Treatment of Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a condition where the skin cells in the body grow too quickly and form scales and dry patches. They can grow anywhere, but most appear on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Salicure 17 Ointment reduces these scaly, itchy patches. Use it exactly as prescribed and for as long as it is prescribed to get the most benefits, as it may take several months to become fully effective. Avoid drinking alcohol while undergoing this treatment and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

How to use Salicure 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 Salicure Ointment works

Salicure 17 Ointment is a combination of salicylic acid and urea. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic medication. It reduces oil production in the skin, sloughs away dead skin cells, replenishes the skin, and keeps the pores open. Urea provides hydration to smoothen skin's texture and helps reduce the buildup of dead skin cells.

Quick tips

Before you apply Salicure 17 Ointment, wash the area with any medicated facewash and water and gently dry it with a towel.
Apply Salicure 17 Ointment to all of the area where your acne is present and not just to each acne.
Avoid contact with eyes, nose, and genitals. In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
Salicure 17 Ointment may make your skin sensitive to sunlight. Use protective measures, like sunscreen or wear protective clothing.
Inform your doctor if you notice unusual dryness, redness, and peeling of the skin.
Do not apply to open wounds or irritated skin.
Do not use urea in large amounts or for a longer duration than recommended.
Continue with the treatment as long as prescribed by your doctor. The most common reason for treatment failure is giving up too soon, thinking that the treatment is not working. However, if your skin has not improved even after completing the prescribed time, consult your doctor.
