Used in dermatology for the treatment of warts, including common, plantar, and flat warts, due to its ability to promote skin exfoliation and disrupt abnormal cell growth. It is applied topically in controlled concentrations to induce localized irritation and shedding of affected skin tissue. Also investigated for potential anti-cancer properties, particularly in traditional medicine practices, where it shows activity against certain tumor cell lines by inducing apoptosis. Its use requires caution due to cytotoxic effects on healthy tissue.
