnated with a special composition. The bottom strip is a regular adhesive plaster for fixing the medicine on various parts of the body. A special protective tape is applied over the adhesive layer, which should be removed before the skin treatment procedure.

The main component in this drug is salicylic acid. Among the additional substances, elements such as precipitated sulfur, pine rosin, anhydrous lanolin and natural rubber should be highlighted.

Indications for use of the patch

The adhesive plaster "Salipod" has a wide spectrum of action. It is sold in pharmacies without a doctor's prescription. It is used for varying degrees of skin callus. "Salipod" is effective in the following cases:

  • for dry calluses;
  • corns;
  • core calluses;
  • plantar warts and spines.

This product allows you to gently and painlessly remove dead skin in just a few applications. But if you have plantar warts, it must be used in combination with special products. After all, they are caused by the human papillomavirus, against which the patch is ineffective. You should not use this remedy also for wet calluses, because the substances included in its composition are quite aggressive and soften the skin. Therefore, it is best to use the Salipod patch for corns and dry calluses.

Cost of the patch

You can purchase the drug in question either in a pharmacy or on a specialized Internet site. When purchasing medicine online, you should make sure that the site you choose has all the necessary licenses and other documents permitting the sale of pharmaceutical products.

The price of the Salipod patch for calluses (2x10 centimeters) varies from fifty to sixty rubles. The cost of a 6x10 centimeter tape is about sixty-five rubles. A package containing 11 patches costs a little more than one hundred rubles.

This drug is commercially available, that is, it can be purchased without a prescription from a specialist. The shelf life of the drug is two years from the date of manufacture. It is forbidden to use a drug that has expired, as this situation significantly increases the risk of side effects. The medicine should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Result of application

People like the effectiveness of the Salipod patch for core calluses. Reviews note that it softens the skin well. Fresh calluses and corns are eliminated even after one application, but to remove old calluses with a stick, you may need to stick the patch 2-3 times. But to remove them, you don’t need to use additional means, and you don’t have to contact a specialist. In most cases, the callus disappears on its own, although sometimes it needs to be cut off. But the skin after “Salipod” becomes very tender and sensitive, so all manipulations must be carried out carefully.

To effectively complete the treatment process, it is recommended to proceed as follows: after removing the patch, keep your foot a little in warm water. Then gently rub with a pumice stone, removing the softened upper layers of callus. Do not make any effort to avoid damaging the skin. In most cases, in 1-2 procedures the entire callus disappears. For old corns and calluses with a deep core, it may additionally be necessary to use ointments, for example, “Nemozol”. It can be applied in a thin layer under the patch. This will increase the effectiveness of the impact.

Advantages

  • budget price. The cost of a Salipod package varies between 40-80 rubles;
  • ease of use. There is no need to dilute, smear or rub in anything. It is enough to stick the patch on the problem area and leave it for the time specified in the instructions;
  • versatility. Salipod can be used not only for calluses and corns, but also for spines and warts that do not have a stem;
  • complex impact. In addition to softening calluses, the patch fights germs and skin fungi;
  • does not require medical consultation provided that the instructions are strictly followed.

Advantages when removing calluses

When removing core calluses, as a result of softening, the core is exposed, which can be removed using sterile (treated with alcohol or boiled) tweezers .

“Salipod” patch for core calluses: instructions

Using this tool is very simple. Many people like that they do not need to carry out special manipulations, use ointment or other drugs. It is also not necessary to precisely monitor the time of application. The patch is simply glued to the callus and removed after 2 days. But to increase the effectiveness of treatment, as well as to prevent side effects, you need to strictly follow the instructions and follow some rules.

  • To increase the effectiveness of treatment, you must first steam your foot in a soap and soda bath. Carry out the procedure for at least 10 minutes, then dry your feet thoroughly.
  • Cut a small piece from the patch exactly to the size of the callus. Warm the patch in your palms and remove the protective film.
  • It is advisable that the medicinal composition does not come into contact with healthy skin. To avoid this, you can seal it with a regular plaster, in which a hole is made according to the size of the callus.
  • To better fix the Salipod, you need to stick a regular adhesive plaster on top of it. Then he will stay on his leg for the required time. For the same purpose, it is necessary to avoid using ointments and creams before applying the patch.
  • You need to keep “Salipod” on the skin for 1-2 days. Fresh calluses are removed within 24 hours; old growths require more time to treat. But you cannot keep the patch on for longer than 48 hours.
  • After removing the patch, you need to wash your foot. If the callus has softened, its use is no longer required, but sometimes it is necessary to repeat the procedure 2-3 more times.

How to apply it correctly?

Core calluses are very dangerous because they grow deeply into the soft tissue. The patch quickly softens the keratinized area and destroys the painful formation in a few days.

Instructions for use are simple.

  1. Before treating calluses, steam them in hot water and dry the problem area thoroughly.
  2. Take the “Salipod” medicinal patch, warm it with the warmth of your hands, remove the special layer of protection and apply it to the keratinized painful area.
  3. Secure the top tightly with a regular strip of plaster and do not remove for 2 days.

Features of application

Like any other medicine, the Salipod patch has some features and limitations in use. It is advisable to consult a doctor before using it, especially if you are taking other medications. Salicylic acid, which is part of the patch, is incompatible with antitumor drugs, sulfonylureas and those used to treat hypoglycemia. The use of Salipod in combination with Resorcinol cream is contraindicated. In addition, salicylic acid is incompatible with zinc oxide. And it is often included in toothpaste and other cosmetics.

The patch itself contains an adhesive layer and a waterproof surface. But it is still recommended to stick a regular adhesive plaster on top of it. This ensures that the treatment layer does not move out of place.

Due to the presence of salicylic acid, the patch should not be left on the skin for longer than 48 hours. After removing it, you need to wash your skin. The adhesive from the adhesive plaster may not come off immediately, but do not rub it as salicylic acid makes the skin sensitive. Because of it, wounds or small cracks may appear next to the callus. In patients with diabetes, such skin lesions heal very poorly. Therefore, it is better for diabetics not to use Salipod.

Why does the patch help?

“Salipod” removes the stratum corneum of the skin and destroys microorganisms that cause inflammation. Therefore, many doctors recommend it for the gentle and quick removal of calluses with a core. The effectiveness of the product is influenced by the components included in its composition.

  1. The main active medicinal substance is salicylic acid. It provides anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, which reduces the risk of developing a fungal infection.
  2. Sulfur actively fights germs and dries out the skin.
  3. Rubber, lanolin and rosin act as auxiliary agents to soften calluses and enhance the action of the main components.

The drug is sold in paper packages. There is a 6x10 release form that contains only medicinal brown strips. In the 2x10 form, in addition to the medication patch, there is a white regular patch for fixation.

Contraindications and side effects

Treatment with Salipod, judging by numerous reviews, is effective, but it is not suitable for everyone. After all, the main active ingredient of the patch, salicylic acid, is a rather aggressive agent. It can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, and even burns if used incorrectly. After sticking the patch, burning, itching, and redness of the skin may occur. It is advisable to remove it in this case. The reason for this may be either individual intolerance, or improper use when the patch is glued to healthy skin.

Therefore, the use of Salipod is contraindicated in the following cases:

  • with individual intolerance;
  • if there are moles, wounds or inflammatory diseases on the area of ​​the skin that should be treated;
  • during pregnancy and lactation;
  • children under 10 years old;
  • with renal failure;
  • when taking certain medications.

Price and analogues

"Salipod" is sold in every pharmacy. This good and inexpensive medicine has proven itself positively in the domestic market. Since one-time use of the product is usually not enough, it is supplied in several pieces. The cost is determined depending on the form of release and packaging. On average, it ranges from 45 to 100 rubles.

"Salipod" copes with its task perfectly, but if desired, it can be replaced with other medications. Good reviews are left after using Mozolin. This liquid removes corns and dead skin from the heels. It is somewhat more expensive than Salipod: the price varies between 90-200 rubles.

It is worth noting one more patch - “Compid”. It instantly relieves pain and heals damaged skin. The drug is available in various sizes and shapes. Therefore, before purchasing, you need to find out the purpose of the patch in order to make the right purchase.

With the participation of "Salipod" calluses quickly disappear, but it is better to prevent their occurrence. To do this, you should buy comfortable, high-quality shoes with orthopedic insoles and monitor your posture. Wash your feet thoroughly, regularly clean the stratum corneum, soften the skin with cream and observe personal hygiene rules. This will reduce the likelihood of such a nuisance as calluses.

Analogues of the drug

The Salipod patch is considered the most affordable and effective remedy for dry calluses. You can buy it at any pharmacy, especially since the price is quite low. But in some cases, for example, due to individual intolerance, patients are not able to use Salipod. Its analogues will be preferable. You can use one of the remedies that have a similar effect:

  • the Chinese Enzi patch also contains salicylic acid, but in addition to it, it also contains propolis and herbal extracts;
  • liquid "Mozolin" effectively removes dead skin, copes with calluses and corns and is not much more expensive than "Salipod" - 100-150 rubles;
  • the “Compid” patch, in addition to softening keratinized skin, quickly relieves pain and prevents the development of infection, it is available in different versions, and one patch costs an average of 50 rubles;
  • Sophia cream with leech and urea softens rough skin well, but is not effective for removing the core of dry calluses.

Popular analogues

To date, there are no structural analogues of the drug in question. However, there are a number of medications included in this group of drugs that have a similar spectrum of therapeutic effects. These drugs are produced by both domestic manufacturers and foreign pharmaceutical companies. Among the most effective medicines for combating corns and calluses are:

  • plasters – “Compid”, “Mozolin”;
  • solution – “Verrukatsid”;
  • ointments - “Hemosol”, “Papillek”, “Ferezol”, “Flexitol” and “Namozol 911”.

“Salipod” patch for core calluses: reviews

Many people suffer from calluses for a long time. They try different means, but they write that removing the rod itself is painful and very difficult. And only the Salipod patch helps to quickly soften rough tissue not only on the surface, but also in the deep layers of the epidermis. This is due to the salicylic acid it contains. Reviews mostly note that it does not cause any negative reactions. And it removes calluses gently but effectively. Many people write that nothing helped them, and only 3 applications of the Salipod patch allowed them to cleanse the skin of their feet and make them smooth and soft again.

The Salipod patch quickly deals with dry calluses. But it’s better to prevent them from appearing. To do this, you need to follow the rules of foot hygiene, regularly remove rough skin, and lubricate your feet with cream. To prevent calluses from appearing, you need to wear comfortable shoes and promptly treat pathologies of the musculoskeletal system.

The modern medicine market offers many products for removing skin growths. Salicylic acid is used to make most of these medications. Salipod wart patch is one of these medications.

When should you use Salipod?

The Salipod patch, the instructions for use of which indicate that the medication is used exclusively for external application, is used in the treatment of the following neoplasms:

  • warts;
  • core and dry calluses;
  • spines;
  • corns.


Salipod is a cheap keratolytic (softening keratinized skin) product

This medication can also be used to soften “bony growths” in the big toes. Such growths most often form during prolonged use of high-heeled shoes. In addition, these neoplasms can occur against the background of an increased amount of calcium in the internal environment of the body.

In the pharmacological classification, the drug in question is included in the group of medications whose action is aimed at eliminating calluses and warts. Salipod is manufactured in the form of a therapeutic patch, which is easy to apply and securely fixed to the skin. This medicine can be used in the fight against various types of growths, the reason for the appearance of which lies in the activity of pathogenic microorganisms.

In addition to the softening effect, the solipod patch accelerates the regeneration of damaged cells, which allows it to be used for the treatment of cracks in the foot area.

How does the treatment patch work?

The main active ingredient in the wart patch is salicylic acid. Under the influence of acid, the neoplasm softens, making it easier to remove during hygiene procedures. Salipod contains another chemical substance - sulfur. It is salicylic acid that helps sulfur penetrate deep into the skin. This drug combination enhances the antimicrobial effect of the Salipod adhesive plaster.

Sulfur in combination with salicylic acid has a keratolytic effect on both the wart and the surrounding tissue. This action of two substances helps prevent and suppress fungal and bacterial infections. The acidic reaction of salicylate negatively affects the tissues that make up warts. Sulfur is an effective drying agent. The main effect of the patch is not only its ability to soften growths, but also its ability to strengthen local immunity. This occurs due to skin irritation from the effects of the drug.

Mechanism of action

The unique composition with which the patch is impregnated gives Salipod an antiseptic and keratolytic effect. The salicylic acid used in this product softens rough tissue and reduces the length of time required for sulfur to penetrate into the very center of the growth. Precipitated sulfur helps eliminate existing bacteria and effectively exfoliates dead skin cells. The use of the patch not only promotes the death of bacteria and exfoliation of dead tissue, but also has an antiseptic effect on the lesion . Thus, the use of Salipod allows you to avoid inflammation and secondary infection.

In addition to softening growths and removing keratinized elements of the dermis, sulfur normalizes the acid-base balance in the body. The action of pine rosin is aimed at eliminating pathogens present on the surface of the skin. Lanolin and rubber, acting as additional components, are directly involved in regeneration processes. The action of this unique composition is aimed at drying out the tumor and creating a natural barrier that prevents the spread of bacteria to healthy areas of the skin.

Method of application and contraindications

Before use, you need to take a warm bath and dry the skin surface with a towel or napkin. A piece of adhesive tape of the required size is tightly glued to the wart. The adhesive plaster is left in this position for two days. After 2 days, the patch is carefully removed, and the growth is additionally soaked in warm water for 5 minutes. And only after this, the softened layer of the neoplasm is carefully cleaned off. Pumice is used for the cleaning procedure. After washing and thoroughly drying the skin surface, Salipod is applied again. Treatment of neoplasms in this way is carried out until they completely disappear. Most often, 3-4 procedures are required, but longer treatment is possible.

Salipod is not allowed to be used during pregnancy or in case of renal failure. Do not use the wart patch if you are allergic to salicylates. People suffering from various types of allergies and especially patients with bronchial asthma should be wary of treatment with Salipod. Such people should choose other ways to get rid of tumors.

This medicine should not be used to remove warts in children. The danger of using salicylic acid in pregnant women and children is associated with the high toxicity of salicylates. A particularly dangerous condition caused by salicylic acid can be Reye's syndrome.

Do not apply an adhesive plaster to a skin surface damaged by a burn or wound. One of the contraindications to the use of the patch is the incompatibility of salicylic acid with zinc preparations and resorcinol. Simultaneous treatment with these drugs should not be carried out. Salicylic acid may enhance the side effects of hypoglycemic (glucose-lowering) drugs taken orally.

Recommendations from experts

In order to speed up recovery and avoid a negative response from the body, you should strictly adhere to the rules for using medicinal patches. One of these rules states that the drug in question cannot be used if there are microcracks, open wounds or burn injuries on the skin. In addition, it is prohibited to use solipod tape to soften neoplasms of an unknown type.

In order to increase the penetrating ability of the active components of the drug, you should first steam your feet in warm water or a strong salt solution. This medicine in combination with resorcinol or zinc oxide may cause a negative reaction from the body. In addition, caution should be exercised in the simultaneous use of salicylic acid-based products and hypoglycemic drugs.

Instructions for use

For calluses and corns

So, how to use Salipod:

1) Wash and steam your foot in warm water for 10 minutes, wipe it dry

2) Cut out an area the size of a callus from the brown plaster

3) Remove the protective film from the cut piece

4) Stick on the affected skin

5) Stick a regular white plaster on top - it is just needed for fixation.

6) After a day (for large calluses - after two days), remove everything. Remove carefully, smoothly, without jerking, so as not to tear off along with the skin.

7) If the corn or callus is just as hard, repeat the procedure again.

8) If it has become soft and mobile, then let the whole thing dry out, don’t glue anything else. The softened and exfoliated skin will gradually dry out and peel off on its own (within 7-10 days).

How to use Salipod for warts and spines

The instructions are approximately the same as for corns.

1) Only the gluing time is 1 day.

2) After a day, carefully remove the patch. The result will be a picture similar to this photo.

3) Cut the spine with nail scissors at the root, parallel to the skin. There is no need to rub with a pumice stone - if you erase the surrounding healthy skin, there will be a wound.

4) Apply the callus patch again directly to the cut site of the spine for a day. On top is a regular patch.

5) The next day, remove the patch - let the wound dry out on its own and the old skin come off.

6) Attention: try not to stick the patch on healthy skin to avoid peeling and creating a painful wound.

7) After three days, the picture will look approximately like the one in the photo below.

That is, the wart did not go away. Not only that, but it continues to grow. The reason for the ineffectiveness of treating warts with salipod is that it does not kill the human papillomavirus, which causes the growth of the spine. A callus patch simply softens the skin on and around the surface of the wart.

8) The further task is to influence the wart with cauterizing substances. For example, solcoderm, duofilm, super celandine (more about super celandine). Either remove it with a laser (a href=»/borodavki/31-udalenie-borodavok-i-papillom-lazerom-foto-do-i-posle-otzyvy-protivopokazaniya»>read about laser removal of warts) or liquid nitrogen (more about cryodestruction warts with nitrogen).

Never use Salipod callus patch in the following cases:

  • Moles
  • On healthy skin
  • In children under 10 years of age (they have delicate skin)
  • During pregnancy
  • Pimples and ulcers on the skin
  • Open wounds and skin cracks
  • Opened calluses with fluid
  • Allergic reactions to salicylic acid or sulfur

For more than 50 years, Salipod has been used by dermatologists in Russia and the CIS countries as a cheap and effective remedy for softening keratinized skin. And so far the reviews among doctors and patients are only positive.

The effectiveness of treatment with a patch depends on a number of reasons: the size and age of the callus or corns, the age of the patient, and the state of the immune system.

Average healing time: 3-5 days for small corns, 5-7 days for old dry calluses.

Consultations, reviews, questions and answers

Here's my advice: buy a SALIPODE patch and cover each wart for two weeks. It is advisable not to tape most of the skin around the wart, as it is very corrosive, but that’s okay. The main thing is that the warts are completely covered. Change every 12 hours. Try not to get the area wet. Yes, the warts will become ugly. After two weeks, you will notice that a black dot has appeared inside the wart. Do this for a week until everything dries and as soon as you can easily tear off the crust with a black dot on the spine, proceed with confidence. In a couple of days there will be nothing left. Tested for myself. Long but effective.

Composition and principle of action

According to the pharmacological classification, Salipod is classified as a dermatotropic drug against calluses and warts. Product components:

  • salicylic acid,
  • sulfur,
  • lanolin,
  • rosin,
  • rubber.

The main active ingredient in the medicinal composition of the Salipod patch is salicylic acid. It has keratolytic, antifungal, antimicrobial properties, softens the dense stratum corneum of calluses, and promotes the penetration of other medicinal substances under the skin. » alt=»»> Sulfur has a drying and healing effect when, under the influence of salicylic acid, a weeping wound forms at the site of the callus. Pine rosin, acting bactericidal, destroys pathogenic microorganisms, preventing them from penetrating deep into the dermis. Lanolin forms the ointment base of the medicine and promotes tissue softening and regeneration. Rubber acts as a binding component, giving the patch plastic and adhesive properties.

The medicinal composition is applied to a special medical fabric. This material is durable and soft at the same time, which minimizes friction between the foot and the shoe. The outer layer of the patch is impregnated with a substance that does not allow moisture to pass through.

For ease of use, the anti-corn preparation is available in two modifications: strips with a protective coating measuring 10x2 cm, 10x6 cm.

The product is sealed in a paper bag with instructions printed on the back side. In addition, a regular adhesive plaster is included in the package for additional fixation of the medicinal product. Shelf life – 2 years of storage in a dry place at room temperature.

Callus with a core - how to get rid of the problem?

Initially, it is best to consult a doctor, even in cases where the formation does not cause discomfort. The fact is that over time, such a callus can grow and then its surgical removal will be required. Do not wait and do not allow such situations, because it is quite possible to get rid of callous formations at home, the main thing is to consult a doctor in a timely manner and get advice. After examination, it is the doctor who will be able to realistically assess the situation, prescribe treatment or recommend surgical intervention.

A callus is a new growth on the skin that looks like a cap with a small depression in the middle. This is where the rod itself is located, which must be removed to completely get rid of the callus. This can be done using special means - ointments, gels, patches. At home, foot baths, compresses and lotions help a lot. Any remedy should be used only after consultation with a doctor; self-medication can lead to quite unpleasant consequences.

Rules of application

Before using the patch, you need to wash your feet, it is advisable to make a foot bath with soda: 3 large spoons of soda per 2 liters of hot water. After this, the skin is thoroughly dried, a piece of plaster is cut out, equal in area to the surface of the callus, applied and secured on the leg with a regular adhesive plaster.

After two days, the patch is removed, a warm foot bath is taken again, and the softened areas of the stratum corneum are removed using a pumice stone or a special nail file. In this case, there is no need to exert much physical effort, since the callus is macerated under the influence of the patch and easily separates from healthy tissue.

Salipod for corns is enough to apply once. If the callus is old, you have to repeat the procedure several times.

After Salipod therapy, damage to the surface layer of the epidermis remains on the feet, so you should choose more comfortable shoes to prevent injury. If the foot is positioned incorrectly, it is recommended to wear special orthopedic pads.

If, despite repeated attempts to remove dry calluses with Salipod, part of the rod still remains deep in the dermis, you should consult a dermatologist . He will select other methods for removing pathological formations:

  • laser therapy,
  • cryodestruction,
  • surgical intervention.

Callus patch Salipod: removal instructions, price, reviews

Uncomfortable and tight shoes cause discomfort and chafe your feet.
Painful blisters appear at the very beginning. Over time, they begin to become coarser, the keratinized layers thicken, after which dry patches of skin form.

If nothing is done, they gradually grow into soft tissues, where rod growths appear. The Salipod callus patch will help deal with such problems.

Composition and properties

In order to get rid of skin defects in the area of ​​​​the feet, various ointments and patches are used. The Salipod adhesive plaster provides the most effective results. With its help you can get rid of corns and calluses. The keratinized areas of the skin are effectively softened thanks to the medicinal composition of the product. These are antiseptic and emollient components.

The main substance in the composition is salicylic acid, which can prevent the development of beneficial microflora for bacteria. This component tends to maintain an acidic environment in the problem area, preventing fungus from appearing. Over time, the therapeutic mass of the patch gently exfoliates dead skin and helps in removing dead cells.

The sulfur in the composition has a bactericidal effect on keratinized areas. It does not allow bacteria and fungi to develop in the problem area. Together with salicylic acid, both substances dry out the skin surface. As a result, the core growths soften well and peel off faster.

The composition of the medicinal mass also includes other auxiliary components:

  • lanolin;
  • pine rosin;
  • rubber.

Together with the main components, they enhance the effect of medicinal Salipod and kill bacteria. The product is produced in the form of two strips, one of them is narrow for treatment, and the second is wider. It is ordinary and is designed to fix the main tape.

Action of the remedy

A dermatotropic agent with pronounced keratolytic and antiseptic properties is a solipid patch. The use of the composition has an active effect on keratinized skin. After applying the medicinal composition, pathogenic microorganisms in the layers of problem skin are killed.

This effective remedy is most often recommended by doctors for removing dry calluses. It has a positive effect on keratinized areas of the skin and effectively eliminates pain from core formations.

Thanks to the effective medicinal composition, in just a few days you can get rid of various types of dry calluses on any part of the foot, including between the toes.

The patch provides good disinfection in the wound area, which allows you to get rid of the inflammatory process in a matter of days.

The components in the product promote the formation of new and healthy skin in problem areas after treatment.

Instructions for use

It is very important to carefully read how to properly use the Salipod patch . The instructions for use indicate that the effectiveness of the treatment strips will depend on the correct application of the applications. The duration of treatment also depends on the size and condition of root deposits and corns.

If the affected area is small, you will need to spend only 2-3 days on treatment. If the damaged areas are of medium size, then treatment procedures will take up to 4 days.

Most of all, you will have to spend time and effort to eliminate old calluses. In this case, the patient must apply applications to the affected areas of the skin for 7 days.

This will help soften them and promote regeneration of the skin surface.

The positive effect of Salipod can be determined by skin color. She will turn white and begin to lag behind. If callus applications do not immediately help, then callus removal procedures should be repeated.

Before use, you need to steam your feet well and then dry them with a towel. Using scissors, you need to cut a piece of tape to the required size. Then peel off the protective film and stick it to the problem area of ​​the skin surface. For good fixation, the product is secured with a regular adhesive plaster. If it is not there, then you can use a bandage.

After just 1-2 days it can be removed from the leg carefully and without jerking. The skin must remain intact. If necessary, cut it with nail scissors. In most cases, it should come off on its own along with the patch.

If the procedure does not work, it is repeated again until the callus disappears completely. Usually the positive effect is noticeable after the first application. The skin becomes soft, pink, after which it dries and recovers without Salipod patches. The instructions and price of the product are available to all consumers, which allows it to be used if necessary.

Benefits of use

Core and other types of calluses bring a lot of suffering. Often people use various folk remedies to solve this problem. Using Salipod adhesive plaster is much more effective.

It is much better than other products due to its properties and advantages:

  • removes not only fresh, but also old formations on the skin from the roots;
  • softens keratinized areas and relieves pain;
  • easy to use at home, after which the calluses disappear on their own;
  • the composition of the product prevents the development of fungal diseases;
  • antiseptic substances prevent wound infection.

For calluses, it gently and completely painlessly removes dead skin in just a few days. It is sometimes used to eliminate plantar warts. In this case, the drug must be used in combination with other medications after consultation with a specialist.

Contraindications and restrictions

Despite the good effectiveness of patches, they cannot be used by everyone. The main active ingredient, salicylic acid , is known for its aggressive action. It can cause irritation and an allergic reaction. If Salipod is used incorrectly, burns may result.

After applications, redness sometimes occurs on the skin. itching and burning appears. If such symptoms appear, then the patch must be removed.

The use of such a remedy is not recommended in case of individual intolerance to the components of the adhesive plaster, the presence of wounds, moles, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, or renal failure.

It should not be used by children under 10 years of age, or by patients taking certain medications.

Price and patient reviews

There are many types of adhesive plasters you can buy at online pharmacies. However, Salipod has the best effect. Instructions for use and the price of the medicinal product are generally accessible and easy to use. The price will depend on the release option. On average, the cost ranges from 40 to 70 rubles.

Judging by the reviews of patients, the product copes with rough tissue very quickly. It works painlessly and almost never shows a negative reaction.

Due to uncomfortable and sometimes tight winter shoes, a spike appeared on the heel. Over time, it began to interfere with walking normally. I bought Salipod and began using it according to the instructions for use. After removal, I cut off the remains. The size of the growth was small, so we managed to remove it quickly.

I often have to walk in heels, which is why I suffer from corns. A salipod patch helps after a couple of days, if they are not old. The skin becomes soft and soft.

I periodically develop dry calluses, so Salipod has become a real salvation. It is always available in the pharmacy, is inexpensive and provides quick and positive results.

How to remove a callus after salipod

According to the pharmacological classification, Salipod is classified as a dermatotropic drug against calluses and warts. Product components:

  • salicylic acid,
  • sulfur,
  • lanolin,
  • rosin,
  • rubber.

The main active ingredient in the medicinal composition of the Salipod patch is salicylic acid. It has keratolytic, antifungal, antimicrobial properties, softens the dense stratum corneum of calluses, and promotes the penetration of other medicinal substances under the skin.

Sulfur has a drying and healing effect when, under the influence of salicylic acid, a weeping wound forms at the site of the callus.

Pine rosin, acting bactericidal, destroys pathogenic microorganisms, preventing them from penetrating deep into the dermis. Lanolin forms the ointment base of the medicine and promotes tissue softening and regeneration.

Rubber acts as a binding component, giving the patch plastic and adhesive properties.

For ease of use, the anti-corn preparation is available in two modifications: strips with a protective coating measuring 10x2 cm, 10x6 cm.

The product is sealed in a paper bag with instructions printed on the back side. In addition, a regular adhesive plaster is included in the package for additional fixation of the medicinal product. Shelf life – 2 years of storage in a dry place at room temperature.

The drug is an adhesive plaster that has a dermatotropic effect, which is due to the action of active substances: salicylic acid and sulfur.

The active ingredients have a number of medicinal properties:

  • keratolytic. The keratinized tissue of the callus is softened, the process of their rejection is facilitated due to the effect of salicylic acid;
  • antibacterial. Fungal and bacterial infections are frequent companions of epithelial rejection processes. Sulfur has a pronounced antifungal and antiseptic effect. An acidic environment prevents the proliferation of microorganisms;
  • anti-inflammatory. Salicylic acid relieves inflammation and dries the dermis;
  • regenerating. Sulfur promotes the rapid restoration of healthy skin.

Salicylic acid promotes deeper penetration of sulfur into the epidermis, enhancing its antiseptic and drying effect.

Note! Acid can cause severe irritation, so you should avoid exposing it to healthy areas of the skin.

Excipients - lanolin, rubber, rosin - enhance the antibacterial and softening effect of the main ones.

Indications for use

The Salipod patch is indicated for:

  • dry calluses, which are painless, hard, round lumps. They occur with prolonged pressure on the skin of the legs and arms, not accompanied by friction. In an advanced form, they are difficult to remove, since the layers of keratinized tissue become thicker;
  • corns that form on the feet, pads of the fingers, and the lateral surface of the big toe due to mechanical irritations and regular pressure on the skin of the feet, which leads to poor circulation and pain, and in advanced cases, to flat feet. They differ from calluses by their uneven outline, gray or yellow color;
  • core calluses, externally similar to ordinary dry ones. But unlike the latter, core calluses are painful due to the presence of a core that grows deep into the tissue. The older the callus, the deeper the core grows, and the more difficult it is to remove it without the use of hardware techniques. They are formed as a result of infection of water callus, injury by foreign bodies.

In addition, Salipod is used to soften and reduce the size of warts (spikes) of various locations.

  • budget price. The cost of a Salipod package varies between 40-80 rubles;
  • ease of use. There is no need to dilute, smear or rub in anything. It is enough to stick the patch on the problem area and leave it for the time specified in the instructions;
  • versatility. Salipod can be used not only for calluses and corns, but also for spines and warts that do not have a stem;
  • complex impact. In addition to softening calluses, the patch fights germs and skin fungi;
  • does not require medical consultation provided that the instructions are strictly followed.

The active ingredients of the Salipod patch are incompatible with antidiabetic and antitumor drugs, as well as meta-dioxybenzene. Therefore, the simultaneous use of methotrexate, sulfonylurea, zinc oxide (used in dentistry and in tanning products) or resorcinol is prohibited.

Individual intolerance to the components in the patch can lead to dermatitis (itching, burning, hyperemia of the skin at the site of application).

Note! When using Salipod, micro-wounds may occur that do not heal well in patients with diabetes.

Direct contraindications for use:

  • allergy to components;
  • renal failure;
  • severe forms of diabetes;
  • moles at the site of the callus or in the immediate vicinity;
  • pregnancy;
  • early childhood (up to 10 years) - due to the risk of intoxication;
  • ulcers, burns, pimples, open wounds (including water calluses).

Note! Do not use the product on healthy skin!

Strict adherence to the instructions for use, observing contraindications and taking into account side effects, allows you to completely and permanently get rid of even old dry calluses and corns using the Salipod patch in just a few treatment procedures.

To treat dry calluses, using Salipod is much more practical than ointment: it is difficult to fix in a specific place, and when walking it spreads and stains shoes.

Due to its ease of use, effectiveness, and good tolerability, the Salipod callus patch is widely used in the treatment of various skin formations associated with hyperkeratosis - excessive growth of the stratum corneum of the epidermis.

Indications for use:

  • dry calluses,
  • corns,
  • core calluses,
  • plantar warts.

Users note the effectiveness of Salipod not only in the treatment of minor hyperkeratoses and corns, but also from core calluses - a special type of formation in which a root is formed from horny cells that penetrate deep under the skin.

The therapeutic effect of the patch is used to exfoliate dense horny layers, and to reduce pain, and to relieve inflammation. Due to salicylic acid, which creates an appropriate environment in the area of ​​action of the callus patch, the development of a fungal infection in the affected area is excluded.

The complex therapeutic effect of the patch reduces the risk of inflammation and secondary bacterial infection.

Salipod is available in pharmacies without a prescription, but this does not mean that its use is completely harmless and can be used without restrictions. Salicylic acid, which is part of the patch, makes it incompatible with the simultaneous use of resorcinol and zinc oxide. Resorcinol is prescribed for certain dermatoses, and zinc oxide is included in cosmetic creams and toothpastes.

Salicylic acid and sulfur, even when used externally, increase the side effects of drugs such as:

  • Methotrexate,
  • hypoglycemic agents,
  • sulfonylurea derivatives (Chlorpropamide, Tolazamide).

The instructions for using Salipod also contain contraindications:

  • children under 10 years of age,
  • pregnancy and lactation period,
  • renal failure,
  • individual sensitivity to the components of the drug,
  • diabetes,
  • redness, wounds, pustules in the area affected by the patch.

When used correctly, the active components of the medication have almost no side effects on the healthy tissue surrounding the callus.

Sometimes the negative effects of Salipod manifest themselves in the form of:

  • allergic reaction - the appearance of signs of inflammation on the skin: redness, itching, swelling,
  • persistent hyperemia of healthy tissue around the callus, which indicates the development of contact dermatitis.

If symptoms indicating skin irritation with Salipod occur, you should immediately remove it, wash the affected area with soap and lubricate it with anti-inflammatory ointment.

Instructions for use

In order for the treatment of calluses (core, dry) and corns to be effective, you must adhere to the following rules for using the patch:

  1. Pre-wash the limb and steam in warm water for 10 minutes. This is necessary in order to further soften the skin.
  2. Dry the area where the callus is located.
  3. Carefully cut the patch to the size of the callus to prevent interaction of the active substances with healthy areas of the skin.
  4. Remove the cut piece of the patch from the protective film.
  5. Stick Salipod on the callus.
  6. Secure with a strip of regular adhesive tape. This is necessary for fixation, since treatment should not be interrupted for 48 hours.
  7. After two days, carefully remove both patches. Sudden movements should be avoided to avoid damaging the skin.

After the procedure, evaluate the condition of the callus: if it was not possible to soften it, treatment will have to be continued. This may require another 3-4 sessions.

If the callus or corn has softened and become white and mobile, you need to leave it to dry, after which the growth will dry out on its own and fall off painlessly in a few days.

Treatment of spines and warts

Salipod is very often used to remove warts and papillomas.

Salicylic acid has a softening effect on warts, and sulfur dries and kills germs.

After applying the Salipod patch, the warts dry out, become smaller and, as a result, are rejected.

When treating warts and spines, the procedure is performed in the same way as when removing calluses. The difference lies in the exposure time: the patch must be kept on the wart for 24 hours.

After removing the patch:

  • Carefully cut off the spine at skin level using nail scissors. It is not recommended to use pumice for these purposes - it can erase areas of healthy skin, causing it to become infected;
  • again stick Salipod on the cut site for a day, secure with adhesive tape;
  • After removal, leave the wound to dry.

After treatment, the wart will become softer and decrease in size.

Note! With the help of external means it is impossible to completely get rid of warts and spines, since the cause of their formation is the papillomavirus, the treatment of which, along with the use of patches and ointments, consists of taking immunomodulating and antiviral agents.

Average prices

A significant advantage of the Salipod callus patch over other similar products is its affordable price. Depending on the region of the Russian Federation, its values ​​range from 35 to 80 rubles:

  • packaging containing 11 strips – 80 rubles,
  • adhesive plaster measuring 2x10 cm - 35-55 rubles,
  • Salipod 6x10 cm – from 40 rubles.

Other similar patches have a similar effect:

  • Mozolin - well softens dense keratinized corns and dry calluses,
  • Compide - exfoliates rough epidermis, relieves pain and heals damaged tissue.

Salipod is a medicine that should always be in your home medicine cabinet in order to solve the problem of dry calluses quickly and effectively if necessary.
