Salicylic acid treatments, can you give me some info on that plz?
I had bad acne, used so many things prescribed by the doc but nothing worked. Went to a doc in pak and the results were awesome within 3 weeks. He gave me antibiotic tablets and a lotion to put on the spots at night. there was no name of the lotion and he said he makes it himself. about year and half down the road, i've got a breakout again :( .. doc has prescribed Duac and some antibiotics, lets see how it goes. I really need to start drinking lots of water and fruits!
The treatments are basically chemical skin peels that take off the top most layers of your skin, basically where all the damage is. It gets into the root of the problem and disinfects where all the bacteria have gotten into. I had my 3rd one today and Alhumdulillah Im so happy. My face is shiny, bright, my scars are going away slowly, I feel SO different now!!! Its amazing, Alhumdulillah!
The only thing is, sunscreen is VERY important when you are done with a peel as your skin is exposed and needs protection.
I used Duac, Retin A, Benzoyl Peroxide, one other medication Im forgetting, etc. Everything works for only a few weeks and always has a side effect on me. Like extremely dry skin, itching, rashes, blotchiness, peeling, etc.
The peel was a last resort for me as NOTHING else was working.
Go to a dermatologist's office for a peel, not a salon.
