Skineal Triple Action Cream 15g
Skineal Cream is a highly effective, triple-action topical medication widely used in Nigeria to treat a variety of skin conditions. It combines antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties into one powerful formula. This makes it a preferred choice for mixed infections where multiple symptoms like itching, redness, and swelling are present.
Skineal Cream Uses and Benefits
Skineal is primarily indicated for the treatment of:
- Fungal Infections: Including ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and candidiasis.
- Bacterial Infections: Effective against minor bacterial skin infections.
- Inflammatory Conditions: Such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis where itching and redness are prominent.
Active Ingredients
Each gram of Skineal contains:
- Ketoconazole (10mg): A potent antifungal that stops the growth of fungi.
- Clobetasol Propionate (0.25mg): A strong corticosteroid that rapidly reduces inflammation and itching.
- Neomycin Sulfate (5000 IU): An antibiotic that treats and prevents bacterial infections.
How to Use Skineal Cream
For best results, follow these steps:
- Wash and dry the affected area thoroughly.
- Apply a thin layer of the cream twice daily (morning and evening).
- Gently rub it in until it is absorbed.
- Do not use for more than 14 consecutive days unless advised by a healthcare professional.
Important Precautions and Side Effects
While Skineal is effective, it should be used with caution:
- Skineal cream for face: Avoid using on the face for long periods as it can cause skin thinning (atrophy).
- Side effects: Common side effects include mild burning, irritation, or dryness at the application site.
- Pregnancy: Consult your doctor before using Skineal if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
If you have questions about your skin condition, you can contact a GoMed pharmacist for professional advice.
