Product description

Sept Aid

The skin is the largest organ of the body, serving as a protective barrier between the internal workings of the body and the environment. When that barrier is breached by superficial injuries(abrasions, lacerations, cuts, burns, insect bites) & various skin eruptions, it leaves open an opportunity for bacteria and other potentially harmful microscopic things to enter the bodily system. Infection is another major risk of leaving even superficial wounds untreated.

One of the first matters to address with minor wounds is cleansing the wound. Cleansing is important for incisions that are caused by sharp objects, such as knives or broken glass. However, it is even more important in abrasion injuries, in which the skin’s outer layers have been scraped away by abrasion against a rough object, such as when elbows and arms scrape against pavement during a fall.

The main rationale for using antiseptics on open wounds is cleansing, prevention and treatment of infection thus promoting healing. Some chemical based antiseptic washes available may cause irritation & allergies to the sensitive skin and create an added problem to already paining wound.

Baksoint 10 Cream

Dry skin or Xerosis is a very common skin problem and is often worse during the winter when environmental humidity is low. It can occur at all ages, in people with or without any other skin problems and it is one of the most common cause that leads to cracked heels and hands. Normally, healthy skin is coated with a thin layer of natural lipids or fatty substances. They keep in moisture, leaving the skin soft and supple but due to some reasons these fatty oils gets stripped off from the skin leaving it unprotected. Though cracks in the skin may arise anywhere in the body the most common area is the rim of the heel, web of toes and hands which happen to be the most frequently or constantly used parts of our body. In order to avoid and treat dry, cracked feet or hand, it is important to get down to the source of the problem.

The most common causes include-

• Naturally dry skin or thick dry skin (callus) on hands or feet especially around the heel that is more likely to crack.
• Certain Diseases like Thyroid disorders, Diabetes and Skin Conditions especially of hands and feet like Athlete’s foot, Psoriasis, Eczema etc.
• Age-  Skinlooses elasticity with age and becomes thick, dry & scaly leading to cracks.
• Unhealthy, dry scaly skin due to climate like very cold, hot or dry weather.
• Deficiency of vitamins, minerals and zinc
• Continuous exposure to water can rob the skin of its natural oils and this can leave the skin dry and rough. Over washing of hands with ordinary soap, especially if done without moisturizing, use of chemicals in cleaning can also cause dryness and cracks in hands and standing for prolonged periods in a damp area such as a bathroom or change in walking posture can cause dry and cracked heels.
• Obesity – Being overweight may increase the pressure on the normal fat pad hence leading to cracked heels
• Ill fitting shoes.

Dry skin on palms or hands is characterized by taut, irritated skin that occurs with excessive sweating or may also be the result of an allergic reaction. The skin often appears red, coupled with itching. In Eczema-like conditions, the skin may also start to peel off. In weather related dry skin there will be a slight irritation while stretching hand. In more severe cases, untreated dry skin may lead to Eczema and Psoriasis, which can take a long time to heal. Dry skin on the heels is often a recurrent problem. It can affect either both the heels or one of the heel. But most commonly, cracked heels affect both the feet. The most common alerts include red or flaky patches; peeling or cracked skin; and discharge or bleeding. At times, the skin will also itch.

Cracked heels or hands are not harmful in anyway except when the fissures or cracks are deep and tend to become painful and the skin begins to bleed. This could lead to infection and is an unavoidable situation mostly for those already suffering from chronic ailments such as Diabetes or lowering immune system due to age or illness which may retard the treatment.
