Salicylic Acid-cleanser

Drug Details

Salicylic acid is a topical treatment designed to address psoriasis and various dry, scaly skin conditions. Additionally, it aids in the removal of dead skin from warts, as well as the palms and soles. As a member of the salicylate family, akin to aspirin, this medication enhances skin moisture and breaks down the bonds between skin cells. This process facilitates the removal of dead skin cells, softens the skin's outer layer, and reduces scaling and dryness. It is important to note that salicylic acid should not be used on children under the age of 2.
