Whitfield's Ointment, 20 gm

Whitefield's Ointment 20 g is a dermatological topical formulation designed to support the management of superficial fungal skin infections. The ointment combines benzoic acid and salicylic acid, two ingredients commonly used in fungal skin care to help reduce fungal growth while supporting removal of infected skin layers. The ointment base also helps maintain prolonged contact with the affected skin area during application. Benzoic acid functions as an anti-fungal agent that may help inhibit fungal growth on the skin surface. Salicylic acid acts as a keratolytic ingredient that helps loosen and remove dry, infected, and scaly skin. This exfoliating action may allow better penetration of the anti-fungal ingredient into affected skin areas. Together, the ingredients are intended to support relief from fungal skin discomfort and improve skin recovery over time. Whitefield's Ointment may be suitable for individuals experiencing ringworm, athlete’s foot, dry flaky fungal rash, or itching associated with superficial fungal infections. Consistent use along with proper skin hygiene may help support recovery and reduce recurrence.
