Can i use 20% salicylic acid to take care of razor bumps and scars on the back of the neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oh my no!: Salicyclic acid is used for plantar warts and is pretty destructive to skin. Razor bumps are from skin irritation; scars are permanent, improve with time, and may improve with topical medications such as mederma. Don't use salicylic acid!
