User Comments about Salicylic acid
01 Jun 2011 I used a salicyclic acid liquid wart remover on a wart on my face. It did remove the wart, but, that patch of skin now grows hair, long fast growing thick hair!!! . It is many months later, and i still have a few bizzarre patches on my face, that grow in thick hairs!! Just in those spots. (i am female) I *guess* small patches of hair are better than a wart....

04 Aug 2009 I used salicylic acid wash to treat my acne and found that it was not very effective. It made my skin red and dry. I now use benzoyl peroxide which I find works much better.

17 Jun 2009 I used salicylic acid for my wart and it took a year before the wart would peel off. The skin around the wart turned white, until awhile after i stopped using it.
