Branded Skin Infection & Inflammation Cream

Branded Skin Infection & Inflammation Cream is formulated to treat skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis where the skin has become broken and infected.

Broken skin is vulnerable to infection, which can make skin conditions much worse — infected skin can appear golden and crusty, or ooze with pus. Branded Skin Infection & Inflammation Cream works by stopping the infection first then reducing the swelling and irritation. It contains a combination of an antibiotic and a steroid to achieve both of these things in just one application. Once the infections have been treated and the inflammation has been lowered, the affected skin can begin to heal.

You can buy Branded Skin Infection & Inflammation Cream here from The Independent Pharmacy. All you have to do is complete our free online consultation with our UK-based medical team and they’ll be able to advise if this is the right treatment for you. If it’s the best option, our in-house pharmacy will prepare it for same-day dispatch to any UK address.

Branded Skin Infection & Inflammation Cream Information

Branded Skin Infection & Inflammation Cream is a double-action treatment

Treating infected eczema (or any infected skin condition) is complicated. You’re not just trying to clear up one issue, you’re trying to eliminate two at the same time. Rather than juggling multiple treatments, you need an option that hits all the requirements in one solution.

Branded Skin Infection & Inflammation Cream was created to do just that, containing two active ingredients, each with a different function. The first is an antibiotic that prevents infections from growing. The second is an anti-inflammatory that effectively brings down swelling.

By attacking the problem on two fronts, Branded Skin Infection & Inflammation Cream works quickly to clear up the infected skin and eliminate your discomfort so you can get back to full health as soon as possible.

How Branded Skin Infection & Inflammation Cream works

Branded Skin Infection & Inflammation Cream was created to do just that, containing two active ingredients, each with a different function. The first is an antibiotic that damages bacteria and prevents them from multiplying. It doesn’t actively kill them, but when they can’t spread, they die off or get killed by the immune system, so any infections present clear up over time.

The second is a corticosteroid, which means it works to stop the skin from becoming inflamed through reducing the dilation of blood vessels. In short, it reduces the chemical release that leads to swelling, allowing the affected skin to heal.

By attacking the problem on two fronts, Branded Skin Infection & Inflammation Cream works quickly to clear up the infected skin and eliminate your discomfort so you can get back to full health as soon as possible.

Avoiding skin infections

The easiest way to deal with a skin infection is to avoid getting it in the first place, and there are steps you can take to do this when you suffer a flare up of a skin condition:

  • Treat the affected area as soon as you can, keeping it moisturised and using steroid creams when recommended by your doctor.
  • Stay away from known irritants that might make the problem worse.
  • Resist the urge to itch the affected skin; scratching could make it split, leaving it open to infection.

You should also try to avoid any factors that might cause further flare ups, such as:

  • Stress
  • Injury
  • Hormonal changes
  • Binge drinking
  • Smoking
  • Using particular medicines (consult your doctor)

While Branded Skin Infection & Inflammation Cream is a great option for dealing with infected skin, avoidance is always the best option, especially because this cream should only be used for up to two weeks. Extended use yields diminishing returns and makes side effects more likely.

If you suffer from a chronic skin condition such as eczema, dermatitis, or psoriasis, you should regularly moisturise the affected areas (normally around four times daily) to help keep the skin healthy and prevent outbreaks. Moisturisers like Diprobase or Dermol are good options.

When is Branded Skin Infection & Inflammation Cream not a good option?

You should absolutely not use Branded Skin Infection & Inflammation Cream in any of the following scenarios:

  • You are allergic to any of its listed ingredients
  • You’re trying to treat rosacea (a condition causing redness of the face and cheeks)
  • You’re trying to treat spots around your chin or mouth
  • You’re trying to treat skin infections that cover a large area
  • You’re trying to treat acne
  • You’re trying to treat eczema or dermatitis that is not infected

Conditions such as acne and rosacea need special treatments, and this cream will not prove an effective remedy.

Visit our acne treatments and our rosacea treatments to see some better options. If you have an inflamed skin condition (such as eczema or dermatitis) with no signs of infection, a corticosteroid treatment like Eumovate or Betnovate would be a cheaper and more effective option.

Non-prescription treatment options

If you’ve developed infected eczema or dermatitis but you’re unable or unwilling to use a prescription treatment, there are things you can try, including:

  • Moisturisers and emollients: they’ll lessen the pain and help prevent skin cracking
  • Bath and shower gels: disinfectant cleaning products can help fight skin infections
  • Cotton gloves: wearing gloves lessens the damage you can cause by scratching
  • Antihistamine tablets: these will lower the itchiness, helping you leave the skin alone

If no non-prescription treatment options work, let us know. You can upload a photo of the affected skin and we’ll give you a free recommendation. Regardless of the doctor or pharmacy you consult, you should definitely seek a professional medical opinion if you have an infected skin condition.
