Hypersensitivity reactions may occur within minutes to a day or longer after product use and differ from local skin irritation (redness, burning, dryness, itching, peeling or slight swelling) that may occur at the site of product application. Treatment should be discontinued if hives or itching develop; patients should seek emergency medical attention if reactions such as throat tightness, difficulty breathing, feeling faint, or swelling of the eyes, face, lips, or tongue develop. Before using a topical OTC acne product for the first time, consumers should apply a small amount to 1 or 2 small affected areas for 3 days to make sure hypersensitivity symptoms do not develop (FDA Drug Safety Communication, 2014). Concurrent drug therapy issues: Salicylates: Do not combine use of topical salicylic acid with use of other salicylates or drugs that can increase salicylate serum concentrations; systemic absorption following topical use may occur and lead to toxicity (Menter 2009) Disease-related concerns: Hepatic impairment: Avoid prolonged use over large areas in patients with significant hepatic impairment; may result in salicylism. Renal impairment: Avoid prolonged use over large areas in patients with significant renal impairment; may result in salicylism. Special populations: Pediatric: Avoid prolonged use over large areas; may result in salicylism.
