Uses of Zincoderm G Cream

What is it prescribed for?

• Bacterial skin infections

Bacteria enters into the skin through cuts or scratches causing bacterial skin infections such as cellulitis, impetigo ( a contagious skin infection that mainly affects infants and young children), folliculitis (a skin condition in which hair follicles become swollen) that are characterised by redness, warmth, swelling, itching and irritation of the skin. Zincoderm G Cream is used to kill bacteria and provide relief from such conditions.

• Dermatitis

Dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin characterized by itching, rash, and redness of the skin. Dermatitis is of various types such as atopic dermatitis (eczema), contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, etc. All these types of dermatitis are caused due to different factors such as allergic reaction, gene abnormalities, non-resolving skin injury and auto-immunity. Zincoderm G Cream is used to reduce the swelling and redness of the skin in these conditions.

• Psoriasis

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that results in dry, scaly and itchy skin. The skin becomes dry and is prone to various microbial infections. It is triggered by non-resolving microbial skin infections, stress and long-term exposure to cold and dehydration. Zincoderm G Cream is used to treat psoriasis.

• Lichen Planus

Zincoderm G Cream is used in the treatment of lichen planus which is an inflammation/swelling of the skin characterized by purplish, itchy, flat-topped pimples. The cause of this condition is not completely established but the major probability is that it is caused due to an autoimmune skin reaction towards an allergen or infection.
