Epiderm Cream 30g: Triple-Action Relief for Skin Infections
Epiderm Cream is a well-known "triple action" medicated cream in Nigeria, manufactured by Shalina Healthcare. It is specifically formulated to provide fast relief for mixed skin infections involving bacteria, fungi, and inflammation.
This 30g tube is a versatile solution for common dermatological issues, combining a potent steroid, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, and two antifungal agents.
What is Epiderm Cream Used For?
Epiderm Cream is highly effective for treating various skin conditions. It is commonly used for:
- Fungal Infections: Including ringworm, athlete’s foot, and jock itch.
- Bacterial Infections: Treating minor infected wounds or skin sores.
- Inflammatory Conditions: Providing sharp relief from eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.
- Itching and Redness: Soothing rashes caused by allergies or heat.
Active Ingredients & Formula
The effectiveness of Epiderm comes from its four active ingredients:
- Betamethasone Dipropionate (0.0643% w/w): A strong corticosteroid to reduce swelling and itching.
- Gentamicin Sulphate (0.1% w/w): An antibiotic that kills infection-causing bacteria.
- Tolnaftate (1.0% w/w): A powerful agent for treating fungal skin conditions.
- Clioquinol (1.0% w/w): Provides additional antifungal and antiseptic protection.
Note: Recent 2026 batches may mention Niacinamide for skin barrier repair. Always check the packaging for the most current formulation.
How to Use Epiderm Cream Safely
- Wash the affected area and pat dry.
- Apply a thin layer of the cream to the skin.
- Use 2 to 3 times daily, or as directed by your doctor.
- Important: Do not use for more than 7 days unless advised by a healthcare professional. Prolonged use on the face can cause skin thinning.
