Excilor® DUO POWER contains two pen devices: a Cryo pen and a Acid pen.

1. Cryo Treatment pen is based on the freezing method commonly used by general practitioners. It freezes warts on the spot, by rapidly freezing the core of the wart.
2. Acid Treatment pen contains a concentrated caustic formulation with Trichloroacetic acid that induces peeling of warts outer layer. During the treatment, the skin will become darker and start to peel by forming a scab. Skin peeling is a natural process and will last 1 to 2 weeks after the treatment period. Renewed skin will appear smoother, slightly pink and regain its natural colour within subsequent weeks.

A maximum of three treatment cycles is recommended. If the treated wart does not disappear after three completed cycles, please contact your general practitioner for medical advice.

• On children under 4 years of age.
• Anywhere else other than hands and feet.
• On healthy skin surrounding the wart
• On bleeding, irritated, inflamed skin or skin showing any sign of inflammation such as itch or swelling.
• On open wounds.
• On skin tags, moles, dark patches of skin, freckles, water warts (mollusca contagiosa), seborrhoeic keratosis (verruca seborrheica), or exfoliated skin.
• On liquid filled vesicles on the skin (called ‘molluscum contagiosum’, also known as water warts) or any other vesicles or blisters.
• On birthmarks, recent vascularized and irregular growths, or anything that might be skin cancer (melanoma). 
• On warts larger than than 5 mm, consult your general practitioner.

If there are multiple warts close to one another (within 1 cm), wait until the skin has returned to normal before treating another wart (this can take up to 6 weeks).

Common warts (verruca vulgaris) and foot warts (verruca plantaris) appear on the skin as small, rough ‘cauliflower-like’ growths, caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.

Common warts occur mostly on hands, fingers or toes. Foot warts mainly grow on the soles of the feet or heels and tend to be flatter, harder and are often tender/painful when walking or standing.

Both are highly contagious and affect three out of four people during their lifetime

If you are not completely certain whether the skin condition is a verruca or wart, consult a pharmacist or general practitioner before using a Treatment.

A fungal nail infection is often caused by excessive moisture, heat, perspiration, possibly poor hygiene. Normally, the nail plate is too thick for fungi to penetrate. However, damaged nails can easily become infected. Shoes that are too tight and/or feet that perspire provide conditions for fungi to develop and spread.

Fungal infections are contagious and can be passed on to others (e.g. by using communal showers). Self-contamination is also possible: the infection can spread from one nail to another if left untreated.

Wash your feet regularly. If soap is used, rinse your feet thoroughly afterwards to remove all traces of the soap. Dry your feet thoroughly, especially between the toes. Wear clean cotton or woolen socks. Wear shoes that allow your feet to “breathe” and are not too tight.Change your shoes regularly. Use an antifungal product in your shoes. Avoid walking barefoot in public spaces, wear flip flops or sandals in and around communal showers, changing rooms and swimming pools.
