Product Description
Monochloroacetic Acid
Monochloroacetic Acid is a highly effective caustic agent used by healthcare professionals, particularly podiatrists and dermatologists, for the treatment and removal of plantar warts and verrucas. Available in a concentrated 25g container, this product is designed to be used in clinical settings for the targeted treatment of persistent skin growths.
What is Monochloroacetic Acid?
Monochloroacetic Acid is a potent chemical agent that works by breaking down the keratin layer in the skin. This allows for the removal of tough skin lesions, such as warts and verrucas, which can be resistant to other forms of treatment. The acid acts by destroying infected tissue, promoting the healthy regeneration of skin.

How Does Monochloroacetic Acid Work?
When applied to the skin, Monochloroacetic Acid breaks down the proteins in the outer layers of skin, effectively softening and loosening the hardened skin caused by warts and verrucas. The acid targets the viral infection at the root, gradually removing the growth and promoting the regeneration of healthy skin. Its caustic properties mean that it should only be used by trained healthcare professionals, ensuring safety and effectiveness during the treatment process.
Applications in Podiatry and Dermatology
Monochloroacetic Acid is widely used by podiatrists and dermatologists for treating various skin conditions, but it is most commonly recommended for the removal of plantar warts and verrucas. These growths can be uncomfortable and painful for patients, especially on the soles of the feet, making it essential to have a reliable solution like Monochloroacetic Acid for effective and fast relief.
Precautions and Usage
Given its potency, it is crucial that Monochloroacetic Acid is handled with care. It should only be applied by HPC registered professionals, such as podiatrists and dermatologists, who are trained to apply the correct dosage and manage potential side effects. Care must be taken to avoid contact with surrounding healthy skin, as this can cause irritation or burns.
