Introduction About MYCODERM POWDER
Mycoderm Lavender Antiseptic Powder is an antiseptic, antifungal and keratolytic powder used in skin irritation and inflammation (like prickly heat), insect bites, fungal infections and eczema. It contains benzoic acid, salicylic acid and menthol as active ingredients that control fungal infection and itching.
Benzoic acid kills the bacteria and fungi that cause skin infections. Salicylic acid acts as a keratolytic agent which helps the body to shed rough and dead skin.
Benzoic acid and salicylic acid together manage skin irritation and inflammation. Menthol provides a cooling and soothing effect to the skin.
