How Protectoderm Ointment works

Protectoderm Ointment is a combination of four medicines. Dimethicone helps to moisturize the skin to prevent dryness and itchiness. Zinc Oxide provides nutrients to the skin. Calamine has mild astringent and antipruritic actions. It is an anti-itch medication that works by causing a cooling sensation as it evaporates on your skin. Cetrimide is an antiseptic that treats infection in the affected area and relieves irritation. Together they provide relief from itching.
