Derobin Ointment 30g

• Avoid contact with healthy skin, face, eyes, nostrils, lips, genital areas, and mucous membranes.
• If accidental contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
• For external use only.

✔️ How Derobin Ointment Works

• Dithranol suppresses overactive skin cell production, which is a hallmark of psoriasis.
• Salicylic acid exfoliates the outer layer of dead skin, easing scaling and allowing other ingredients to penetrate more effectively.
• Coal tar slows skin cell growth and alleviates itching and discomfort by reducing inflammation.

✔️ Therapeutic Uses

• Psoriasis Management: Relieves itching, scaling, and skin thickening by normalizing skin cell turnover.
• Eczema Relief: Soothes irritated and dry skin, reduces inflammation, and supports skin barrier repair.
• Dermatitis Treatment: Alleviates redness, swelling, and discomfort in various forms of dermatitis.
• Itch and Inflammation Reduction: Provides symptomatic relief from itching and irritation caused by allergens or skin conditions.
• Moisturization: Acts as an emollient to soften dry, scaly skin and help retain moisture.

✔️ Lifestyle & Dietary Tips

• Reduce intake of processed foods, sugars, and dairy that may worsen inflammation.
• Increase omega-3-rich foods such as salmon, walnuts, and flax seeds.
• Practice stress-reduction techniques like yoga or meditation.
• Avoid harsh soaps, detergents, and abrasive fabrics.
