What are the possible side effects of ammonium lactate?
Serious side effects from ammonium lactate use are not expected. Stop using ammonium lactate and see your doctor if you experience unusual or severe itching, burning, or stinging of the skin.
Mild burning, stinging, itching, redness, or irritation is likely to occur. If it seems excessive, contact your doctor.
Other, less serious side effects may, rarely, occur. Continue to use ammonium lactate and talk to your doctor if you experience
peeling,
darkening or lightening of skin,
eczema,
bruising,
swelling, or
dryness.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
