Diprobase

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Diprobase is a brand of emollient used in the treatment of eczema and other dry skin conditions. It is manufactured by Bayer, a multinational pharmaceutical company. Diprobase products, which include creams, lotions, and ointments, work by forming a protective barrier on the skin surface to reduce moisture loss and provide hydration.

Composition[edit | edit source]

Diprobase products contain the active ingredients white soft paraffin, liquid paraffin, and water. These ingredients work together to moisturize the skin and provide a protective barrier.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Diprobase is primarily used to treat eczema, but it can also be used for other dry skin conditions such as psoriasis and ichthyosis. It can be used by people of all ages, including babies.

Application[edit | edit source]

Diprobase should be applied to the affected area of skin as often as needed. For best results, it should be applied immediately after bathing.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

While Diprobase is generally well-tolerated, some people may experience side effects such as skin irritation or allergic reactions. If these occur, use of the product should be discontinued.

Precautions[edit | edit source]

Before using Diprobase, individuals should consult with a healthcare professional if they have a history of skin reactions or allergies. The product should not be used on broken or infected skin.
