Salicylic Acid on dome
« on: June 23, 2018, 02:21:24 PM »
Salicylic Acid

Anyone use this on the dome?

I just started to use it as i suffer with acne on there. This stuff has brought out even more! Apparently that is the norm.

Any comments?

Well, not going to use it again! It has brought out loads of spots. Read it could badly reacting with skin. Some say to persevere for several weeks. No thanks.

Really think i need to get back to ysing a DE. One blade.

I use a skin cleaner with salycilic acid called "Seabreeze".  It is sold over the counter with different percentages of SA.  I buy it in bulk at the barber supply store.  I love it as a skin cleaner

You may remember that I have the skin issues when trying to grow out my hair. I have tried shampoo with salicylic acid in it, and it didn't work. A dermatologist gave me 2 prescriptions, a shampoo and a lotion to apply twice a day. Neither worked. If I shave daily, no problems. I accept this as a sign I'm destined to forever sport a shaved bald head. When someone has a hard time understanding why I am BBC, I use the dermatitis as an excuse. Easier than telling them I love having a shaved head!

I also tried every home remedy I read about, vinegar, peroxide, etc. I did just read that cleansing with Dawn dishsoap might work, haven't wanted to stop shaving, so haven't tried it. Good luck, hope you can find a solution.
Bald by choice, and loving it!
