What is Ichthammol used for?
Ichtoxyl is applied topically to manage inflammatory and infectious skin conditions.
- Eczema: reduces inflammation and itching, helping lesions resolve. - Psoriasis: softens plaques and alleviates scaling. - Acne vulgaris: limits bacterial growth and diminishes pustular inflammation. - Boils and furuncles: promotes drainage and reduces surrounding redness. - Insect bites: eases swelling, itching and prevents secondary infection. - Minor skin wounds: creates a protective barrier and supports tissue repair.
What are the side effects of Ichthammol?
Topical application of Ichtoxyl may cause local skin reactions.
Common Side Effects: - Mild burning or stinging at the application site. - Transient redness or erythema. - Dryness or peeling of the treated skin. - Itching or mild irritation. - Contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals.
Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction with swelling, hives or difficulty breathing. - Extensive skin necrosis or ulceration. - Systemic toxicity if large areas are applied excessively. - Anaphylaxis requiring immediate medical attention. - Persistent infection despite treatment.
What precautions apply to Ichthammol?
Use Ichtoxyl with awareness of specific safety considerations.

What does Ichthammol interact with?
Ichtoxyl may interact with other topical agents or dressings.
