Q. Can you use Halobetasol on broken skin?
No, Halobetasol should not be applied on broken skin. It is a steroid, which means that it works by suppressing the immune system. It may cause varied side effects which can slow the healing process. Moreover, steroids are also known to cause skin atrophy which might worsen the associated condition.
Q. Does Halobetasol cause local irritation or skin reactions?
Yes, Halobetasol may cause local skin reactions like burning, itching, irritation, dryness and hypopigmentation in sensitive individuals, although it is rare. Therefore, it is important to inform your doctor if you have any history of allergy or reaction before you start therapy with this medicine. In some cases, the reason for reactions could be the ingredients that are included in the drug. In case of any reaction, stop the medication immediately and inform the doctor.
Q. Are Ulobetasol and Halobetasol the same?
Yes, these two are the same medicine. Ulobetasol is an alternate chemical name for Halobetasol. They both are steroids that can be applied topically.
Q. What precautions do I need to take while using Halobetasol?
Be careful not to get Halobetasol into your eyes or mouth. If you happen to get it in your eyes, rinse off with plenty of water immediately and contact your doctor. You must not use Halobetasol if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Tell your doctor if you notice any allergic reaction while using it for the first time. Inform your doctor if you are taking any medicines regularly to prevent any allergic reaction with other medicines. Do not cover the area being treated with Halobetasol with a bandage, as this may increase absorption of this medicine and increase the side effects. Do not use more than what is recommended to relieve your symptoms faster. Using more than what is advised will only increase the side effects. Let your doctor know if you are planning to conceive. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should use Halobetasol only if prescribed by the doctor.

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.

Q. What precautions should be followed while applying Salicylic Acid?
Use Salicylic Acid only on your skin. Keep it away from areas like your eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and inside of the nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, wash the affected area with water immediately. Avoid using Salicylic Acid on scratched or eroded skin and open wounds. Take care when using Salicylic Acid on sensitive areas of skin such as your neck. Salicylic Acid can make your skin more sensitive to the harmful effects of the sunlight. So, avoid the use of sunbeds/lamps and minimize the time you spend in the sun. You should use sunscreen and wear protective clothing while using Salicylic Acid. Avoid contact with hair as Salicylic Acid has bleaching properties. It can even bleach dyed or colored fabric, furniture or carpeting.
Q. How often should I apply Salicylic Acid?
The initial dose is preferably once daily in the evening. Later, the doctor will gradually increase the dose to twice daily (most probably morning and evening).
Q. How long does Salicylic Acid take to show its effects?
You may see an improvement after 4-6 weeks of treatment. You may need to use this treatment for longer to see the full benefits. This is normal for acne treatments. If your acne does not get better after 1 month or if it gets worse, talk to your doctor immediately.
Q. Do you apply moisturizer before or after Salicylic Acid?
You may apply moisturizer an hour after applying Salicylic Acid. Consult your doctor in case of any doubt or concern.
