Saltopic Ointment

Saltopic Ointment is a topical medicine used to treat various skin conditions such as psoriasis, calluses, warts, corns, dandruff, and certain types of acne. It helps remove dead skin, reduces scaling, and softens thickened or rough skin. The medicine promotes healing and restores smoothness to the affected area.

It is meant for external use only and should be used as directed by your doctor. Before applying, clean and dry the affected skin properly. Apply a thin, even layer of the ointment and gently rub it in. Wash your hands before and after use unless the hands themselves are being treated. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or broken skin.

How Saltopic Ointment Works

Saltopic Ointment contains Salicylic Acid, which belongs to a group of medicines called keratolytics.
It works by loosening and shedding dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, making the outer layer thinner and softer. This helps reduce scaling, dryness, and thickening caused by skin conditions such as psoriasis, warts, and corns. It also unclogs pores and prevents the buildup of debris and oil on the skin.
