How can I treat the skin darkening and dryness caused by using Medi Salic cream, and is there a safe cream I can use to help my skin recover?

Asked by Male, 19 · 12 days ago

The dryness and darkening are common side effects of Medi Salic cream (salicylic acid and betamethasone). First, please stop using this cream. To help your skin heal, apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizing cream containing ceramides or hyaluronic acid multiple times a day to restore your skin barrier. Crucially, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as your skin is currently very sensitive to the sun, which can worsen the darkening. If there is no improvement in a few weeks, please consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance.
