Chickenpox, which is called the most common childhood infection, brings severe discomfort to babies, as the rash in this disease itches and itches. If, however, to allow it to be combed, marks may remain on the skin, which can be very difficult to remove (and sometimes even impossible). To alleviate the condition of the child with chickenpox and accelerate the healing of the rash, various external agents are used. One of them is poxcline gel.
Composition and release form
The basis of Poksklin, produced in the form of a hydrogel, is an antibacterial active complex, indicated by the manufacturer as 2QR. It is a polysaccharide derived from aloe vera. Other components are water, allantoin, betaine and panthenol. The presence in the composition of extracts of lavender and chamomile gives the gel a pleasant aroma.
The tool is released in a bottle with a capacity of 100 ml, which has a dispenser with a cap. Inside there is a transparent yellowish gel, but when you press the pump-dispenser, it becomes a light foam. One pack is enough for two to three weeks of treating a rash that appears with a typical course of chicken pox.
Operating principle
PoxClin acts locally and is practically not absorbed into the blood, so it does not have a negative effect on the internal organs. The drug has a cooling effect, which reduces itching. After treatment with PoxClin, the skin dries out a little, and its healing is accelerated. By softening the treated bubbles, cracking of the wounds is prevented.
In addition, the drug enhances the natural skin immunity of the child, as a result of which the rash is not affected by harmful bacteria. This effect is due to the creation of a kind of barrier on the surface of the PoxClin-treated skin that prevents microbes from penetrating inside the vesicles. By promoting faster healing and elimination of itching, the gel prevents the appearance of scars and scars.
