    • @sanjaa.2396
      @sanjaa.2396 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Noo, stop using it. Use only face wash with 0, 5 % salicydic acid only and rinse it off with water. You probably have sensitive skin and can use it only like face wash but it helps for clogged pores and blackheads. If that doesn’t work then you only have option with bioderma sebium facewash which it even milder but still clears clogged pores.

      How did it go? I developed plantar hyperkeratosis. Very stubborn w rapid, tough skin growth. heels and outer aspect of soles. I don't know anyone else with this, most literature out there is for acne or the face. so if you don't mind, can you tell me what worked for you? ai fear getting older if I don't get this under some more prevention control. My dermatologist is not much help. Have you tried UV light or anything else? OK if you don't feel like communicating, but what works for you might work for me.
      (I use callus remover razor everyday to every few days, and Triamcinolone cream. Also using urea 40 % w 2 % salicylic acid. BUT. also treatment with 10 % salicylic acid ointment plaster left on overnight. Now just trying stronger acid. Up tp 20 % plaster, Noticing some improvement, and going to try a home compound w adding coal tar. The recipe is online from a dermatologist. ) Thanks and best wishes!

      the 17% concentration that is used for removing warts says to apply two thin layers, allowing each to dry first, then not applying again for at least 12 hours. This is as per the directions on the bottle. But this is for destroying warts, this is NOT what you would want to use for other purposes.

    So my family doctor put me on the gel at 6% with my tretinoin, I have been in my tretinoin for two months now. I only use my tretinoin one day a week, I tried the salicylic acid 6% on my face for the first time (not on the same night as the Tretinoin) and I got half of my face done and was starting to put it on the other side. It started to burn.... I have sensitive skin. I followed the directions. I kept my face nice and wet for five minutes then put it on. My face was wet when I started to apply, as I was rubbing it in it was slimy. It started to "slug" up, it's hard to describe but it started to get stringy. My skin was burning for a while after I removed it, I though my face would be super red after words. I'm Native American, Irish and German so I get red super fast, I was a little red that's it. I feel like I should try it one more time because my skin is already dry then you put the Tretinoin on top of that . Ohhhh baby!! It's crust town! So is there any advice on what I can do the next time? Maybe a barrier of sorts? Anything would be great! I'm very grateful thank you so much.
