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.


What is the best skin care product I can buy to prevent acne?

The best skin care product you can buy to prevent acne is any product that includes at least 1% salicylic acid as an active ingredient. The higher the percentage of this ingredient (over-the-counter products typically contain no more than 2%, as salicylic acid can be drying), the more effective it is. Examples of products with this active ingredient in the right proportion include Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Control Moisturizer and Neutrogena Acne Clear Rapid Daily.

Why aspirin gives voilet clr with ferric chloride?

Ferric chloride, or iron(III) chloride will not react with aspirin. It will, however, react with salicylic acid, which is used to synthesize aspirin. In this light, adding an aqueous ferric chloride solution to a sample of aspirin is a good way to see if there is any unreacted salicylic acid. A purple color is an indication of salicylic acid. A sample of pure aspirin should not exhibit any color change.


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.


What is the dissociation constant or Ka for salicylic acid?

3.9 x 10^-6 The above value could be true. However, it also depends on the concentration of the acid and base at that given experiment. In a general sense, it would have a Ka value of somewhere in the 10^-6 range. P.S. Correct me if I am wrong by any given chance


Is it good to apply paste on face for getting rid of pimples?

Tooth paste might dry out the skin, but it is actually scientifically proven to actually irritate the pimple, and potentially worsen it. The best thing to do if you don't have acne treatments like salicylic acid or acne spot treatment gels is to mash up an aspirin tablet and mix it with water because it contains high amounts of salicylic acid, that dries out pimples so that they reduce faster. Don't use Tylenol (acetaminophen) - it does not contain any salicylic acid, which is what you need
