Mycoderm Lavender Powder 150Gm

Mycoderm Powder is a medicated dusting powder with antifungal and antiseptic properties used to manage superficial fungal skin infections and associated moisture-related discomfort. It may be used for conditions such as ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, and other superficial fungal infections affecting the skin. The formulation contains ingredients such as Salicylic Acid, Benzoic Acid, Menthol, and Starch, which help create a dry environment, soothe irritated skin, reduce itching, and support the management of fungal growth. The powder can also help absorb excess moisture and perspiration from the affected area, which is important because damp skin can encourage fungal growth. Its deodorising properties may help control unpleasant odour associated with excessive sweating. Apply Mycoderm Powder only to clean, dry, affected areas and use it according to the instructions provided by your doctor or healthcare professional.

• Benzoic Acid IP (6% w/w): Benzoic acid is a fungistatic and antiseptic agent. It inhibits the growth of fungi and bacteria, protecting the skin from infections. Its antimicrobial properties make it useful in managing minor skin irritations and infections.
   
• Salicylic Acid IP (5% w/w): Salicylic acid is a keratolytic and anti-inflammatory agent. It breaks down dead skin cells, allowing the skin to shed more easily, and helps in soothing irritated skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties can reduce redness and swelling, making it effective for skin conditions like acne or psoriasis.
   
• Menthol IP (0.08% w/w): Menthol provides a cooling sensation on the skin, which can relieve itching and discomfort. It has a mild analgesic effect and is often used in products for its soothing properties, temporarily relieving skin irritations.
   
• Starch IP (31% w/w): Starch acts as a moisture absorber, helping to keep the skin dry. It soothes irritation by reducing friction and managing excess moisture buildup, which can lead to chafing or rashes.
   
• Talc (Sterilised) IP (q.s.): Talc serves as a base, allowing the powder to spread easily on the skin. Its smooth, absorbent properties make it ideal for managing moisture buildup, which helps keep the skin dry and protected.

• Fungal Infections: Mycoderm powder may help in the management of fungal infections such as ringworm, jock itch, and athlete's foot. The antifungal properties of the ingredients might help inhibit the growth of fungi, relieving symptoms like itching and redness.
   
• Manages Bacterial Infections: The powder contains benzoic acid, which might help manage bacterial growth and protect the skin from potential infections. This antiseptic action may help in keeping the skin healthy, especially in areas prone to bacterial buildup.
   
• Skin Irritation Relief: The powder's cooling effect of menthol may help soothe itching and irritation caused by infections or excessive sweating. It might also help provide a temporary sense of relief from discomfort in affected areas.
   
• Moisture Absorption: The powder may help absorb excess moisture, which could manage fungal growth in moist areas of the skin. This might be particularly useful for areas like the feet, where moisture can accumulate.
   
• Inflammation Reduction: This powder contains salicylic acid, which may help reduce skin inflammation by exfoliating dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover. This action might help soothe irritated or inflamed skin, contributing to faster recovery from infections.

• Dust a thin layer of the powder over the affected area.
