Keralin Ointment is a topical medicine,which means it is applied externally on the skin. It is not taken orally or internally.

Keralin Ointment contains three active ingredients: hydrocortisone, benzoic acid, and salicylic acid.

• Hydrocortisone belongs to a group of medicines called corticosteroids. It works by reducing inflammation in the skin.
• Benzoic acid acts as an antimicrobial agent, helping to prevent or treat infections caused by bacteria or fungi.
• Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent that helps remove dead skin cells and promote healthy skin regeneration.

Together, these ingredients work synergistically to manage hyperkeratotic skin lesions by reducing inflammation, preventing infections, and promoting the healing process.

Hydrocortisone reduces redness, swelling, and itching, while benzoic acid fights against harmful microorganisms. Salicylic acid exfoliates the skin, removing dead cells and allowing for the growth of new, healthy skin.
