Ichthyol Pale

Ichthyol Pale is a topical medication derived from coal tar, specifically used for the treatment of various skin conditions. Coal tar, which is obtained from the destructive distillation of coal, has been utilized in dermatology for centuries due to its anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and antiproliferative properties.
Ichthyol Pale is particularly effective in managing conditions characterized by excessive scaling, such as ichthyosis, psoriasis, and eczema. By inhibiting the growth of skin cells and reducing inflammation, it helps alleviate the symptoms associated with these conditions, including itching, redness, and flaking.
When applied topically, Ichthyol Pale penetrates the skin, acting on the cellular level to regulate cell turnover and prevent the accumulation of dead skin cells. This, in turn, promotes a smoother and clearer complexion.
In addition to its therapeutic benefits, Ichthyol Pale is known for its relatively mild side effects. Some patients may experience local irritation, such as skin dryness or redness, which usually subside with continued use. However, follow the recommended dosage and application instructions to minimize the risk of adverse reactions.
