What is Dermisol Cream?

Dermisol Cream is a topical treatment used on wounds and otitis externa. Wounds can be caused by a number of things and this medicine can be used on horses, cattle, dogs and cats. After an injury or surgery, dead or necrotic tissue can slow the healing process, as can wax and other debris.

Dermisol Cream promotes the healing of wounds by removing these substances that may impair it, to allow the wound to heal effectively.

The medicine can also be used on otitis externa which is an inflammation of the ear canal. Otitis externa has many causes such as  prolonged exposure to water, underlying skin disease, or ear shape. When using Dermisol cream to treat otitis externa, you should use an ear cleaner first.

How does Dermisol Cream work?

The active ingredients in Dermisol Cream are propylene glycol and salicylic acid. Propylene glycol works by absorbing water, while salicylic acid is effective at dissolving dead skin cells. The two active ingredients together work to effectively clear any substances that are slowing the healing process down, to encourage wounds to heal faster.

When treating otitis externa, Dermisol Cream helps to absorb water and minimise the inflammation.
