Salicyclic acid doubt

Posted by juliusnova @juliusnova, Mar 10, 2022

I've gotten dark-purple spots right below my eyelids after using salicylic acid ointment, I presume its because of overuse or rubbing it too much on skin.

any idea what it is and how I can cure it?

Hi @juliusnova and welcome to Connect. Sorry you are having a bad reaction to the acid.
I know that salicyclic acid is used to treat warts, skin tags, calluses, psoriasis, dandruff, acne, ringworm, and ichthyosis. What was the reason to use it on your undereye?
