On the Method of Using Glycolic Acid for Peridermal Keratosis
Peridermal Keratosis, the disease of the skin, often causes rough skin and granular bumps. Although it is not a big problem, it will damage the appearance. Glycolic acid is very effective in relieving this disease.
If you want to use glycolic acid to treat peridermal keratosis, you should first know the skin's tolerance. When using it for the first time, it is advisable to choose a low concentration, such as 2% - 5% glycolic acid products. Apply a little to a small area of skin first, such as behind the ear or inside the arm, and wait for 24 hours to see if there is any redness, swelling, itching and other discomfort. If there is no adverse reaction, it can be used on the affected area.
How to use, after cleansing, apply the glycolic acid product evenly to the peri-hairy keratinization area with gentle movements. At first, you can use it every three days, until the skin gets used to it, and then gradually increase it to every two days, or follow the doctor's advice. Pay attention when using, do not enter sensitive parts such as eyes, mouth, nose, etc. If you accidentally touch it, rinse with water quickly.
After using glycolic acid, the skin's sensitivity to sunlight increases. Therefore, after daytime use, be sure to do a good job of sun protection. You can apply sunscreen, go out with long-sleeved clothing, wear a hat, and avoid direct sunlight.
During the period of using glycolic acid, the skin may feel dry. This needs to pay attention to moisturizing, and use moisturizing lotions or creams to moisturize the skin.
Glycolic acid is used for pericarp keratosis. Although it is effective, it is not a panacea. If the symptoms are serious or there is no improvement after long-term use, seek medical attention in time and seek professional help.
