Introduction of Cromon H Cream

Cromon H Cream is a combination medicine which is used in the treatment of scabies. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers that makes the skin red, swollen and itchy. It also kills the tiny insects and their eggs.

Cromon H Cream is for external use only. You should always use it exactly as your doctor has told you. The affected area should be clean and dry before application. You must wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not use more than you need as it will not clear your condition faster and some side effects may be increased. If your condition goes on for longer than four weeks or gets worse at any time, let your doctor know. You can help this medicine work better by keeping the affected areas clean.

Common side effects include rash, redness or itching at the site of application. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time.

Uses of Cromon H Cream

Benefits of Cromon H Cream

In Scabies

Scabies is a condition caused by tiny insects called mites that infest and irritate your skin. Cromon H Cream kills the mites and their eggs present on the skin. This gives relief from itching, swelling and redness. Generally, the cream should be applied to the whole body except the face but follow your doctor’s advice. It should be thoroughly washed off after 8-12 hours. Often one application is enough to treat the condition completely but sometimes a second one may be required a week later. This is because the treatment might kill the mites quickly, but the itching can carry on for a few weeks. Avoid close contact with people to prevent the spread of scabies.

How to use Cromon H Cream

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
