Huehneraugen Lebewohl Pflaster Extra Stark (Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid)

Huehneraugen Lebewohl Pflaster Extra Stark is indicated for several dermatological conditions that benefit from keratolysis. It is commonly employed to address localized skin thickening and viral lesions.

• Treatment of common and plantar warts.
• Removal of calluses and corns on the feet or hands.
• Management of mild to moderate acne vulgaris.
• Softening of hyperkeratotic skin patches such as keratoses.
• Adjunctive care for thickened skin after minor trauma.

• The plaster delivers lactic acid and salicylic acid directly to the stratum corneum, where they disrupt intercellular cohesion by breaking down keratin filaments. Salicylic acid acts as a keratolytic agent that dissolves desmosomal connections, while lactic acid promotes exfoliation through mild chemical peeling. This combined action facilitates desquamation of hyperkeratotic tissue and enhances removal of the targeted lesion.

Adverse reactions are generally limited to the site of application, but they can vary in frequency and severity.

Common

• Mild skin irritation or burning sensation.
• Redness or erythema at the application site.
• Dryness or peeling of the treated skin.
• Itching or mild pruritus.
• Temporary discoloration of the skin.

Serious

• Allergic contact dermatitis.
• Severe ulceration or erosion of the skin.
• Secondary bacterial or fungal infection.
• Persistent swelling or blister formation.
• Systemic hypersensitivity reactions (rare).

Before using Huehneraugen Lebewohl Pflaster Extra Stark, consider the following safety measures to minimize risks.

• Do not apply on open wounds, inflamed or infected skin.
• Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and genital areas.
• Perform a patch test on a small skin area prior to full application.
• Discontinue use and seek medical advice if severe irritation or allergic reaction occurs.
• Keep the plaster away from children under 12 years unless supervised.
• Pregnancy and lactation status are not established; consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Limit sun exposure on treated areas, as the skin may be more photosensitive.

While topical, Huehneraugen Lebewohl Pflaster Extra Stark may interact with other skin products or systemic agents.

Avoid

• Concurrent use of other keratolytic agents (e.g., high‑strength salicylic acid gels, urea creams).
• Application of retinoids or prescription acne medications on the same area.
• Occlusive dressings that trap heat and increase absorption.
• Use on skin treated with chemical peels or laser therapy.

Use with caution

• Combining with mild moisturizers or barrier creams may reduce irritation.
• Patients on systemic immunosuppressants should monitor wound healing.
• Individuals with known sensitivity to acids should limit exposure.
• When using other topical antibiotics, observe for signs of increased irritation.
