Apply a medicated cream or gel containing resorcinol, salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. This helps is soaking the oil and helps in peeling away the blackheads.If benzoyl peroxide leaves your skin dry, apply an oil-free moisturizer after 10 mins of applying benzoyl peroxide.
Avoid cooked carbohydrates and fats, replace these with fresh fruits, vegetables and raw fats (avocadoes, olives, olive oil etc).Also steam your face once in a while.
Hello,
Do not use any alpha hydroxy acid products (those containing glycolic or lactic acid), salicylic acid products, retinoids (Retin A, Renova, Differin and Tazorac) and other topical acne medications such as benzoyl peroxide for 72 hours after the treatment. Also any scarubbing or acne soaps should be avoided for atleast 1 week after the miscrodermabrasion procedure.
Along with this one can also use a mild keratolytic such as 2-3% salicylic acid ointment or tretinoin cream. Lactic acid,
urea, adapalene or tazarotene are also recommended in certain cases. Eucerin plus with AHA helps in exfoliation and moisturization but it is pretty mild. Cerave is just a moisturizer which would
be as good as Eucerin. Cetaphil again is a moisturizer with no exfoliation . I would recommend the use of a mild keratolytic as mentioned above.
See your doctor for a topical retinoid called Differin (adapalene 0.1%). This is very good at dealing with blackheads and acne. Do not try to remove the blackheads by squeezing as this can spread bacteria under the skin causing more breakouts. It can also delay healing and lead to secondary infection.
A good face wash for oily skin is Estee Lauder's Sparkling Clean. Washing alone will not heal acne or blackheads so do ask your doctor about Differin.
Hi, I have used salicylic acid face wash heavily along with Benzoyl Peroxide, my skin type is really sensitive. My under eyes have gonna really red and burt and left me with deep wrinkles when smiling, one of the eyes have completely recovered as it didn't have much deep wrinkles, although the other eye looks really wrinkly and the wrinkles look deep, I am only 21 and my skin was like baby's skin, didn't have any wrinkles before the bp use.
It's possible, have you been tested for any allergies? Have you tried cleansers without the salicylic acid to see if they still cause issues? Many times they also have fragrance in them which could be another cause.
The first product was a salicylic acid foam cleanser, the second was a salicylic toner, and the third was a benzoyl peroxide lotion. (I have used salicylic acid before, so I don't think that was the cause of the reaction.) After two days of use, my skin was extremely dry and my eyes were swollen. I stopped using the benzoyl peroxide, but continued with the salicylic acid because I was out of town with no other products. After six days, I stopped using the products entirely.
ve been using it in a facewash and not a topical cream that stays on the skin, at least the salicylic acid was only on the skin for a short period of time and then rinsed away. Try not to worry, and don't feel guilty about something you didn't even know about - just change to something else now (I like Neutrogena's Extra Gentle face wash, it contains no soap or hard chemicals) and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.
So I was reading and read that salicylic acid can help reduce warts.. and as it takes a while to be seen by my local std clinic for treatment I opted for another treatment.. I recently started putting some neutragena salicylic acid acne treatment on the couple of bumps and I don't know if it's me not looking so hard and close or if it's working, but they seem to reducing in size and number. I only visibly notice 3 or 4 now when it was close to 7 or 8.
i doubt that i got warts on my penis by touching while bathing or by using a common towel for cleaning the neck and my other body area while bathing . can i use salicylic acid for it . i heard that if the body immune system is good this warts go away by them self , is it true ? if gone will they return back again? i also heard that this virus enters in to our DNA and will be there for the rest of our life , is it true ?
I visited a doctor and she gave me a medicines called Keratolytic Ointment (Kelytic 40%) which is composed of Salicylic acid BP 40% w/w. But I read in a health blog that salicylic acid should not be used on genital warts. My doctor prescribed it and I am using it twice a day. Is this medicine okay to use? If yes, How long will it take for the warts to go away? And how many doses should I use?
Please help. I am very worried.
I did some more checking. Looks like ckeansers or toners with less than 2% salicylic acid are safe. Of you're breaking out as bad as I was and are concerned, ask your doctor first, but it looks like most store bought cleansers are not a problem.
Hello,
For such type of burns, apply cool compresses on the area and do not scrub your skin or shave your skin and use a soft towel and gently pat your skin dry. Also use cream containing aloe vera and a light moisturizer or a dusting powder to relieve chafing. You can apply silver sulfadiazine (1% cream) on the skin except face and see if it helps. If the symptoms still persist then you should consult a dermatologist.
I have tried all sorts of exfoliating techniques and topical treatments (AHA, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, lactic acids, etc…) and nothing ever gets rid of the bumps. By the way, the bumps do not disappear temporarily and come back, they never go away (the same bumps are in the same location all the time).
What do you think is causing these bumps? What are these bumps? How do I get rid of them?
Don't use salicylic acid. Go for something more natural, or just use plain bar soap.
ve been putting a liquid on it which is like salicylic acid or something like that. It freezes up but I peel it off to put a new application. The other day I peeled it off and the white stuff came out of it. My parents have been bugging me lately saying the medicine keeps making it bigger, and they're bugged about it. But when I peeled it off and the white stuff came out, the medicine also took a chunk of the wart with it.
Clear foaming face wash. It has an antibacterial ingredient (not salicylic acid) that gets rid of bacteria. Also, Dr. Lin's Hydrating Gel is good to use instead of fame cream, and might soothe painful acne. I'm not sure, since I haven't had any breakouts,these are products I've just always used daily that might be helpful.
Yes, my skin has been awful for a few weeks now. I've stopped using salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, so I'm just hoping it will clear up on its own! If yours gets really unbearable, you can ask your OB for a safe prescription lotion.
