Cortiderm N Cream

Your doctor may prescribe Cortiderm N Cream for several inflammatory and infected skin issues, including:

• Infected eczema: Cortiderm N Cream helps calm intense itching, swelling, and redness while clearing the bacterial infection that often occurs from scratching.
• Infected dermatitis: It relieves severe allergic skin reactions and contact dermatitis that have become complicated by bacterial growth.
• Psoriasis with secondary infection: In selected cases, a doctor may prescribe Cortiderm N Cream for short-term management of bacterial infection occurring alongside inflamed psoriasis lesions. It should only be used under medical supervision, as topical steroids and antibiotics are not appropriate for all types of psoriasis.
• Infected insect bites: It minimises the body's local inflammatory response and treats bacteria introduced through the bite.

Cortiderm N Cream offers targeted, real-world relief to help your skin heal faster and more comfortably:

• Dual-Action Relief: By combining an anti-inflammatory agent with a bacterial killer, this medicine addresses the swelling and the underlying infection at the same time, preventing the need for multiple separate treatments.
• Rapid Comfort: The soothing properties of the medication work quickly to stop intense itching and burning. This brings immediate relief and prevents the urge to scratch, which can further damage the skin.
• Supports Natural Healing: By eliminating harmful bacteria and reducing inflammation, Cortiderm N Cream creates the ideal environment for your skin barrier to repair itself naturally, leading to a faster recovery.

• Cortiderm N Cream is for external use only.
• It is recommended to apply Cortiderm N Cream 2-3 times daily or as directed by your doctor.
• Apply a thin layer of Cortiderm N Cream with clean and dry hands on the affected areas of the skin. You can also apply it with a piece of clean cotton wool or gauze swab. Gently rub the medicine into the skin until it has disappeared.
• Wash your hands before and after applying Cortiderm N Cream on the affected areas unless the treatment is for hands.
• If Cortiderm N Cream accidentally comes in contact with your eyes, mouth, or nose, rinse with water thoroughly.

Supporting your skin's health from the inside out can help Cortiderm N Cream work more effectively and speed up your recovery:

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated and help maintain its natural moisture barrier.
• Keep nails short: Keep your fingernails trimmed short and clean to prevent scratching and reduce the risk of introducing new bacteria to the healing skin.
• Choose loose clothing: Wear loose, breathable cotton clothing over the treated areas to minimise friction, heat, and sweat buildup, which can irritate sensitive skin.
• Avoid harsh chemicals: Switch to mild, fragrance-free soaps, cleansers, and moisturisers to prevent stripping your skin of its natural protective oils.
• Manage stress: High stress levels can trigger flare-ups of inflammatory skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, so practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or yoga.

• Sensitive Areas: Do not apply Cortiderm N Cream to your face, groin, or underarms unless your doctor explicitly tells you to, as these areas have very thin skin that absorbs the medicine too quickly.
• Avoid Eye Contact: Avoid getting the cream in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with large amounts of cool water.
• Duration of Use: Do not use this medicine for longer than prescribed by your doctor. Short treatment courses are generally preferred, particularly on sensitive skin areas and in children, as prolonged use can increase the risk of skin thinning and antibiotic resistance.
• Do Not Share Medication: Never share Cortiderm N Cream with anyone else, even if they have skin symptoms that look exactly like yours.
• Check Before Use: Inspect the cream before use; do not use it if the tube is damaged, leaking, or if the cream has changed colour or consistency.
• Avoid Certain Wounds: Do not apply this medicine to large open wounds, deep cuts, or severely burned skin without medical clearance.
• Stopping Treatment: If you are using this medicine for psoriasis, do not stop treatment abruptly unless advised by your doctor, as topical steroids may occasionally trigger rebound worsening of psoriasis symptoms after discontinuation.
