How to use Keralin Ointment

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and gently massage the ointment.

How Keralin Ointment works

Keralin Ointment is a combination of three medicines: Benzoic Acid, Hydrocortisone and Salicylic Acid. Benzoic Acid is an antiseptic. Hydrocortisone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic medicine which breaks down keratin clumps, removes dead skin cells and softens the skin. It also enhances the absorption of Hydrocortisone into the skin.

Quick tips

It may take several weeks to show its action. Keep using it as suggested by your doctor.
Wash your skin with a mild cleanser and pat it dry before applying Keralin Ointment.
Apply it as a thin layer onto a clean, dry, unbroken infected area of skin.
It may cause minor burning, stinging or irritation when applied. Inform your doctor if this does not go away.
Avoid contact with your eyes, nose or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas.
Use moisturizer regularly to overcome the skin dryness during the course of treatment.
