Skineal Triple Action Cream 15g

Skineal Cream is a highly effective, broad-spectrum medication commonly used across Nigeria to treat mixed skin infections. As a "triple action" cream, it provides antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory relief, making it a versatile choice for various skin concerns when used correctly.

What is Skineal Cream used for?

Skineal is primarily formulated for the short-term treatment of inflammatory skin conditions that are complicated by fungal or bacterial infections. It is very effective for:

• Fungal Infections: Including ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), and jock itch.
• Bacterial Infections: Helps clear minor infections caused by bacteria.
• Eczema and Dermatitis: Rapidly reduces redness, swelling, and that "pepperish" burning sensation or itching associated with these conditions.

Active Ingredients

Each gram of Skineal contains a powerful combination:

• Ketoconazole (10mg): To stop the growth of fungi.
• Clobetasol Propionate (0.25mg): A high-potency steroid to reduce inflammation and itching.
• Neomycin Sulfate (5000 IU): An antibiotic to combat bacterial growth.

How to use Skineal Cream correctly

For the best results and to ensure safety:

1. Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly.
2. Apply a thin layer of the cream twice daily (usually morning and night).
3. Gently massage it into the skin until it disappears.
4. Important: Only use it for the duration recommended by your healthcare provider, usually not exceeding 2 weeks.

Safety Warnings & Misuse

While Skineal is powerful, it must be used with caution. Many people in Nigeria mistakenly use it for "pimples" or as a "bleaching cream" to lighten the skin.

• Not for Face: Do not use Skineal as a general face cream unless specifically instructed by a doctor.
• Avoid Long-term Use: Prolonged use can lead to skin thinning (atrophy), stretch marks, and other permanent damage.
• Consult a Professional: If you are unsure if this is the right treatment for your skin rash, it is best to contact a GoMed pharmacist for expert advice.

Storage

Keep your tube of Skineal in a cool, dry place (below 30°C) and away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is kept out of the reach of children.
