Glycolic Acid Treatment for Keratosis Pilaris Before and After
Before and after the treatment of periceratosis with fruit acid
periceratosis, it is more common in the extension of the limbs, and the appearance is like chicken skin, which plagues many patients. In the treatment of fruit acid for this disease, the effect is remarkable.
Before treatment, the patient's skin condition is not good. Taking the arm as an example, the hair follicle mouth is significantly keratinized, forming many solid papules the size of needles to miles, with a skin tone or light red, densely distributed, and rough like sandpaper. When you look closely, you can see light brown keratin plugs on the top of the papules, containing curly hair. This situation not only affects the appearance of the skin, but also some patients experience inferiority complex due to the appearance, and even reduce social activities, which has a certain impact on the quality of life.
After the treatment with fruit acid, the skin has undergone significant changes. The cuticle suppositories gradually softened and fell off, the pimples became significantly flattened and smaller, and the skin roughness was greatly reduced and became smoother. The skin tone also gradually evened, the reddish pimples subsided, the overall texture of the skin improved, and the skin returned to its former delicacy and luster. The patient regained confidence, was willing to show his skin, actively participated in social activities, and improved his life. This transformation is undoubtedly due to the excellent effect of fruit acid in loosening the cuticle and promoting the renewal of the stratum corneum, which has brought new hope to patients with pericarcinoma.
