What is Acneaway Cream?
Acneaway Cream is a potent "triple-action" medicated cream manufactured by Lesanto Laboratories and imported to Nigeria by Elbe Pharma. It is specially formulated to treat skin conditions where inflammation is complicated by bacterial or fungal infections.
How it Works (Active Ingredients)
Acneaway combines three powerful ingredients for comprehensive skin relief:
- Triamcinolone Acetonide (1mg): A corticosteroid that helps reduce swelling, redness, and itching.
- Econazole Nitrate (10mg): An antifungal agent effective against ringworm, tinea, and candidiasis.
- Gentamicin Sulphate (1mg): A broad-spectrum antibiotic that targets bacterial skin infections.
Uses and Indications
This cream is primarily used for the treatment of:
- Infected Acne and Pimples: Helps clear the bacterial infection and reduce inflammation.
- Eczema and Dermatitis: Provides relief from itchy, inflamed skin patches.
- Fungal Infections: Effective against ringworm (tinea) and other fungal skin conditions.
- Inflammatory Dermatomycoses: Skin conditions with both fungal growth and significant inflammation.
Important Safety Warning
Acneaway is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM) and contains a potent steroid. It should not be used as a regular face cream or for "toning." Prolonged or incorrect use on the face can lead to skin thinning, stretch marks, or acne flares. Always use it for the short duration recommended by your healthcare provider.
If you have questions about whether this product is right for your skin condition, you can chat with a GoMed pharmacist for professional advice.
How to Apply
Apply a thin layer of Acneaway Cream to the affected area as directed by your doctor. Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application. Wash your hands thoroughly after use unless the hands are the area being treated.
