Aspirin/Sulfur is used topically to treat acne vulgaris, seborrheic dermatitis, rosacea, and certain types of eczema. It may also be prescribed for psoriasis and other conditions involving flaky, itchy, or inflamed skin.
Aspirin provides anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, while sulfur acts as a keratolytic agent that helps shed dead skin cells and has mild antibacterial and antifungal properties. Together, they help reduce skin inflammation, unclog pores, and decrease microbial overgrowth on the skin's surface.
This medication is for topical use only and should not be ingested. Common side effects may include skin irritation, dryness, or peeling at the application site.
