But sulfur can have many adverse effects, so you should consult or read the instructions of the product that you are using. Starters are recommended to wash their skin after few minutes of usage, as sulfur dries your skin which can result in itching or irritation. If any of the symptoms like redness, dryness, peeling or skin irritation occurs, then you should give a thorough wash and stop further usage .With everything kept in mind and done in a proper method, sulfur treatment is a boon for the people suffering from pimples or black heads.
