Xscar Gel 15Gm belongs to the class of medication called ‘keratolytic agent' primarily used for peeling and shedding the outer layer of the skin in the condition of acne (pimple) and psoriasis. Xscar Gel 15Gm possesses comedolytic (inhibits the formation of blemishes) and anti-inflammatory activity. Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. 

Xscar Gel 15Gm contains ‘Salicylic acid’ that treats conditions of psoriasis and acne by reducing inflammation (swelling and redness) and unplugging blocked skin pores to allow pimples to shrink. Xscar Gel 15Gm increases the turnover rate of upper skin cells, which eventually helps in peeling and shedding off the dead skin, thereby treating comedones (skin-coloured, small bumps due to acne). 

Xscar Gel 15Gm is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Common side effects of Xscar Gel 15Gm include dry skin, erythema (skin redness), burning sensation, skin irritation and skin rash.
