Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent widely used in dermatological treatments for conditions such as acne, psoriasis, and warts. It helps exfoliate the top layer of skin and unclog pores.
It is available in the form of creams, lotions, gels, and patches, and is applied topically to affected areas. Salicylic acid is effective in reducing inflammation and redness associated with acne, as well as removing dead skin cells.
Side effects may include local irritation, dryness, or peeling of the skin, especially in individuals with sensitive skin. Overuse can lead to salicylate toxicity, so it is important to use it as directed.
Patients using salicylic acid should avoid excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen, as the skin may become more sensitive to UV radiation.
