Acetic acid is the chemical that gives vinegar its characteristic smell and taste. "Glacial" means water-free (no H2O). Glacial acetic acid is simply "pure" acetic acid. It is very strong and will burn the skin. Normal vinegar is mostly water with about 5% acetic acid.
Glacial acetic acid should be a safe additive in food as long as the final concentration is less than 25%.

Can you use salicylic acid when pregnant?
It is not safe to use any medications either prescribed or over the counter without approval of your healthcare provider.My doctor approved only Tylenol for pain and Dramamine for nausea. Aspirin or aspirin-containing medicines are never acceptable in pregnancy.Salicylic Acid is NOT aspirin. Aspirin is "acetyl salicylic acid" or ASA. Salicylic acid is commonly an ingredient in topical acne solutions, dandruff control products and wart remover. Check with your doctor before using salicylic acid during pregnancy or nursing.My doctor reccomended using salicylic acid as a replacement for my prescription acne medication. He said that both the face/body washes and the topical treatments are perfecly safe, and so far they have worked wonderfully!Funny, my doctor told me NOT to use salyclic acid while pregnant. Also not to use anything with benzoyl peroxide or glycolic acid. Basically for my pregnancy related acne I was told to leave it untreated until I was at least in my third trimester - and not use a topical or oral medication for it.My doctor told me that many OB/GYNs are divided on this issue. Some say it's not harmful at all (she was in this category), others do not recommend it. The truth is, there have not been sufficient tests to determine if there is a harmful effect on babies in the womb when his/her mother uses salicylic acid topical treatment. Other prescription acne medications are definitely a no-no -- but concerning salicylic acid, follow your doctor's recommendations and be at ease about it. If you can go without a treatment, that would be best, but if you need something, talk to your doctor about it.

I am not certain but I think what you are refering to is actually salicylic acid, a derivative of aspirin. Salicylic acid is used topically to reduce blemishes, I would not use hydrocodone for this purpose.
Salicylic acid ointment what is it use for?
Salicylic acid cream is any type of cream or lotion that contains salicylic acid as an active ingredient. Salicylic acid is used for the treatment of skin conditions, most commonly acne, psoriasis, and warts. The percentage of salicylic acid found in the salicylic acid cream generally determines what the cream is used for. When applied to the skin, the salicylic acid will help to soften thickened skin and slough off dead skin cells; this will reveal new, fresher skin underneath and allow other medicines to better penetrate the skin. It also helps to prevent whiteheads and blackheads from forming. Salicylic acid cream is often used on the face as an acne treatment. It should be used regularly for it to work most effectively; the product will not work as well if it is simply applied to a blackhead or blemish after one already exists. The creams that contain salicylic acid tend to work best as a preventative measure for acne. Some people find they have a sensitivity to salicylic acid cream; in that case, an acne cream that contains benzoyl peroxide is another option. Both of these products are used regularly for the treatment of acne, and some people find that one will simply work better than the other.
