| Core Tip |
A high concentration of glycolic acid (50%, 70%) was applied to 25 subjects who were suffered from keratosis pilaris. The treatment was repeated every 20 d for a total of four times, 20 d after each treatment, perifollicular erythema, papules, pigmentation were evaluated by spectrophotometer, counting and Mexameter® respectively. According to the results, we found a high concentration of glycolic acid showed a therapeutic effect on perifollicular erythema, papules and pigmentation, and as the number of treatments and the concentration of glycolic acid increased, the therapeutic effect further improved, but the long-term effect was not observed. |
