Cortrima Cream 15 gm

Cortrima Cream is used in the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions. The detailed uses of Cortrima Cream are as follows:

• Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): Cortrima Cream reduces the severe itching, redness, and dry patches associated with eczema flare-ups.
• Psoriasis: It helps clear up scaly, raised plaques on the skin by reducing rapid skin cell buildup and inflammation.
• Contact Dermatitis: It calms skin irritation and allergic rashes caused by contact with irritating substances like soaps, chemicals, or plants.
• Allergic Skin Rashes: It quickly relieves localised swelling, redness, and intense itching caused by allergic reactions.

Cortrima Cream helps relieve the symptoms of inflammatory skin conditions by reducing inflammation, itching, and redness.
Benefits may include:

• Helps reduce intense itching, lowering the urge to scratch and decreasing the risk of further skin damage or secondary bacterial infection caused by excessive scratching.
• Helps calm inflammation, which can reduce redness, swelling, and irritation in the affected area.
• By controlling inflammation and relieving irritation, it allows the skin to heal more effectively and improves overall comfort during recovery.
• As symptoms improve, it can make everyday activities and sleep more comfortable by reducing persistent itching and skin irritation.

• Your doctor will determine the dosage and frequency depending on your condition.
• Apply a thin layer of the medication to the affected area and gently massage it into the skin until absorbed.
• Do not apply near the eyes or mucous membranes, and do not cover the treated area with tight bandages unless instructed by your doctor.

• Moisturise regularly: Apply a thick, fragrance-free moisturiser or emollient within three minutes of bathing to lock in moisture and protect your skin barrier.
• Take lukewarm baths: Avoid hot showers, which can strip natural oils from your skin and worsen inflammation. Limit your bath time to 10 minutes.
• Use gentle cleansers: Avoid harsh soaps, body washes, and laundry detergents containing artificial fragrances or dyes, as these are common triggers for skin irritation.
• Wear loose, cotton clothing: Tight, synthetic fabrics can trap sweat and friction, worsening itching. Choose soft, breathable fabrics instead.
• Manage stress: High stress levels can trigger skin flare-ups. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, yoga, or meditation to help manage your symptoms.

• Avoid sensitive areas: Do not apply Cortrima Cream to your face, groin, or underarms unless specifically instructed by your doctor, as the skin in these areas is thin and highly sensitive.
• Do not cover the treated area: Never cover the treated area with airtight dressings, plastic wraps, or tight bandages unless your doctor tells you to, as this significantly increases systemic absorption.
• Avoid eye contact: Avoid getting this medicine in or near your eyes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with cool water.
• Do not apply to broken skin: Do not use this product on open wounds, deep cuts, or severely broken skin.
• Monitor your skin: Monitor your skin for signs of thinning, such as a shiny appearance, visible tiny blood vessels, or easy bruising, and report these to your doctor.
• Take extra care in children: If you are treating a child in the diaper area, do not use tight-fitting diapers or plastic pants, as these can act as an airtight covering.
