Apply the medicine with the applicator to the clean and dry surface of the wart. After unscrewing the cap and removing the applicator, wait a while until the excess liquid has drained back into the bottle, and then apply only to the surface of the wart, making sure that the liquid does not come into contact with healthy skin, mucous membranes, or eyes. After applying to the wart, wait a while until the liquid has dried to a white film. Apply twice daily to clean, dry skin. Rub only the surface of the wart, for several days depending on the result of the treatment, up to a maximum of 6-8 weeks.
