Le Diable Corn Removal Solutionis a topical adjunct treatment for corns, calluses, bunions, and warts. Thanks to salicylic acid, it helps soften thickened skin and facilitates the gradual removal of keratinized tissue. A convenient solution to restore comfort while walking and care for your feet every day.
When certain areas of the foot are subjected to repeated friction, the skin reacts by thickening as a defense mechanism. However, this natural process can become uncomfortable when the thickened skin forms a corn, a callus, or a bunion. In these situations, Coricide Le Diable skin solution can be used as a topical adjunct treatment to act directly on these thickened areas.
Its formula is based on salicylic acid, a well-known keratolytic active ingredient in dermatology. Essentially, it acts as a targeted “dissolver” of the stratum corneum: it helps promote the removal of dead cells and gradually soften the thickened area. Imagine a layer of paint that’s too thick—you’d first soften it before gently removing it: the treated skin on the feet then becomes easier to remove.
This targeted action also helps reduce the thickness of calluses, which can relieve pressure when walking. Since corns and calluses are often associated with areas of the foot that bear weight, reducing this buildup of skin can help restore a sense of comfort in daily life.
In the case of warts, salicylic acid works by gradually helping to loosen the keratinized layer covering the lesion. This gradual process facilitates the removal of the affected tissue over the course of multiple applications, without the need for aggressive mechanical intervention.
Regular application also helps soften thickened skin, which can make the treatment more comfortable and facilitate the removal of dead skin after a foot bath. The goal is to support the skin through a gradual elimination process while minimizing irritation.
To maximize comfort and protect the treated area from friction, it may be advisable to use Urgo Coricide 12 Adhesive Bandages in conjunction with this treatment; they work synergistically to reduce mechanical pressure on the callus during the treatment phase.
Directions for Use
Apply the solution directly to the affected area 1 to 2 times a day, taking care not to let it spread onto healthy skin. It is recommended to protect the skin around the treated area with a callus protector to prevent irritation.
After application, allow the solution to dry for a few moments before putting on a sock or shoe. Close the bottle tightly after each use to preserve the product’s quality.
After about one week of treatment, it is recommended to take a warm foot bath to soften the skin and then gently remove the dead tissue.
The treatment duration is generally 5 to 6 days for corns, calluses, or plantar warts. For warts, treatment may be continued for about two weeks, depending on how the lesion responds.
Route of administration: topical.

In pharmacy practice, corns and calluses are often caused by repeated pressure on a specific area of the foot. Alongside local treatment, it’s helpful to identify the mechanical cause: shoes that are too tight, worn-out insoles, or uneven weight distribution. A simple change in footwear or the addition of an insole can help prevent recurrence. A warm foot bath followed by thorough drying also enhances the treatment’s effectiveness and improves skin comfort.

Extracted from the castor bean, castor oil was long used as a laxative before being abandoned due to its irritant properties. It is sometimes used in very low doses as an excipient (a component with no therapeutic activity). Some people react to the presence of castor oil in a medicine: eczema (if the oil is present in an ointment or cream, for example), diarrhea (if it is part of the composition of a medicine taken orally), etc. Products containing castor oil should never be administered to children under three years of age.
A family of drugs, the best known of which is acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin).
