Russian analogue of "Skin-cap" (cream)

Any skin diseases - this is a systemic problem, and therefore they give in to treatment is quite difficult. The pharmaceutical industry is constantly releasing more and more new tools to combat illnesses, but the victory is still only dreaming. One of the most popular drugs is Skin-Cap. This is a whole series, which includes unique anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal medicines, designed for external use. All of them are issued with one purpose, namely for the treatment of the skin.

Action cream

Our goal today is to find the optimal analogue of "Skin-cap". This cream, of course, is effective, but its price is not the most affordable. However, before proceeding to the search for analogs, it is good to know what effect can be obtained using the original drug. The active substance is zinc pyrithione. Due to its activation at the molecular level, the antibacterial effect increases, that is, the drug eliminates streptococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, staphylococcus aureus. In parallel with this, the anti-inflammatory, as well as the antifungal action is activated, the remedy easily eliminates the lichen.

That is, the drug ensures the preservation of cells in our body, as well as the death of bacteria and pathogenic fungi. Very quickly removed all the symptoms: itching, redness. The drug is used for neurodermatitis and eczema, psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. The cost of one bottle of cream - 1200 rubles, but the manufacturer promises that it is enough for a month of treatment. Except for the severe form of psoriasis (in this case it takes a month and a half) during this period the disease can be defeated. Now it is clear what we want, when we are looking for an analog of Skin-cap: a cream that would be more affordable and of equal effectiveness.

Non-hormonal analogues

They are much safer than hormones, although they can not help in the most severe cases, but it is with them that you should begin your course of treatment. Not everyone can afford such a drug as "Skin-cap" (cream). Analogues are cheaper in price, and their choice is wide enough to satisfy each person's needs. Ointment "Kartalin" is recognized as one of the best and safest medicines for solving a problem such as psoriasis. The composition includes bee honey and extracts of alternate, chamomile, assistants are salicylic acid, lavender and eucalyptus oil. The cost of this money is 740 rubles, it attracts its natural composition and good reviews, which testify to high efficiency.

About the rest of the drugs of this group, we will not talk in detail, you probably already know about them if you bought Skin-cap (cream). The instruction of the analogs leads as a familiarization: this is "Daivonex", "Acrostal", "Antipsor", salicylic and zinc ointment.

Hormonal preparations

A very serious group of medicines that should not be purchased and used without a doctor's prescription - it, by the way, is required when appointing Skin-cap (cream, instruction, photo of which is widely represented in specialized printed publications). We will limit ourselves to distinguishing them according to the intensity of the impact. The weakest are hydrocortisone and prednisolone ointment. They can be used for the weakest symptoms of dermatitis and seborrhea. Medications of medium activity are known "Lorinden", "Laticort", "Lokoid", "Fluorocort", "Triacort". All of them have anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, anti-allergic action, that is they can help not worse "Skin kapa" (cream). The composition of analogues of this group have the same, this is flumethasone, however the dosage may differ, so do not forget to consult a doctor.

There is another group of similar drugs that is characterized by intense exposure. They are joined by the active substance mometasone. This is "Elokom", "Avecourt", "Flucinar" and some others. The strongest is the drug "Dermoveit", in its composition - clobetasol.

Ointment "Psirikap"

The manufacturer of this drug is the company "Kievmedpreparat". This is a great analogue of Skin Cap. The cream is produced in tubes of 30 grams, and the cost of one for today - around 300 rubles. The difference, in comparison with the original, is very significant. The drug is used for external use and has an antifungal and antibacterial effect. It is indicated for diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, seborrheic eczema. The course of treatment is usually 3-4 weeks.

Ointment "Kamagel"

This time we'll talk about the Polish analogue of Skin-Kap. The cream "Kamagel" is a combined preparation that has a pronounced dermatoprotective action. It is prescribed for various dermatitis, including sunburn, insect bites. The active substance is aluminum acetotartrate, which has a local anti-inflammatory effect, helps to form a film on the affected area, which will protect the skin from external influences. In addition, the composition has an extract of chamomile, which provides anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial, wound-healing and analgesic effect. The cost of the drug is 220 rubles.

Cream "Psoriderm"

Another great tool, the analogue of Skin-Kap. The cream "Psoriderm" is produced by the Belarusian company in Minsk and received a large number of positive reviews. The main active ingredient is clobetasol propionate. It, like zinc in the original preparation, has antipruritic and anti-inflammatory, as well as vasoconstrictive action. When applied to the surface of the skin, the active components quickly penetrate the inflammation, removing redness, swelling, swelling and eliminating itching. Assign this drug for psoriasis, eczema and red diarrhea, lupus erythematosus. If the history of the treatment of skin disease has already been the experience of using less active corticosteroids, and they did not have a visible effect, then you can transfer to this or (at the doctor's option) any other Russian analogue of the cream "Skin-cap". The cost of this medicine is about 190 rubles, however, unlike the original drug, the reviews about it are not at all so rosy. Apparently, you need to consider that autoimmune diseases are individual, and each case requires a painstaking selection of medicines.

Cream Cream

While we were considering drugs that differ in the active substances, but are similar in their effect to the drug Skin-cap (cream). Analogues, however, are completely identical in composition, and one of these can be considered "Cynocap". In its composition - all the same zirconium pyrithione, which has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal activity. It extends to a number of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The drug is available in tubes of 30 g worth 335 rubles. It is well absorbed through the skin and well tolerated, its use is possible in children from the year and adults. It often happens that doctors prescribe "Skin-Cream" cream. Analogues they do not always take into account. In this case, you can ask yourself whether there are similar products that you can buy a little cheaper.

Let's sum up the results

As you can see, analogous drugs for the treatment of autoimmune skin diseases - a huge amount. Trying to understand them yourself is very difficult, so you should definitely choose a competent doctor who will supervise your treatment. However, hormonal ointments are considered a remedy though effective, but too dangerous for your health, therefore they are used only in the most extreme case. Do not forget to ask the doctor about inexpensive analogues, they are, and you can save on it.
