Allergic Contact Dermatitis: This is a type of skin inflammation caused by an allergic reaction to certain substances. It may cause redness, swelling, itching, and sometimes blisters.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which are resolved by discontinuing the use of S Clear Cream 10gm. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here's how you can manage some common side effects:

Redness of the skin: Try applying S Clear Cream 10gm after a cool shower or bath, which can soothe your skin before application.
Itching: Apply S Clear Cream 10gm at night, as this could help reduce daytime itching.

S Clear Cream 10gm contains Ozenoxacin (1%), which works in the following ways:

Inhibits Key Bacterial Enzymes: Ozenoxacin blocks the action of two bacterial enzymes known as DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. These enzymes are crucial for the bacteria's survival as they help in DNA replication, repair, transcription, and recombination.
Kills Bacteria: By blocking these vital enzymes, Ozenoxacin effectively kills off the bacteria responsible for causing impetigo. The elimination of these bacteria leads to the reduction of symptoms associated with impetigo and prevents the further spread of infection.
