MUM-CL Lotion 100 ml

MUM-CL Lotion is a topical medication that provides a soothing and protective effect on the skin. It is primarily a calamine lotion, which has been used for centuries to manage various minor skin ailments. The lotion's action is due to its astringent, anti-pruritic (anti-itch), and mild antiseptic properties, which help calm inflamed skin and promote the healing process. 

Benefits of MUM-CL Lotion

The main benefits of MUM-CL Lotion include:

Ø  Relieving itching and discomfort caused by conditions such as insect bites/stings, chickenpox, and rashes from poisonous plants like poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac.

Ø  Drying out oozing or weeping skin irritations due to its astringent action.

Ø  Soothing sunburned skin, reducing redness and peeling.

Ø  Forming a protective barrier over the affected area to shield it from further irritants.

Ø  Providing a cooling sensation upon application, which helps distract from the itching. 

Ingredients of MUM-CL Lotion

The active ingredients typically found in calamine lotion are:
