How Dersol 12 Ointment Works
Salicylic acid softens keratin and breaks down the outer layer of thickened skin. This helps gradual shedding of dead skin and reduces hard, scaly buildup.
Dosage & Directions
Apply sparingly only to the affected thickened area once daily or as prescribed. Avoid surrounding normal skin; a protective barrier (e.g., petroleum jelly) may be applied around the lesion. Do not use on face, genitals or broken/irritated skin.
Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
