Beating discoloration with salicylic acid
I’ve read all the sucess stories on here about the use of salicylic acid to get rid of discoloration, and yesterday applied 20% salicylic acid liquid and left it on for 7 minutes. The stuff sure does burn like hell, and it did cause the frosting effect i’ve seen mentioned, but today it seems to have gone completely back to normal, no redness/peeling or anything. Did I not do it correctly or something, surely the shedding should begin or I should see some kind of effect from it? I washed it off with firstly with baking soda mixed with water to neutralise (the part which hurt the most for a couple of seconds, am I supposed to do that?!) then just with water after leaving it on the entire shaft for 7 minutes. Any advice welcomed, thanks
