What is Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid?

Huehneraugen Lebewohl Pflaster is an over‑the‑counter topical patch that combines lactic acid and salicylic acid in a keratolytic formulation. The plaster delivers these agents directly to the skin surface, where they act to exfoliate hyperkeratotic tissue. Designed for external use, it is marketed in the European Union for self‑care treatment of warts, calluses, corns and other thickened skin lesions, and may aid in gradual removal of the lesion.

What is Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid used for?

Huehneraugen Lebewohl Pflaster is indicated for the self‑managed treatment of several hyperkeratotic skin conditions. - Wart removal on hands, feet or other body sites. - Softening and gradual reduction of calluses. - Treatment of corns that cause discomfort. - Management of other thickened skin lesions such as verrucae or keratotic plaques.

What are the side effects of Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid?

Topical application of the plaster may cause local skin reactions; most are mild and reversible, while rare events can be more concerning.

Common: - Mild erythema or redness that usually resolves within a few hours. - Slight itching, tingling, or burning sensation at the patch site. - Localized dryness or peeling of the skin as the keratolytic effect progresses. - Temporary lightening or darkening of the skin that normalizes after treatment.

Serious: - Allergic contact dermatitis characterized by swelling, vesicle formation, or intense itching. - Severe irritation that may lead to ulceration or breakdown of the epidermis. - Persistent hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation after patch removal. - Rare systemic symptoms such as headache or dizziness, indicating possible absorption.
