Podowart Paint is a potent topical solution used for the removal of certain types of skin growths. It contains Podophyllum Resin, a substance derived from the "Mayapple" plant that acts as a cytotoxic (cell-killing) agent. It works by stopping the cells of the growth from dividing and multiplying, eventually causing the tissue to wither and fall off.
This product is primarily indicated for specific viral skin growths. It is used for:
Genital Warts (Condyloma Acuminatum): Treating external warts on the genital and perianal areas.
Common Warts (Verruca Vulgaris): Removing stubborn warts on the hands and feet.
Plantar Warts: Treating warts located on the soles of the feet.
Podophyllum Resin (20% - 25% w/v): A powerful resin that penetrates the wart tissue to arrest cell division, leading to the death of the viral cells.
Application: Must be applied precisely to the wart itself.
Frequency: Usually applied once a week by a healthcare professional or as strictly directed by our pharmacist.
Contact Time: The "paint" is typically left on the skin for 1 to 4 hours, then washed off thoroughly.
Protect Healthy Skin: Apply a layer of Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline) or Zinc Oxide ointment to the healthy skin surrounding the wart. This prevents the medication from burning normal skin.
Precise Application: Use the applicator provided (or a toothpick) to apply a small amount of Podowart only to the wart.
Dry: Allow the solution to dry completely before allowing clothing to touch the area.
Wash Off: After the prescribed time (usually 1–4 hours), wash the area thoroughly with soap and warm water to remove all traces of the medication.
Hygiene: Wash your hands immediately after use.
Professional Use Recommended: Because it is highly caustic, it is often recommended that the first application be done by a healthcare professional.
Never Use On: Moles, birthmarks, or unusual skin growths that have not been diagnosed by a doctor. Do not use on the face.
Pregnancy Warning: NEVER use Podowart if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as it can be harmful to the developing fetus.
Internal Warts: Do not use on internal warts (inside the vagina, urethra, or rectum).
Indicated For: Adults only.
Not Suitable For: Diabetics or people with poor blood circulation, as skin healing may be compromised.
Q: Will it hurt when I apply it?
A: Application is usually painless, but after a few hours or days, the area may become tender, red, or slightly sore as the wart tissue begins to die.
Q: How many applications will I need?
A: Most warts require multiple weekly treatments. If there is no improvement after 4–6 weeks, consult our pharmacist.
Q: What happens if it touches healthy skin?
A: It will cause a chemical burn. If accidental contact occurs, wash the area immediately with plenty of soap and water.
