Skin-Cap - side effects

When using the drug, the active substance accumulates in the epidermis and in the shallow layers of the dermis, practically not penetrating into the systemic circulation (detected in the blood only in trace amounts). In view of this, zinc pyrithione does not have a general effect on the body, is well tolerated, exhibiting a local therapeutic effect on skin tissue.

Skin-Cap-cream exhibits side effects in rare cases, which is often associated with improper use of the drug and individual hypersensitivity reactions to one or more components of the product. This is expressed by various local allergic symptoms: redness, rash, itching, swelling and others. In addition, in the first days of therapy, a short-term mild burning sensation may occur in the areas where the drug is applied, which does not require discontinuation of treatment (in this case, the single amount of cream applied can be reduced).
