About Sebco ointment

Sebco ointment is used to treat skin diseases which cause dry scaly skin on the scalp such as psoriasis, eczema, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and dandruff. The ointment contains coal tar, salicylic acid, and sulfur mixed in coconut oil. The mixture also has antiseptic properties.

Eczema is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory skin condition which has symptoms of an itchy red rash, which is often found in skin creases such as the folds of the elbows or behind the knees. Eczema can also have a link to other conditions such as hayfever or asthma and is quite common in children and often involves the scalp and face. Dry skin conditions can be caused by many different factors, including certain temperatures, food sensitivities or stress. Individuals who tend to suffer from dry skin do so due to water loss from the skin and reduced resistance to irritant substances.

Effectiveness

Sebco Ointment is a widely used and effective dry skin medicine however every patient can respond differently to medication. If you find Sebco Ointment is not effective for you, you may want to try Capasal Therapeutic Shampoo
