Persol gel or soap

2015-09-21 18:15:09
Dermatologist gave me some medicines . Tretiva (10mg), Althrocin (250mg), Persol Ac(2.5%) To apply on back. So I wanted to know if I could apply it on my face as well. Also the gel is inconvenient to apply  on back so could I use the Persol soap as an alternative

Hi The creams can cause severe dryness over the face as well as increase the sensitivity of the skin to sun.  They need to be used in combination with sunscreen and moisturiser for best results. Please remember these are medical creams and have to be taken under medical supervision
