Nericide ointment is used to treat chronic and acute skin inflammation through its topical anti-inflammatory effect, which helps reduce redness, itching, and swelling resulting from an overactive immune response in the skin. It contains an active ingredient known as diflucortolone valerate, which is a cortisone derivative that works to soothe the skin and reduce irritation. It is prescribed in the form of a cream or ointment depending on the nature of the condition and is used twice daily on the affected area, provided that it is clean and dry. It is important not to use Nericide ointment for long periods or on large areas of the skin to avoid its absorption into the body. It is also recommended to consult a doctor before starting to use it, especially in the case of a skin infection or the use of other topical preparations to ensure safe use and achieve the best possible result.
