Bazuka

Bazuka is a prominent brand of over-the-counter (OTC) topical treatments developed and marketed by Diomed for the removal of warts, verrucas, corns, and calluses. The product range primarily features medicinal gels, such as Bazuka Gel and Bazuka Extra Strength Gel, which utilize high concentrations of salicylic acid, often in combination with lactic acid. These active ingredients function as keratolytics, breaking down the protein structure (keratin) of the skin lesion and the "intercellular cement" holding the skin cells together. This process softens the affected area, allowing for the gradual mechanical removal of the viral-infected tissue. Additionally, the brand includes Bazuka Sub-zero, a cryotherapy-based device that uses an aerosol spray to freeze the lesion. Bazuka is a well-established retail brand in the United Kingdom, known for its "once-daily" application regimen and its ability to form a protective, water-resistant film over the treated area.
