Question 4

hi! i have mild acne and a few scars so if i use salicylic acid face wash or serum will it react with the moles on my face? and could you suggest me some salicylic acid products?

Accepted Answer

: Salicylic acid works by exfoliating the skin and unclogging pores, which can help to prevent acne breakouts. However, it is important to be cautious when using salicylic acid on areas of the skin that have moles, as it can potentially irritate or damage them. Some options available are, Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting, La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser...

Question 5

i have mild blackheads and whiteheads. i also have slight pigmentation due to acne. can i use salicylic acid cleanser on my whole face instead of only nose and chin. if so, how will salicylic acid react and damage the moles on my face?

Accepted Answer

: Salicylic acid would be fine to cleanse, and use in your toner, for the whole face. The concentration of salicylic acid that would affect moles is much more than that of the concentration used in cleansers and toners.

Question 9

i had corn on my finger, i put corn bandage(salicylic acid). later it became soft, i removed it. later new skin developed, now the corns are back!

Accepted Answer

Recurrent corn: First of all, think about why did the corn form on your finger. Very likely there was a lot of stress on that part of your finger. Result is the corn formation. If you are still getting a lot of stress on that finger part, then you will get another corn despite your removing it earlier.
