After Electrocautery treatments I got dark spots on my face. I tried using 4% Hydroquinone on them but it didn't work. Is Salicylic Acid good? Thank You.

Answer: Not really.
Hello,
Salicylic Acid peels are more like skin treatments or aids to other peeling agents. They work well to dry the skin up for acne control when used alone, but not for pigment or wrinkles.
Best Regards,

Answer: Salacylic acid for dark spots SA is a good choice for superficial skin issues such as sun spots and acne and skin texture. Used in combination with other treatments it can he helpful for other dark spots. The most likely issue you have is what is called postinflammatory hyperpigmentation form the cautery and this would be better treated by bleaching creams (prescription strength). Good luck and save the money on the peels and buy the cream.
