In Acne Akralic 6% Ointment works by stopping the growth of bacteria causing acne on your skin. It reduces oil production in the skin, replenishes acne-prone skin, and keeps your pores open. It may take several weeks before your symptoms improve so you need to keep using this medicine even if it appears not to be working. Sometimes acne may get worse before it gets better, however, with proper use, your skin will get clearer. The earlier you start using it, the less likely you are to get scars.

What skin conditions is Akralic 6% Ointment used for?::: Akralic 6% Ointment is used for skin conditions where the skin becomes thick, hard, or scaly. These include psoriasis, ichthyosis, keratosis pilaris, thickened skin on the palms and soles, pityriasis rubra pilaris, and certain hyperkeratotic warts and lesions.| Can Akralic 6% Ointment be used on large areas of the body?::: It should be used only on the affected areas and not over large body surfaces unless advised by a doctor. Using it over large areas for a long time may increase absorption and raise the risk of side effects, especially in children and people with kidney or liver problems.| Why is it advised not to cover the treated skin tightly?::: Covering the treated area with tight bandages or occlusive dressings can increase how much the medicine is absorbed through the skin. This may raise the risk of irritation or unwanted side effects and should be avoided unless specifically recommended by a doctor.| Can Akralic 6% Ointment be used along with other skin medicines?::: Caution is needed when using other medicines that contain salicylates or products that strongly exfoliate the skin. Using multiple such products together can increase irritation or systemic exposure. Always inform your doctor about other topical treatments you are using.| What should I do if my skin becomes very red or starts peeling excessively?::: Mild peeling is expected, but if you develop severe redness, burning, or excessive scaling, stop using the medicine and consult your doctor. Reducing the frequency of application or using a bland moisturiser may help in mild cases.| Who should avoid using Akralic 6% Ointment?::: Akralic 6% Ointment should not be used by children under 2 years of age or by people who are allergic to salicylic acid. Extra caution is needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and it should be used only if clearly advised by a doctor.
Akralic 6% Ointment works as a keratolytic agent (a substance that promotes the shedding of the skin's outermost layer) that helps loosen and remove the outer, thickened layer of the skin. It breaks down the material that holds dead skin cells together, allowing scales to shed more easily. This softens rough, thickened skin and helps restore a healthier skin surface in hyperkeratotic skin disorders.
