Whitfields Ointment Anti Fungal 25G

Whitfield ointment is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat eczema, psoriasis, skin irritation and inflammation caused by burns, insect bites, fungal infections. Whitfield s ointment also treats dermatophyte (fungi) infection of the scalp (tinea capitis), glabrous (hairless) skin and skin folds. Eczema is a condition in which skin patches become inflamed, itchy, cracked, and rough. Some types of eczema can also lead to blisters (a small bubble on the skin that is filled with serum and is caused by friction, burning, or other damage). Psoriasis is a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply up to 10 times faster than usual, leading to skin build-up into bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales. These commonly appear on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin.
