Hi, this may seem like a silly question, but I hope someone can help me out.
I have a friend who has asthma but also Keratosis pilaris which is basically is ingrown hair in the arms.
I heard salicylic acid (beta hydroxy) lotions can help with this condition, but I also know that aspirin which is a close chemical relative to salicylic acid can exacerbate asthma...
Does anyone know if an external use of salicylic acid is known to cause any problems with asthma?
Thanks :-)

hi,
Salicylic acid isn't the same as ASA.....it shouldn't have any effect on her asthma ..... unless she was totally allergic to it.
I use it on my face for pimples. It's a perfect exfoliant and applied topically.
I hope it's successful in treating the problem.
