Whitefield Ointment 20g contains Salicylic Acid 3% and Benzoic Acid 6%. Salicylic Acid helps to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, while Benzoic Acid has antifungal properties. Together, they are used to treat conditions like warts, corns, and other skin growths by softening and dissolving the affected tissue.
Common side effects may include skin irritation, redness, or a burning sensation at the application site. Prolonged use or application to large areas can increase the risk of systemic absorption and more severe reactions. If you experience any severe or unusual symptoms, contact your healthcare provider.
Apply Whitefield Ointment as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once or twice daily. Clean and dry the affected area before application. Avoid using the ointment on broken or irritated skin, and follow the prescribed treatment duration to achieve the best results.
