Product introduction

Xirosur Cream is a kind of moisturizer which is used to treat dry skin. It works by preventing water loss from the outer layer of the skin. This relieves dryness and leaves the skin soft and hydrated.

Xirosur Cream is for external use only. You should always use it exactly as your doctor has told you. 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. Avoid applying on open wounds or infected skin. You should not get it in the eyes, mouth, or nose. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas.

Some common side effects of this medicine include burning sensation, skin rash, irritation, stinging, redness, and tingling. These are usually mild and resolve on their own. However, if these do not get better, please consult the doctor to know about ways to treat or prevent them in the future.

It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way it works but talk to your doctor before using it if you have used a similar medicine before and had an allergic reaction.

How Xirosur Cream works

Xirosur Cream is a combination of four medications. Urea provides hydration to smoothen skin's texture, and helps to reduce the buildup of dead skin cells. Lactic acid removes old, dull cells on the skin's surface. Propylene glycol has humectant properties. It also works as a barrier to keep moisture in your skin. It helps other ingredients make their way into your skin. Liquid paraffin prevents moisture loss from the outer layer of skin.

FAQs

What are the things one should do to manage dry skin?

Some simple tips to manage dry skin are drinking plenty of water to keep your body hydrated, avoiding hot water baths, using sunscreen (minimum SPF 15) or wearing protective clothing whenever stepping outside, avoiding harsh scented soaps, and moisturizing the skin immediately after bath. Also, consult your doctor, who can help diagnose if you have any underlying medical conditions causing dry skin.

What are the main symptoms of dry skin?

Itching is one of the common symptoms of dry skin which gets worse as your skin gets drier. This leads to the ‘itch-scratch’ cycle where you constantly scratch to get rid of the itch and it just causes more itching. Scaling, cracking, and peeling of the skin are the other common symptoms. The cracking may be severe in some cases leading to bleeding.

Does drinking alcohol cause dry skin?

Yes, drinking too much alcohol can cause dehydration. When you are dehydrated on the inside, less water is available to moisturize your skin, leading to skin that appears rough and flaky and is more prone to sensitivity and itching.

Can stress cause dry skin?

Yes, stress can be a major factor in defining your skin condition. It can make your skin worse and look older than your age.
