Actinic Keratosis is a pre-cancerous skin condition caused by sun exposure. Trichloroacetic Acid 20% Topical Solution treats this condition by removing the damaged skin cells, thereby allowing new, healthy skin to grow.

Seborrheic Keratosis, a benign skin condition characterized by waxy, scaly patches on the skin, can also be treated with Trichloroacetic Acid 20% Topical Solution. The solution works by eliminating the affected skin cells and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin.

Warts, which are caused by a virus, can be effectively treated with Trichloroacetic Acid 20% Topical Solution. The solution removes the affected skin cells and facilitates the growth of new, healthy skin.

Acne, a common skin condition caused by clogged pores, can be treated with Trichloroacetic Acid 20% Topical Solution. The solution works by removing the affected skin cells and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin.

Melasma, a skin condition characterized by dark patches on the skin, can be treated with Trichloroacetic Acid 20% Topical Solution. The solution removes the affected skin cells and facilitates the growth of new, healthy skin.

It is typically applied to the affected area once or twice a day for several weeks. If you have any questions about this formulation or its application, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This Trichloroacetic Acid 20% Topical Solution is a liquid formulation designed for external application to the skin. The solution is primarily used for the treatment of actinic keratosis, seborrheic keratosis, warts, acne, and melasma.

Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) functions by causing a controlled destruction of the skin's outer layers, aiding in the reduction of the appearance of these skin conditions. However, it is crucial to note that TCA is not recommended for use on the face due to its potential to cause significant irritation and burning. If required to be used on the face, it should be done with caution and under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

When treating actinic keratosis, seborrheic keratosis, warts, acne, or melasma, TCA should be applied to the affected area once or twice a week for a duration of up to 8 weeks. It is essential to avoid using TCA on irritated, sunburned skin, or on open wounds.

It is also important to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes when using this solution. In case of accidental contact, the area should be rinsed with water immediately. Caution is advised when using this product due to its potential to cause significant irritation and burning. If any adverse reactions occur, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately.

If you have any queries about using this formulation to treat actinic keratosis, seborrheic keratosis, warts, acne, or melasma, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
