Viñas presents Vaselix 40% ointment, a keratolytic that has been developed to treat hyperkeratosis, especially in cases of excessive desquamation of the skin and/or thick stratum corneum such as calluses, thick plaques of psoriasis, etc. It also helps in cases of mosaic warts, chronic eczema and helomas. Its high salicylic acid content has an exfoliating effect that helps to peel off the horny layer present in these types of conditions, thus reducing excessive flaking of the skin.
Hyperkeratotic skin disorders are characterised by thickening of the outer part of the epidermis, known as the stratum corneum. At this level the cells have a high keratin content, which provides a dry and hard composition. Popularly, these conditions are known as corns or calluses. However, there are various types or forms of hyperkeratosis, such as warts, eczema, ichthyosis, among other conditions.
In this case, salicylic acid minimises the thick, hard layer of the epidermis. It also removes dead skin cells and reduces inflammation.
It comes in a presentation of 30 grams.
It is indicated for all people with hyperkeratotic skin.
It is recommended to apply once or twice a day on small localised hyperkeratotic areas. If there is more extensive involvement, it should be applied two or three times a week. It is advisable to place a thin layer on the affected area and massage gently until completely absorbed, avoiding contact with the healthy skin surrounding the area. The ointment should not be used for a prolonged period of time. It can be used in occlusive dressings. If the dressings are not occlusive, it is recommended to cover the area, because the excipient of the product is greasy. After using the ointment it is recommended to wash hands thoroughly, unless these also require treatment.
The product should not be used in case of allergy to its components. Do not apply to moles, birthmarks or warts with hair. Do not apply to children under 2 years of age. Do not apply to open wounds, genitals or near the eyes. Use with caution in diabetics and patients with peripheral circulation problems.
