Salvax Information:

• What

What is Salvax?

Salvax comes in the form of foam that can be applied directly to the affected skin. Containing 6% salicylic acid, Salvax works by loosening and softening the dry, scaly, or thickened outer layer of skin associated with hyperkeratotic disorders, acne, and warts, thereby letting the infected skin shed more easily. This helps to relieve redness, itching, scaling, cracking and other symptoms associated with these skin problems.

• How

How do I use Salvax?

Use Salvax as prescribed and directed by your doctor or healthcare provider. Check the label for exact instructions. If it is your first time using Salvax, prime the pump by shaking vigorously and then holding the can upright away from your face while pressing down on the pump for 3-5 seconds, or until the foam appears. Before each use, be sure to shake the can well. For optimal results, soak the affected area with water for at least 5 minutes before the application of the Salvax foam. To apply the foam, hold the can upright and dispense the foam onto the palm of your hand, and apply to affected area by rubbing in the foam completely. Wipe off excess foam from pump after each use, and wash your hands immediately after using Salvax foam (unless your hands are the affected area). Apply Salvax at bedtime and wash it off the following morning, unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider. If excess dry skin or irritation occurs, you may be able to use a mild skin lotion or cream to moisturize the area, but talk to your doctor first.
