Excilor® DUO POWER contains two pen devices: a Cryo pen and a Acid pen.

1. Cryo Treatment pen is based on the freezing method commonly used by general practitioners. It freezes warts on the spot, by rapidly freezing the core of the wart.
2. Acid Treatment pen contains a concentrated caustic formulation with Trichloroacetic acid that induces peeling of warts outer layer. During the treatment, the skin will become darker and start to peel by forming a scab. Skin peeling is a natural process and will last 1 to 2 weeks after the treatment period. Renewed skin will appear smoother, slightly pink and regain its natural colour within subsequent weeks.

A maximum of three treatment cycles is recommended. If the treated wart does not disappear after three completed cycles, please contact your general practitioner for medical advice.

• On children under 4 years of age.
• Anywhere else other than hands and feet.
• On healthy skin surrounding the wart
• On bleeding, irritated, inflamed skin or skin showing any sign of inflammation such as itch or swelling.
• On open wounds.
• On skin tags, moles, dark patches of skin, freckles, water warts (mollusca contagiosa), seborrhoeic keratosis (verruca seborrheica), or exfoliated skin.
• On liquid filled vesicles on the skin (called ‘molluscum contagiosum’, also known as water warts) or any other vesicles or blisters.
• On birthmarks, recent vascularized and irregular growths, or anything that might be skin cancer (melanoma). 
• On warts larger than than 5 mm, consult your general practitioner.

A verruca is a type of wart that typically appears on the soles of the feet. They can be painful due to pressure from walking and are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV)

Common warts (verruca vulgaris) and foot warts (verruca plantaris) appear on the skin as small, rough ‘cauliflower-like’ growths, caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.

Common warts occur mostly on hands, fingers or toes. Foot warts mainly grow on the soles of the feet or heels and tend to be flatter, harder and are often tender/painful when walking or standing.

If you are not completely certain whether the skin condition is a verruca or wart, consult a pharmacist or general practitioner before using a Treatment.

Infected nails may show discolouration (whitish-yellow, brown, or green), thickening, crumbling edges, and sometimes detachment from the nail bed.

Early treatment is crucial. Excilor offers clinically proven antifungal nail products, such as the Nail Fungus Solution and Ultra Colour range, which penetrate the nail to combat the infection effectively.

Common causes include exposure to moist environments, wearing tight shoes, and nail injuries. Fungi thrive in warm, damp conditions, making feet particularly vulnerable.

Fungal nail infections, or onychomycosis, often result from excessive moisture, heat, perspiration, or poor hygiene. Damaged nails are more susceptible, and environments like tight shoes or communal showers can provide conditions for fungi to develop and spread.

Yes, fungal infections are contagious and can spread through direct contact or shared surfaces, such as communal showers. The infection can also transfer from one nail to another if left untreated.

• Wash and dry your feet thoroughly, especially between the toes.
• Wear breathable footwear and clean cotton or woollen socks.
• Avoid walking barefoot in public areas; use flip-flops in communal showers and pools.
• Use antifungal products in your shoes and change your shoes regularly.
