Natural help for skin inflammation
Inflammation of the skin (dermatitis) can have a variety of causes. In addition to infections caused by bacteria or fungi, allergies are often the trigger of inflammatory skin changes. For example, in the form of contact eczema. Atopic eczema (neurodermatitis) is also an inflammatory skin disease characterized by dry, reddened and scaly skin and severe itching. In the case of inflammatory skin diseases such as eczema, it is important to avoid triggers and to clean the skin gently and take care of the skin. The versatile herbal drug Kamillosan® Cream is used for follow-up treatment following external corticosteroid therapy for inflammatory skin diseases, e.g. contact dermatitis, contact eczema, occupational eczema or eczema in children. Kamillosan cream with the power of manzana chamomile promotes wound healing and is anti-inflammatory.

Chamomile with rich active ingredient content
Kamillosan is the only chamomile extract obtained from Manzana chamomile, which is particularly rich in active ingredients. This variety was bred and patented specifically for Kamillosan. A special manufacturing process guarantees a consistently high content of active ingredients. The Manzana chamomile clearly surpasses the chamomile used in other preparations in terms of its active ingredient content. Kamillosan Creme contains an alcoholic extract of chamomile blossoms from the Manzana chamomile.

APPLICATION:
Unless otherwise prescribed by the doctor, Kamillosan® Cream is used as follows: Apply a thin layer to the skin 3 times a day. As soon as the clinical picture has improved, twice daily application is sufficient. The duration of the application is not limited in time.

ECZEMA
Eczema is inflammation of the skin. Depending on the type of eczema, the inflammatory skin changes appear with swollen and reddened skin, blisters, nodules and scales. The eczema often weeps at first and later crusts over, sometimes it is associated with severe itching. They can be an indication of a contact allergy or occur in the context of neurodermatitis, seborrheic eczema or psoriasis. For some forms of eczema, creams, ointments or lotions with anti-inflammatory corticosteroids can help in the short term. Kamillosan cream has proven itself as a follow-up treatment to external corticosteroid therapy with its wound healing-promoting effect.

NEURODERMATITIS
Neurodermatitis (also called atopic eczema or atopic dermatitis) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that occurs in episodes and is associated with severe itching. As a result, the skin is dry, in an acute attack there is also weeping eczema. Certain skin regions are preferentially affected, such as the neck, the crook of the arm, the back of the knees or the wrists. The most important measure of any neurodermatitis treatment is daily skin care. Ointments are suitable for skin care of the dry skin, for less dry or weeping skin areas, but the cream is better, such as Kamillosan cream.

CONTACT ECZEMA
Contact eczema, also known as contact dermatitis, is the result of hypersensitivity of the skin to a certain substance (allergen). These can be, for example, fragrances, preservatives, cleaning agents or metals such as nickel. Hairdressers or cleaning staff are often affected by contact eczema. Inflammation of the skin appears as a reddened, swollen, weeping and/or itchy patch of skin with blisters or scales. The skin change is typically limited to the site of contact with the allergen. The most important measure is avoiding the allergy-causing substance. Treatment is usually with cortisone-containing ointments or creams.
