Foot Mark Cream

Introduction

Foot Mark is a topical medication containing the active ingredients Urea, Lactic Acid, Propylene Glycol, and Liquid Paraffin. It is used to address various skin conditions.

Uses

Foot Mark is prescribed to help manage and alleviate dry, rough, and scaly skin associated with conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and ichthyosis. It can also be used to soften and moisturize rough skin on the elbows, knees, and feet.

Dosage and Administration

Apply a thin layer of Foot Mark to the affected area(s) of the skin, typically 2-3 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Gently massage the cream into the skin until it is fully absorbed.

Mechanism of Action

The active ingredients in Foot Mark work together to hydrate and soften the skin. Urea and Lactic Acid help to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, while Propylene Glycol and Liquid Paraffin act as moisturizers, creating a protective barrier to prevent water loss from the skin.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include mild stinging or burning at the application site. Serious side effects are rare but may include severe skin irritation or allergic reactions. If any serious side effects occur, discontinue use and seek medical attention immediately.

Drug Interactions

Foot Mark is not known to interact with other medications when used topically. However, inform your healthcare provider about all medications, including over-the-counter products and supplements, before using Foot Mark.

Precautions

Prior to using Foot Mark, individuals should consult with their healthcare provider, especially if they have known allergies to any of the active ingredients. Avoid applying the cream to open wounds or broken skin. Consult a healthcare professional if the condition worsens or does not improve after regular use.

Storage

Store Foot Mark at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination and maintain its effectiveness.
