What is Nixoderm Tube Cream?
Nixoderm Tube Cream (15g) is a trusted medicated treatment for various skin conditions in Nigeria. Unlike the traditional tin, this tube version is formulated as a vanishing cream that absorbs easily without leaving a heavy residue. It is a powerful "tube cream" known for its antifungal, antiseptic, and keratolytic (skin-peeling) properties.
Uses of Nixoderm Cream
Nixoderm is widely considered one of the best tube creams for pimples in Nigeria. It is also effective for:
- Acne & Pimples: Helps dry out blemishes and clear pores.
- Eczema: Relieves itching and irritation.
- Fungal Infections: Treats ringworm and athlete’s foot.
- Skin Rashes: Soothes foot itch and general rashes.
Active Ingredients
The formula contains three key active ingredients:
- Benzoic Acid (6.0%): A potent antifungal agent.
- Salicylic Acid (2.5%): A keratolytic that helps remove dead skin and treat acne.
- Precipitated Sulfur (4.6%): Acts as an antiseptic and antiparasitic.
Nixoderm Side Effects: The "Burning" Sensation
A common question is: "Why does Nixoderm burn?" or "Why is it pepperish?". This sensation is normal and indicates the active ingredients are working.
- Tingling or Burning: Expected upon application.
- Skin Peeling: It may cause mild peeling as it clears the skin.
- Dryness: Can occur with frequent use.
If you have sensitive skin, you can apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly (like Vaseline) before using Nixoderm to reduce the heat.
