SALICYLIX-SF6 OINT 50GM

Salicylix ointment is an anti-bacterial medicine; it belongs to the class of compounds called keratocystic and keratolytic agents. It is used to treat acne. This medicine works by attacking the germs that cause them.

The salicylix ointment works by stopping the growth of bacteria causing acne on your skin. It reduces oil production in the skin, replenishes acne-prone skin, and keeps your pores open. Sometimes, acne may worsen before it gets better; however, your skin will get clearer with proper use. The earlier you start using it, the less likely you are to get scars.

The salicylix ointment has some common side effects, including itching, stinging, peeling, and redness of the skin. They are not usually serious but tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away. This medicine can make you more sensitive to sunlight. While using it, you should try to avoid exposure to too much sunlight. You may need to apply smaller amounts.

If this is unavoidable, apply the gel in the evening. It can also bleach hair and fabrics, including clothes, so avoid contact with these. It is a safe medicine, but you should tell your doctor if you have other skin conditions and take any other medicines, especially those applied to the skin. It may not be suitable if you have very sensitive skin.
