Whether glycolic acid is effective in treating periceratous keratosis

Periceratous keratosis often plagues many patients. Glycolic acid has attracted much attention in the field of skin care, and its effect on periceratous keratosis deserves further investigation.

Glycolic acid, as an alpha-hydroxy acid, has unique chemical properties. It can promote the normal shedding and renewal of stratum corneum cells by reducing the adhesion between keratinocytes. For periceratous keratosis, keratinocytes are over-keratinized and abnormally accumulated, and this property of glycolic acid may play a positive role.

From the actual effect, some clinical studies have shown that skin care products or treatment methods containing glycolic acid can improve the symptoms of periceratous keratosis to a certain extent. Glycolic acid can gradually soften and loosen the keratinocytes on the surface of the skin, thereby reducing the blockage of the hair follicle mouth. Long-term and regular use of glycolic acid products at appropriate concentrations can be observed to reduce the roughness of the skin, reduce the number of papules, and make the appearance of the skin smoother.

However, the efficacy of glycolic acid on pericarcinoma is not absolute. There are differences in the response of different individuals to glycolic acid, which is related to the individual's skin sensitivity, the severity of pericarcinoma and many other factors. Some people with sensitive skin may experience skin redness, tingling, desquamation and other uncomfortable symptoms after using glycolic acid, which may cause certain irritation to the skin and affect the normal life and treatment process.

In addition, even if glycolic acid has a certain curative effect on pericrokeratosis, it needs to be used correctly. The use concentration should be gradual, starting from a low concentration to try, and at the same time do a good job of moisturizing and sun protection of the skin to ensure that the effect of glycolic acid is exerted while minimizing its adverse effects on the skin.

In summary, glycolic acid has a certain potential curative effect on pericrokeratosis, but individual differences and use methods and other factors will significantly affect its actual effect. It needs to be carefully evaluated and used rationally when applying.
