Key Benefits
Kersol 6 BZ Ointment 50 gm treats various skin infections, such as eczema, psoriasis. It consists of Betamethasone, Salicylic acid and Zinc oxide. Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. It treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema and psoriasis. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic medicine (softens, separates and causes desquamation (peeling) of the cornified epithelium or horny layer of skin). It increases the amount of moisture in the skin and dissolves the substance that causes the skin cells to stick together. Salicylic acid breaks down the clumps of keratin, removes dead skin cells, and softens the skin. It is also an anti-inflammatory agent and topical antibacterial. Zinc oxide is a mild antiseptic and astringent (cleanses skin and tightens pores). It is a mineral that treats minor burns, severely chapped skin and other minor skin irritations. When applied to the skin, it forms a barrier to protect it from moisture and irritants. Thus, it acts as a protective coating for mild skin irritations and abrasions. Kersol 6 BZ Ointment 50 gm removes the scaling and reduces the redness and itchiness due to skin infections.
