Most side effects of Dersol are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
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.
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.
For external use only. Avoid large-area application, prolonged use, or use in children without medical advice due to risk of salicylate toxicity. Do not use in diabetic patients, peripheral vascular disease, or neuropathy unless advised. Stop if severe irritation occurs.
Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.
An overdose of this medicine can cause severe irritation when far too much cream is applied; an oral retinoid taken in excess can cause headache, vomiting and liver injury. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Store below 25°C, protect from heat and direct sunlight. Keep tightly closed.
