Salicylic acid: Stop using it. Call your doc for a substitute. Use tylenol, (acetaminophen) antihistamines (if needed) and cortisone creams.

Burn by washing my face with salicylic acid using a silicone scrubberand then applying trifarotene 0.005% (Aklief) at night. How can I repair my skin barrier? Even washing my face with mild, non-soap cleansers like Cetaphil burns. Peeling and red too?
