Balneum Plus is a skin cream used to treat skin conditions, such as dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, and dry and scaly skin. It enables the skin to retain moisture and keeps it soft and soothing, which is why it is extremely useful for treating dryness and skin conditions associated with dryness.

The outer layer of the skin cells, called the stratum corneum, consists of urea and other natural substances that retain water. Moreover, sebum, a surface film of natural skin oil and cells, slows down the evaporation of water from the surface layer, keeping the skin hydrated. However, when there’s a lack of urea and the natural oils get washed off with harsh soaps and hot water, it can cause skin irritability, dryness, itchiness, and scaling.

This condition is reversed with the help of urea, a Balneum Plus cream ingredient that helps stratum corneum hold moisture and provides layers of protective oils for the skin. As a result, the skin becomes hydrated, soft, and smooth. Moreover, lauromacrogols, another Balneum Plus cream ingredient, relieves itchy skin with its anaesthetic properties.

People with conditions such as eczema and psoriasis have a lack of urea, a natural agent that helps in preventing dead skin cell buildup. And with urea as an active ingredient in Balneum Plus, this naturally occurring agent is replaced and the skin is moisturised. Eczema and psoriasis are also associated with itching, which is relieved by lauromacrogols.

A single Balneum Plus solution has multiple benefits.

• It provides layers of natural skin oil, which helps the skin retain moisture.
• It relieves skin itching and dryness.
• It is immediately effective for eczema and psoriasis symptoms.

Balneum Plus cream must be applied to dry skin or affected area twice a day as per what your doctor suggests. Your doctor will also suggest the duration of the entire treatment depending on how your skin responds to it.

Balneum Plus cream is only for external use. It should be applied to the area that’s dry or itching. However, it shouldn’t be used in case of widespread reddening and oozing of the irritated area since it can aggravate the skin.

Here are a few things to know to ensure the correct usage of the Balneum Plus cream:

• It is effective for up to 24 hours. However, regular usage can help in the treatment of eczema and psoriasis.
• Breastfeeding mothers should not apply it to the breast area before feeding since the medicine gets absorbed in the skin and can be harmful to the baby.
• Balneum Plus is not ideal for severe skin rash and widespread reddening. If it is applied accidentally to an oozing area, it should be rinsed off with water immediately.
• It is dangerous to smoke and go near open flames after using Balneum cream since it may cause severe burns.

People allergic to peanuts, soya, urea, lauromacrogols, or any other Balneum Plus cream ingredient should not use the cream. Pregnant women, people with ongoing medication, and children must consult a doctor and use the cream only when suggested.

Balneum Plus can cause penetration of topically applied medicines, such as corticosteroids, dithranol fluorouracil, and others. Therefore, there must be an adequate time gap between the application of Balneum Plus and other products such as ointments, lotion, and medicated creams.

Not everyone may experience Balneum Plus cream side effects, such as:

• Burning sensation
• Itching
• Pus-filled spots
• Flushing of the skin

If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using the cream and inform your doctor.

The Balneum Plus cream can be stored at a temperature of no more than 25°C. Also, it should be kept out of children’s reach.
