About Zitcare Foam Wash
Zitcare Foam Wash belongs to the class of medication called ‘keratolytic agent', primarily used for peeling and shedding the outer layer of the skin in conditions of acne (pimple) and psoriasis. Zitcare Foam Wash 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.
Zitcare Foam Wash 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. Zitcare Foam Wash 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).
Zitcare Foam Wash is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Common side effects of Zitcare Foam Wash include dry skin, erythema (skin redness), burning sensation, skin irritation and skin rash.
