Salix-12 Cream is used in the treatment of skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis and acne that are characterized by dry, scaly and itchy skin. Salix-12 Cream has keratolytic (removes dead tissue) and emollient (softens skin) effects. These effects help to moisturize the skin, remove scales and decrease itching and flaking. It is also used in the treatment of other skin conditions such as keratosis (rough, scaly patch on the skin), calluses (thickened layers of skin present often on the hands or feet) and warts (small, fleshy bumps on the skin).

Salix-12 Cream belongs to the class of medications called ‘Keratolytic agents’ used to treat skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne. Eczema is a condition in which skin becomes red, itchy, and inflamed due to external agents such as soaps, dyes, or other irritants. Psoriasis is an autoimmune (immune system attacks healthy cells) skin disorder in which the skin becomes scaly, swelled up and itchy. Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.

Salix-12 Cream contains Salicylic acid and Urea. These two medicines are keratolytic agents, increase moisture in the skin, and dissolve the keratin (protein present on the skin's outer layer). This effect makes the dead skin cells fall off and accelerate the healing process. It also has an emollient effect and helps to soften the skin.

Use Salix-12 Cream exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side effects of Salix-12 Cream are a burning sensation, itching, and irritation in the treated area.
