    Chemical burn from salicylic acid?
    I don't have insurance or money. I am in my early 30s and I have moles that are beginning to become more raised and apparent(ones that I have had most of my life and were usually more like freckles) and also more age spots. I had some corn and callus remover and since it was salicylic acid(17%) I dabbed a bit on these spots. Of course they hardened over with the film, I left on for about 15 minutes and it was burning as I expected it to a little. I washed it off but it is difficult to remove. When I woke up this morning all the spots are red, one is more of a small lesion kind of purple/brown spot and still irritated. I applied a little ice and hydrocortisone cream along with a little vitamin E oil. I'm not sure if this is permanent damage or how long it may take to heal. Also been reading on if has caused hyper pigmentation, there are darker spots in the spot. Bad decision on my part, was just a quick desperate thought. I have also been using Palmers fade cream on these spots for a short time.

    Moles? What if they're cancerous. I never head of pealing them away aren't they frozen or cut out?
