Uses

Warts can be spread by contact of the virus with damaged skin, particularly if warm and moist. This is why one of the most common sources of infection is swimming pools. Corns are hard, thick pads of skin caused by pressure and friction. They usually occur on the feet due to poorly fitting shoes. They can also occur on hands. Cornex Gel is suitable for use by adults, children and the elderly.
