Product introduction

For genital warts, apply a thin layer of Nilwart Cream to the affected area at night, usually 3 times a week or as prescribed by your doctor. For actinic keratosis, use it as directed, typically for several weeks. Wash the area with soap and water before applying the medicine, and leave it on for the recommended duration (usually 6-10 hours). After that, wash the treated area thoroughly. Use it consistently for best results.

Some common side effects include redness, swelling, itching, or burning at the application site. These are usually mild and go away as your body adjusts to the medicine. If you experience severe irritation or signs of infection, such as pus or intense pain, discontinue use and consult your doctor. Using a moisturizer or barrier cream can help minimize discomfort caused by skin irritation.

Avoid applying Nilwart Cream on broken, irritated, or inflamed skin unless advised by your doctor. Limit sun exposure, as this medicine can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays, increasing the risk of sunburn. Wear sunscreen and protective clothing when outdoors. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine.

Benefits of Nilwart Cream

Treatment of Genital warts
Nilwart Cream is used for the treatment, control, prevention, and improvement of genital warts (skin bumps on or around the genital or anal area). It effectively removes the warts, promotes healing of injured skin and helps in formation of new healthy layers of skin.

Treatment of Actinic keratosis
Actinic keratosis is an abnormal rough and scaly growth of skin, due to long-term exposure to the sun. These lesions can lead to skin cancer and need medical attention. Nilwart Cream kills or stops the growth of cancer cells and also prevents the multiplication of cancer cells. This helps to prevent skin cancer and also improves the skin texture. Use it as prescribed by the doctor and follow all the instructions carefully.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How to use Nilwart Cream

Quick tips

Always wash and dry the affected area thoroughly before applying Nilwart Cream. This helps in better absorption and work more effectively.
Apply the cream at night, usually 2-3 times a week, and leave it on for the recommended 6-10 hours. Wash it off in the morning with mild soap and water.
If you experience skin irritation, redness, or dryness, consider using a mild, fragrance-free moisturizer to soothe the area.
Nilwart Cream can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. When using Nilwart Cream, avoid excessive sun exposure, and apply sunscreen or wear protective clothing outdoors to prevent sunburn.
