Frequently asked questions FOR Topsalic
Betamethasone
Q. How does Betamethasone work?
Betamethasone works by decreasing the inflammation caused by allergies. It reduces inflammation by blocking the release of certain natural substances that cause allergic symptoms such as swelling, redness, and pain.
Q. Is Betamethasone safe to use?
Betamethasone is safe to use when used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. You should not take this medicine if you are allergic to Betamethasone or any of the other ingredients of this medicine. Furthermore, you should not take Betamethasone if you have an infection and have not yet started medicine (e.g., antibiotics) to treat it.
Q. Does Betamethasone cause hair loss?
No, Betamethasone is not known to cause hair loss. In fact, it may cause an increase in body hair growth (especially in females) on long-term use. Talk to your doctor if you get excessive hair growth on your body while taking Betamethasone.
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.
