Intended use

Daily, local, external protection for the entire genital area (external female and male genitals, perineum and anal area).

To relieve skin complaints in the outer genital area, such as:

• Skin irritation, e.g. with burning sensation, itching
• Redness and swelling
• Damaged skin
• Dryness (e.g. after radiation treatment and in the menopause)
• Soreness in the anal area, primarily due to diarrhoea, rhagades and haemorrhoids

Mode of action

Deumavan Protective Ointment improves the elasticity of the skin (horny layer) by creating a thin layer of fat (a mix of highly pure paraffins). The effect is based on improving the elasticity of the upper layer of skin, the horny layer, and reducing the transepidermal loss of water. This supplements natural sebum production. The protective film created by the ointment does not compromise the barrier function of the skin.

The mode of action is explained step by step, with the skin figure, on How it works. The full text of the leaflet is on Instructions for use.
