About SALEN TOPICAL SOLUTION
SALEN TOPICAL SOLUTION belongs to the class of drugs called psoralens (light-sensitive drugs) used along with controlled ultraviolet light in a treatment called psoralen plus ultraviolet light A (PUVA) to treat skin conditions such as vitiligo and psoriasis. Psoriasis is a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply and form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales. Vitiligo is a skin condition that causes loss of skin colour in blotches when melanocytes (cells that produce the colour) do not produce skin pigment, melanin (that gives the skin colour).
SALEN TOPICAL SOLUTION contains methoxsalen, which is used alongside ultraviolet-A radiation. It works by reducing the number of cells the skin makes.
SALEN TOPICAL SOLUTION is for external use only. Some people may experience itching or skin irritation. Most of these side effects of SALEN TOPICAL SOLUTION do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Methoxsalen or any other medicines, please inform your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to inform your doctor before using SALEN TOPICAL SOLUTION. After UVA exposure, you are recommended to wash the treated area of the skin with soap and water. Then use sunscreen or wear protective clothing to protect the treated area. If you have squamous cell cancer (a form of skin cancer) or melanoma (a serious type of skin cancer), please inform your doctor beforehand.

Habit Forming
Diet & Lifestyle Advise
Vitiligo:
- Minimize sun exposure. Use sunscreen with high SPF and protective sunglasses while going out in the sun.
- Prefer using self-tanning lotions as they may help to even out skin tone and the effect lasts longer, even with washing.
Psoriasis:
- Increase your intake of lean proteins containing omega-3 fatty acids, such as sardines, salmon, shrimp, flax seeds, walnuts and soybeans.
- Avoid foods such as refined sugar, red meat, dairy products and highly processed foods, as these might trigger inflammation.
- Avoid alcohol consumption as it may increase the risk of flare-ups.
- Stress can also trigger psoriasis. Therefore, learn to manage and cope with stress by doing yoga, breathing, meditation, and journaling.
