Gently rub in the cream until it is fully absorbed.
Be careful to avoid contact with your eyes, nose, mouth and other mucous membranes.
Do not apply the cream to broken, irritated or sunburned skin.
Remember to use sunscreen and protective clothing when using this cream, as it may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun.
For specific advice on how often to apply this cream, consult your doctor.

Lacsoft Cream is applied topically.

Using Lacsoft Cream may lead to the following side effects:

Skin irritation
Redness of skin
Burning sensation on the skin
Itching on the skin
Dryness of the treated skin which can lead to peeling or flaking
Hyperpigmentation: This is a condition where patches of your skin become darker than your normal skin colour.
Hypopigmentation: This is when patches of your skin become lighter than your normal skin colour.
Photosensitivity: This means that your skin might react more intensely to sunlight and can burn more easily.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Lacsoft Cream. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Skin irritation and redness: Try applying the cream at night so that your skin can recover while you sleep.
Photosensitivity: Always use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when stepping out in the sun to manage this effect.

Lacsoft Cream contains Lactic Acid (12%), which works on your skin in multiple ways:

Keratolytic Effect: Lactic acid helps soften and dissolve the 'glue' that holds dead skin cells together, facilitating their removal from the skin surface.
Humectant Effect: As a humectant, lactic acid attracts and binds water molecules, improving the water-holding capacity of your skin and thereby enhancing hydration.
Increased Cell Turnover: By promoting exfoliation, or the shedding of dead skin cells, lactic acid increases cell renewal. This results in fresh cells migrating from deeper layers of your epidermis to replace old, dry skin on the surface.
Adjustment of Skin pH: The acidity of lactic acid helps temporarily lower the pH of your skin surface, thus inhibiting bacterial growth and restoring your skin's natural protective barrier.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while using Lacsoft Cream if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before applying this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you're breastfeeding, exercise caution when using Lacsoft Cream. We recommend discussing this with your doctor before starting the medicine.

Alcohol

There is generally no interaction between alcohol and Lacsoft Cream as it is a topical application. However, for any concerns, it's always safe to consult your doctor.

Using Machines & Driving

Other Topical Medications: If you apply Lacsoft Cream to an area of skin where another topical medicine has been applied, there could be increased absorption of both medications. Examples of such medications might include corticosteroid creams like hydrocortisone or antibacterial ointments like fusidic acid.

Over Dose

Applying an excess amount of Lacsoft Cream can lead to mild skin irritation, redness, or peeling. If you've accidentally used too much, rinse the area with cool water. If any discomfort persists, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to apply Lacsoft Cream at the scheduled time, do so as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next application, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Don't apply extra cream to make up for a missed dose without consulting your doctor.

Keep it away from direct heat and sunlight to maintain its effectiveness.
Ensure the tube is tightly closed when not in use to prevent exposure to air and moisture.
Keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

For conditions like xerosis and ichthyosis vulgaris, which Lacsoft Cream helps manage, it's beneficial for your skin if you drink plenty of water daily. This helps keep your skin hydrated from within.
Include omega-3 rich foods like fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds in your diet. These healthy fats help maintain the natural oil barrier of your skin, keeping it moisturised and less prone to dryness.
