Orkid 4 Plus Cream

Orkid 4 Plus Cream is used in the treatment of skin infections.

In Eczema

Orkid calms the inflammation behind an eczema flare, quickly reducing the redness, itch and weeping so the skin can heal and the scratch-itch cycle is broken.

In Dermatitis

Orkid settles the red, itchy, inflamed skin of dermatitis, whether from an allergy, irritant or contact with something the skin reacts to.

In Psoriasis

Orkid reduces the thickening, scaling and redness of psoriasis plaques and relieves the itch.

In Skin inflammation and itching

Orkid relieves itching and inflammation of the skin from insect bites, rashes and reactions, so the skin can settle.

In Fungal skin infection

Orkid kills the fungus on the skin or stops it growing, clearing the rash and the itch. Continuing for the full period, even after the skin looks clear, stops it coming back.

In Ringworm

Orkid clears the ring-shaped, itchy rash of ringworm and stops it spreading to other parts of the body or to other people.

In Athlete's foot

Orkid clears the itchy, peeling, cracked skin between the toes and on the soles, and helps stop the infection returning.

In Dandruff

Orkid controls the yeast that drives flaking and itching of the scalp, so dandruff clears and the scalp settles.

In Nail fungal infection

Orkid, applied to the nail, slowly clears a mild fungal nail infection as the healthy nail grows out.

In Skin infection

Orkid kills the bacteria infecting the skin, so the redness, swelling, pain and discharge settle and the skin heals.

In Infected wounds

Orkid clears infection from a cut, graze or wound so it can heal cleanly, and helps prevent infection in a wound at risk.

In Impetigo

Orkid clears the crusted, weeping sores of impetigo and stops them spreading to other areas or to other people.

In Boils

Orkid treats the bacterial infection in a boil or folliculitis, reducing the pain and swelling and helping it heal.

• Apply a thin layer.
• A fingertip's worth covers an area about the size of two adult palms.
• Use a plain moisturiser generously alongside it; that is what keeps eczema away between flares.
• Ask your doctor for a written plan of how long to use it and when to step down.
• Keep the area clean and completely dry.
• Fungus thrives in moisture and sweat.
• Wear loose cotton clothing, change it daily, and wash clothes and towels in hot water.
• Do not share towels, and treat affected family members at the same time.
