HOE Ellgy Corns and Warts Treatment Solution

HOE Ellgy Corns and Warts Treatment Solution is a topical liquid preparation formulated with Salicylic Acid 17% w/v as its active ingredient, combined with Lactic Acid in a flexible collodion (lacquer-type) base. Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid widely used in topical corn and callus paint preparations for its keratolytic (skin-softening) properties, while the lacquer base forms a thin, flexible film over the treated area once it dries.

This is an Over-the-Counter (OTC) product manufactured by HOE Pharmaceuticals Sdn Bhd and sold in Malaysia in a 10ml bottle fitted with a built-in fine-tip applicator brush, which allows the solution to be applied precisely onto a small, targeted area of skin. It does not require a doctor’s prescription to purchase from a registered pharmacy or a licensed online pharmacy.

Unlike an adhesive corn pad or patch, HOE Ellgy is a paint-on liquid, so the amount applied and the exact area it covers can be controlled more precisely with each use. The product is intended strictly for external application to the hardened area of skin and is not meant for ingestion or use on mucous membranes.

Wash the affected area with soap and water and dry it thoroughly before each application. Where possible, soak the area in warm water for a few minutes first, then gently file down any loosened, thickened skin with an emery board or pumice stone, and dry the skin completely again.

• Using the built-in applicator brush, apply a thin, even layer of the solution directly onto the corn or wart only, keeping the solution off the surrounding healthy skin as much as possible.
• Allow the solution to air-dry fully, which forms a thin film, before covering the area with a plaster, sock, or footwear.
• Apply once or twice daily, or as directed by a pharmacist, and recap the bottle tightly straight after use.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after each application.

As a topical paint-on solution, HOE Ellgy does not have a systemic dose; instead, use is guided by the amount and frequency applied to the skin.

• Apply one thin coat of solution per use, limited strictly to the surface of the corn or wart.
• Typical use is 1-2 applications per day, or as directed on the product label or by a pharmacist.
• Do not increase the frequency or amount applied beyond what is stated on the packaging.
• Reassess after about 2 weeks of regular use; if the area has not improved, or if irritation develops, stop use and consult a pharmacist or doctor.
• Continuous use beyond 12 weeks without professional reassessment is not recommended.

An independently verified shelf-life duration for this specific product could not be confirmed, so always check the expiry date printed on the bottle and carton before use, and do not use the solution past that date.

Once opened, use the solution within the timeframe stated on the packaging, and discard it if the solution has visibly thickened, discoloured, or dried out.

• Store below 30°C, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• The lacquer base contains flammable solvents, so keep the bottle away from open flame, sparks, and heat sources.
• Keep the bottle tightly capped between uses to stop the solution from thickening or evaporating.
• Store out of the reach and sight of children and pets.

• Not for use on moles, birthmarks, or any skin lesion of uncertain or unusual appearance.
• Not for use on facial warts or genital/anal warts.
• Not for use by people with diabetes mellitus or poor blood circulation, due to a higher risk of skin injury and delayed healing.
• Not for use on broken, infected, inflamed, or already irritated skin.
• Not for use by anyone with a known hypersensitivity to salicylic acid, aspirin, or other salicylates.
• Not recommended for infants and young children unless a doctor has advised it.

• Avoid applying other topical keratolytic or exfoliating products (such as other salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or retinoid preparations) to the same area at the same time, as this may increase skin irritation.
• No clinically significant food interactions are known, as the product is applied topically to a small area and absorption into the bloodstream is minimal when used as directed.
• Tell your pharmacist if you are using any other prescription topical medicine on the same area of skin.

• Apply the solution only to the hardened area itself, keeping it off surrounding healthy skin.
• If precise application is difficult, dab a little plain petroleum jelly on the skin around the corn or wart first as a simple barrier.
• Recap the bottle tightly straight after each use so the solution does not thicken or dry out between applications.
• File the area gently with a pumice stone or emery board between applications — but skip filing altogether if you have diabetes or poor circulation, and check with a pharmacist first.
• Keep the applicator brush clean and avoid letting the tip touch other surfaces before it goes back into the bottle.
• Keep the bottle away from naked flames, as the lacquer base is flammable.

HOE Ellgy Corns and Warts Treatment Solution is a keratolytic paint solution meant for careful, targeted application. It is formulated for external use on intact, non-sensitive skin only.

Precautions: Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes; rinse immediately with plenty of water if accidental contact occurs. Do not use on sunburned, windburned, or otherwise damaged skin. People with diabetes, poor circulation, or peripheral neuropathy should not self-treat corns or warts with this product and should seek professional foot care instead. Keep away from children, as accidental ingestion or misuse can cause serious harm.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Seek advice if the treated area becomes more painful, swollen, or shows signs of infection (increasing redness, warmth, or discharge); if the lesion changes in size, shape, or colour; if there is no improvement after several weeks of regular use; or if you are unsure whether a skin growth is a corn or wart rather than something that needs a different type of assessment.
