All corn patches must be used following certain rules. Before applying, it is necessary to clean, degrease and dry the desired area of skin. To separate the adhesive layer from the film, it is necessary to warm it up between the palms. After the corn plaster is fixed, it is necessary to make sure that the treatment area covers only the diseased area. The patch is usually required to be worn for 1-2 days, while it cannot be peeled off during this time.
