Benefits of Scarlite Gel
In Burns
Scarlite Gel helps in the prevention and treatment of infections during treatment of burns. It is also used as an antiseptic in minor cuts and abrasions. It kills the infectious microorganisms, reduces inflammation symptoms such as burning sensation, irritation and pain. This promotes healing of the burns/wounds.

How Scarlite Gel works
Scarlite Gel is a combination of three medicines. Allium Cepa is an herb extract that shows antibacterial action on the burnt wounds. It kills the microorganisms to prevent the wound from getting infected. Allantoin is a skin protectant. It promotes the production of collagen (protein) fibers for faster wound healing. It also provides moisture to the skin and helps to resolve scar marks. Heparin is an anticoagulant. However, it shows anti-inflammatory action when used in this combination. It helps to reduce symptoms of inflammation such as redness, pain, redness, burning sensation, etc. that occurs in the wounds. It also accelerates the healing process of the wounds resulting in smooth healed skin without scars or contractures (hard or tight scars).
