Kelosoft Scar Cream Tb 25 g

What is Kelosoft and when is it used?

Kelosoft is a scar treatment cream that contains green oil (from henbane) as an active ingredient. This has a softening and smoothing effect on bulging scars. After several months of treatment with Kelosoft, the scars slowly recede. Visible success usually only occurs after 6-12 months. Kelosoft can also be used after a certain time to prevent scarring after skin injuries (burns and cuts) and operations.

When should Kelosoft not be used?

Kelosoft must not be used if there is a known hypersensitivity to one of the ointment additives or another component of the preparation. Kelosoft should only be used in children under the age of 12 on the advice of a doctor. Kelosoft must not be applied to open or unhealed wounds or mucous membranes. In the case of skin injuries or after operations, Kelosoft may be used after 14 days at the earliest, i.e. only when the wound has healed safely.

Inform your doctor, pharmacist or druggist if you suffer from skin diseases, have allergies or use other medicines (including those you have bought yourself)!
