Frequently asked questions about Salicylic Acid
Q. How should Salderm 12% Ointment be applied?
You should remove all of the make-up. Wash your hands and the affected area and gently dry. Put a thin layer of Salderm 12% Ointment cream on the affected skin, using your fingertips. Apply it to the entire area affected by acne, not just each spot. After applying, wash your hands thoroughly with water.
Q. Should Salderm 12% Ointment be left overnight?
At the beginning of the treatment, Salderm 12% Ointment is usually used once daily in the evening. The area is not washed off after application of Salderm 12% Ointment, so it can be left overnight unless you experience irritation. However, if you experience irritation, consult your doctor.
Q. What should prompt me to discontinue Salderm 12% Ointment?
You should discontinue Salderm 12% Ointment and consult your doctor if you experience severe local irritation, which means severe redness, dryness and itching and stinging/burning sensation.
Q. What precautions should be followed while applying Salderm 12% Ointment?
Use Salderm 12% Ointment only on your skin. Keep it away from areas like your eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and inside of the nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, wash the affected area with water immediately. Avoid using Salderm 12% Ointment on scratched or eroded skin and open wounds. Take care when using Salderm 12% Ointment on sensitive areas of skin such as your neck. Salderm 12% Ointment can make your skin more sensitive to the harmful effects of the sunlight.

The initial dose is preferably once daily in the evening. Later, the doctor will gradually increase the dose to twice daily (most probably morning and evening).
Q. How long does Salderm 12% Ointment take to show its effects?
You may see an improvement after 4-6 weeks of treatment. You may need to use this treatment for longer to see the full benefits. This is normal for acne treatments. If your acne does not get better after 1 month or if it gets worse, talk to your doctor immediately.
Q. How long does Salderm 12% Ointment take to work?
Usually, Salderm 12% Ointment starts to clear acne within a few days of using it. However, for significant results with acne, it may take around 8 weeks of regular use of Salderm 12% Ointment.

Inform your doctor if your acne doesn’t clean up after finishing the full course of treatment. Also, inform him if your symptoms are getting worse while using this medicine.
