Exorex Lotion 100ml

Gentle Relief for Severely Dry and Flaking Skin

Exorex Lotion 100ml offers a targeted approach to managing persistent skin concerns, particularly those characterised by severe dryness, scaling, and redness. Its key active ingredient, prepared coal tar 5% v/w, is known for its ability to help normalise skin cell production, reduce inflammation, and calm itching.

This formulation is a valuable part of a daily skincare routine for those experiencing such skin issues. Users often observe improvements in their skin's appearance within a few weeks, though individual results may vary. Weldricks Pharmacy is proud to provide professional-grade solutions like Exorex Lotion 100ml, helping you confidently manage your skin's health.

Flexible Application for All Skin Types

Exorex Lotion 100ml can be tailored to your skin's needs. If you have sensitive skin, have been managing a skin condition long-term, or have previously used steroid treatments, diluting the lotion is recommended. This also applies to elderly individuals and children under 12, ensuring gentle yet effective care. Always consult with a pharmacist if you are unsure about diluting or applying the product.

Exorex Lotion 100ml is for application to dry, scaly, and irritated skin and scalp.

• Shake the bottle thoroughly before each use.

Adults and children over 12 years of age

• Ensure that all affected areas of skin are clean.
• Apply a thin layer of Exorex Lotion 100ml two to three times a day to affected areas.
• Massage gently and leave to dry.

Children under 12 years and the elderly

As for adults, but the lotion can be diluted by mixing with a few drops of freshly boiled and cooled water if preferred.

Previous users have found the application of a thin layer of moisturising cream to be helpful in keeping the affected areas moist after application of the lotion.

If you use more Exorex Lotion 100ml than you should, it is unlikely to be harmful but may result in allergy (hypersensitivity) to coal tar.

Do not use Exorex Lotion 100ml:

• If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to coal tar or any of the other ingredients.
• If you suffer from inflammation of the hair follicles (folliculitis) or acne.
• If your skin reacts badly to sunlight (you are photosensitive).
• If you suffer from a condition called lupus erythematosus.
• If you have inflamed or broken skin (you have open wounds or your skin is infected).
• On the genital or rectal areas.

Take care when applying the lotion around the eyes and other sensitive areas of the body such as the mouth. If any lotion accidentally enters the eyes, rinse with water immediately.

Coal tar makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight. Exposure to direct sunlight (such as sunbathing) should therefore be avoided after application of Exorex Lotion 100ml. There may be a very small increase in the risk of skin changes in patients with severe skin conditions who are treated with coal tar products, but this is not proven.
