How do you use Goodbye Liquid?

Corns or calluses

Bake the foot with corns or calluses in warm water for about 20 minutes and then dry well. The warm water before the treatment speeds up the process and is particularly recommended for sensitive feet.

Farewell liquid carefully apply thinly to corns or calluses without wetting the surrounding healthy skin. After a minute, a thin skin forms and after a short time a wafer-thin, immovable, fixed plaster. Apply 1 drop each evening and morning to the affected area for up to 5 days. Only then take another foot bath, whereupon corns or calluses can be loosened and easily removed. The applied solution must be pulled off carefully so that the healthy skin is not torn at the edges. If tender pink skin appears during the treatment, no more liquid is initially applied. The adjacent healthy skin areas should be covered with a fatty cream. In the case of older corns or more severe corneal changes, longer-lasting treatment may be necessary. Under no circumstances should a sharp object (knife, scissors) be handled on the skin area to be treated.

Warts

Soak the wart affected area in warm water for about 20 minutes and then dry well. Apply Farewell Liquid carefully to the wart without wetting the surrounding healthy skin. After a minute, a thin skin forms and after a short time a wafer-thin, immovable, fixed plaster. Apply 1 drop each evening and morning to the affected area for up to 5 days. Only then bathe the affected area again, after which the wart can be loosened and easily removed. The applied solution must be pulled off carefully so that the healthy skin is not torn at the edges. If tender pink skin appears during the treatment, no more liquid is initially applied. The adjacent healthy skin areas should be covered with a fatty cream. Older warts may require longer-term treatment. Under no circumstances should a sharp object (knife, scissors) be handled on the skin area to be treated.

If warts cannot be removed after 3-4 weeks of treatment, a doctor should be consulted.

Stick to the dosage given in the package leaflet or as prescribed by your doctor. If you think the medicine is too weak or too strong, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or druggist.
