Caldesene Adult Powder 100g protects skin against irritation and body odor caused by common bacteria and fungi, especially in delicate skin folds. It is a medicated powder that can be used for the prevention and treatment of prickly heat and chafing. Protects against irritation and can be used to help relieve dry, itchy skin.

Chafing is a common skin problem caused by any combination of friction, moisture, and irritating fabric. Prolonged rubbing on the skin makes your skin sting or burn, and you develop a mild, red rash. You’re more likely to develop chafing on body parts that rub against each other or your clothing. It commonly occurs on the thighs and buttocks. The nipples, groin, feet, and armpits can also chafe.

Prickly heat is a rash that causes the skin to turn red, along with a warm, stinging, or prickly sensation. The feeling is usually accompanied by small red dots in the affected area. The rash may also have small, raised bumps and blisters. The face, neck, shoulders, and chest are the most common places for prickly heat to occur, although it may show up anywhere. It can affect anyone, but children are more likely to have it than adults.

Prickly heat is caused by trapped sweat. When the body is hot, it activates the sweat glands to create sweat on the skin. The sweat then cools the skin as it evaporates. When the body is kept in this warm state, the constant sweat production can overload the sweat glands. This can cause the sweat ducts to become clogged, trapping sweat in the deep layers of the skin. This trapped sweat irritates the skin, which responds by producing a rash.

Also available for the treatment of prickly heat and chafing is caldesene powder 20g, 55g, 100g along with caldease ointment.
