What is Epiderm Cream 15g?
Epiderm Cream is a trusted, triple-action medicated cream manufactured by Shalina Healthcare. It is specifically formulated to provide fast relief from skin conditions where inflammation is complicated by fungal or bacterial infections. Whether you are dealing with persistent itching, redness, or swelling, Epiderm is a go-to solution in Nigeria for restored skin health.
Triple-Action Formula for Effective Healing
Unlike single-purpose creams, Epiderm combines four powerful active ingredients to target the root cause of skin irritation:
- Betamethasone Dipropionate: A potent corticosteroid that rapidly reduces inflammation, swelling, and that "pepperish" burning sensation.
- Gentamicin Sulphate: A broad-spectrum antibiotic that eliminates bacterial skin infections.
- Tolnaftate: A proven antifungal agent that clears infections like ringworm and athlete's foot.
- Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline (Clioquinol): Provides additional antifungal and antibacterial protection to ensure comprehensive healing.
Common Uses in Nigeria
Epiderm Cream is highly effective for a variety of skin concerns commonly referred to as "toilet infections" or general skin rashes:
- Fungal Infections: Ringworm (Tinea), athlete’s foot, and jock itch.
- Eczema & Dermatitis: Relieves the intense itching and redness associated with allergic skin reactions.
- Bacterial Infections: Treats minor infected wounds and pustules.
- Psoriasis: Helps manage and flatten thick, scaly skin patches.
How to Use Epiderm Cream
To get the best results and ensure your skin heals properly:
- Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly before application.
- Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected part 2 to 3 times daily.
- Gently massage it into the skin until it is fully absorbed.
- Always wash your hands after applying, unless your hands are the area being treated.
Important Precautions
- External Use Only: This product is for application on the skin only. Do not swallow or use in the eyes.
- Facial Use: Avoid using Epiderm on the face for long periods, as the potent steroid can thin the skin.
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: If you are pregnant or nursing, please consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor before use.
- Sensitivity: If you experience severe irritation or a rash after application, stop use and seek medical advice.
