DGF Whitfield's Ointment 20g (Compound Benzoic Acid Ointment)
DGF Whitfield's Ointment is a trusted double-action treatment in Nigeria for clearing fungal skin infections. Manufactured by Drugfield Pharmaceuticals Limited, this "Compound Benzoic Acid Ointment" combines antifungal action with skin-peeling benefits to restore healthy skin.
Effective Treatment for Ringworm and Skin Infections
This ointment is highly effective for treating common skin conditions including:
- Ringworm (Tinea corporis): Quickly clears circular, itchy rashes.
- Athlete’s Foot (Tinea pedis): Relieves peeling and itching between the toes.
- Jock Itch (Tinea cruris): Treats fungal infections in the groin area.
- Hyperkeratotic Conditions: Helps soften and remove thickened, scaly skin or calluses.
Double Action Formula for Fast Relief
DGF Whitfield's Ointment contains two powerful active ingredients that work together for faster results:
- Benzoic Acid (6%): A potent antifungal agent that stops the growth of fungi.
- Salicylic Acid (3%): A keratolytic agent that helps shed the outer layer of infected skin. This allows the Benzoic acid to penetrate deeper to kill the fungus at the source.
How to Use Whitfield's Ointment
To get the best results and prevent the infection from spreading, follow these steps:
- Clean and Dry: Wash the affected area with mild soap and pat it thoroughly dry.
- Apply Thinly: Massage a thin layer of the ointment onto the affected area twice daily (morning and evening).
- Be Consistent: Continue use for 2–4 weeks as recommended by your doctor or GoMed pharmacist to ensure the fungus is completely cleared and does not return.
Important Safety Information
- External Use Only: Avoid contact with eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Can I use Whitfield's ointment on my face?: Do not use on the face unless directed by a healthcare professional. It is not a recommended treatment for acne or pimples as it can cause irritation.
