Overview
A Caustic Pencil (40%) is a medical applicator tipped with silver nitrate, used to treat small skin lesions by chemical cautery. It is applied by a healthcare professional to remove or shrink over-granulating tissue, small warts, verrucas and skin tags, and to stop minor bleeding from small wounds. The 40% strength offers a gentler action for more delicate treatment. Designed for precise, controlled application to a small target area.
Active ingredient: Silver nitrate 40% (tipped applicator).
Directions for Use
For use by, or under the guidance of, a healthcare professional. Protect the surrounding healthy skin. Lightly moisten the tip if directed, then apply the pencil tip to the lesion for a few seconds to allow the silver nitrate to act. Avoid contact with healthy skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Apply only as often as advised. Overuse can damage healthy tissue.
For external, professional use. Not for self-treatment of undiagnosed skin growths. Avoid eyes, lips and broken surrounding skin. Silver nitrate stains skin temporarily and fabric permanently. Do not use on large areas, moles or any changing or suspicious lesion without medical assessment. Keep away from children. Store dry, below 25°C.
