How salicure ointment works
Salicure Ointment works as a keratolytic agent (a substance that promotes the shedding of the skin's outermost layer) that helps loosen and remove the outer, thickened layer of the skin. It breaks down the material that holds dead skin cells together, allowing scales to shed more easily. This softens rough, thickened skin and helps restore a healthier skin surface in hyperkeratotic skin disorders.

Expert advice FOR Salicure Ointment
- Apply Salicylic Acid only to the affected areas of thickened or scaly skin, and avoid spreading it onto normal skin to reduce irritation.
- Wash and gently hydrate the skin before application, as slightly moist skin helps the medicine work better.
- Use only the amount needed to cover the affected area; applying more will not speed up results and may increase side effects.
- Avoid covering the treated area with tight bandages or occlusive dressings unless your doctor specifically advises it, as this can increase absorption.
- Wash your hands after applying the product, unless your hands are the area being treated.
- If excessive dryness, redness, or peeling occurs, reduce the frequency of application or use a bland moisturiser to soothe the skin.

Q. What skin conditions is Salicure Ointment used for?
Salicure Ointment is used for skin conditions where the skin becomes thick, hard, or scaly. These include psoriasis, ichthyosis, keratosis pilaris, thickened skin on the palms and soles, pityriasis rubra pilaris, and certain hyperkeratotic warts and lesions.
Q. Can Salicure Ointment be used on large areas of the body?
It should be used only on the affected areas and not over large body surfaces unless advised by a doctor. Using it over large areas for a long time may increase absorption and raise the risk of side effects, especially in children and people with kidney or liver problems.
Q. Why is it advised not to cover the treated skin tightly?
Covering the treated area with tight bandages or occlusive dressings can increase how much the medicine is absorbed through the skin. This may raise the risk of irritation or unwanted side effects and should be avoided unless specifically recommended by a doctor.
