SALICURE 6% OINTMENT 30GM belongs to the class of medications called ‘Keratolytic agents’ used to treat skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne. Eczema is a condition in which skin becomes red, itchy and inflamed due to external agents such as soaps, dyes or other irritants. Psoriasis is an autoimmune (immune system attacks healthy cells) skin disorder in which the skin becomes scaly, swelled up and itchy. Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. SALICURE 6% OINTMENT 30GM contains Salicylic acid and Urea. These two medicines are keratolytic agents, increase moisture in the skin, and dissolve the keratin (protein present on the skin's outer layer). This effect makes the dead skin cells fall off and accelerate the healing process. It also has an emollient effect and helps to soften the skin.
