Cutisoft Lotion 50ml

Cutisoft Lotion is employed to manage a variety of skin conditions:

• Controlling dermatitis, characterised by itchy, swollen or rough skin

• Regulating eczema, causing skin to turn red, itchy, cracked and rough

• Handling reactions to insect bites or stings that cause localised skin reactions

Cutisoft Lotion is intended for external use on the skin. Here are some simple steps to follow:

• Wash your hands before and after application unless your hands are the area being managed.

• Clean and dry the affected areas of skin before application.

• Rub a thin layer of Cutisoft Lotion gently into the skin as directed by your doctor.

• Be careful to avoid contact with your eyes, nose or mouth. Rinse with water if contact occurs.

• Don't cover the managed area with bandages unless advised by your doctor.

• Consult your doctor for specific instructions based on your condition.

Cutisoft Lotion is applied topically.

Cutisoft Lotion contains hydrocortisone (1%):

• Inhibition of Chemical Messengers: Hydrocortisone works within the skin cells to reduce the production of chemical messengers called prostaglandins and leukotrienes. These chemicals are usually released when the skin reacts to allergens or irritants, leading to inflammation - redness, itching and swelling at the site.

• Reducing Inflammation: Hydrocortisone decreases the release of these inflammatory substances in our body. This helps in reducing swelling, redness and itching associated with various skin conditions.

• Store Cutisoft Lotion at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Ensure the bottle is firmly shut when not in use.

• Keep it out of reach of children and pets.

• Do not freeze the lotion.

• For conditions like eczema and dermatitis, avoid known allergens in your diet as they may exacerbate skin inflammation. These could include certain types of nuts, dairy products, or gluten, depending on your specific allergies.

• Protect your skin from insect bites by using appropriate repellents or protective clothing when in areas where insects are prevalent to avoid localised reactions that Cutisoft Lotion manages.
