Bazuka Gel - 6g

Bazuka Gel 6g is a topical treatment for warts, verrucas, corns and calluses. It contains a keratolytic active ingredient that works by softening and gradually removing thickened, hardened skin, helping the affected area to clear over time.

On application, Bazuka Gel dries to form a water-resistant protective film, allowing the active ingredient to remain in contact with the lesion and reducing the need for additional dressings. The gel is suitable for home treatment and is commonly recommended in pharmacy practice for the management of common skin growths.

Bazuka Gel is used for:

• Common warts
• Verrucas (plantar warts)
• Corns
• Calluses

Pack size: 6g
