Frequently asked questions FOR Derobin
Salicylic Acid
Q. How should Salicylic Acid 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 Salicylic Acid 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 Salicylic Acid be left overnight?
At the beginning of the treatment, Salicylic Acid is usually used once daily in the evening. The area is not washed off after application of Salicylic Acid, 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 Salicylic Acid?
You should discontinue Salicylic Acid and consult your doctor if you experience severe local irritation, which means severe redness, dryness and itching and stinging/burning sensation.
Dithranol
Q. How to use Dithranol?
Before using Dithranol, clean and dry the affected area. Gently and thoroughly massage it into the skin. Be careful not to get the medication in your eyes or mouth. If Dithranol accidentally gets in your eyes, wash with plenty of water and call your doctor if your eyes are irritated.
Q. Can I overuse Dithranol?
No, do not use more of Dithranol for long periods or on large areas of skin. Follow the doctor’s advice strictly. Overuse can result in over-absorption of the medicine into the body. This may lead to the thinning or weakening of the skin and other serious side effects. If you are experiencing increased severity of your symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Q. Can I stop taking Dithranol when I feel well?
No, do not stop Dithranol even if you start to feel better. You should finish the full course of treatment. Consult your doctor if you experience any discomfort or increased symptoms while using Dithranol.
