About Quiss Burn Cream

Quiss Burn Cream is a topical antiseptic medication used to treat surgical cuts, leg ulcers, pressure sores, abrasions, blisters, cracked skin, minor skin cuts, wounds, and burns & for prophylaxis of infection at the skin graft donor site. Minor skin wounds are injuries that damage the outer layer of the skin without affecting deeper tissues.

Quiss Burn Cream contains four active ingredients: Silver Nitrate (an antiseptic), Chlorhexidine Gluconate (an antiseptic), Allantoin (an emollient), and Aloe Vera (an emollient). Silver Nitrate and Chlorhexidine Gluconate work by killing the infection-causing bacteria. Allantoin works by forming a moisture-locking barrier, hydrating and softening the skin while also helping to remove dead skin cells by breaking down keratin (a skin protein), making the skin smoother. Aloe vera works by stimulating the skin to produce collagen, reducing swelling, and promoting skin healing.

Quiss Burn Cream is intended for external use only. It may cause common side effects, such as skin irritation, itching, redness, and mild burning or cold sensation at the application site, in some people. Most of these side effects are mild and gradually resolve over time without requiring medical attention. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Before using Quiss Burn Cream, please inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Let your doctor know if you have any skin infections or are using other topical medications before applying Quiss Burn Cream. Avoid contact of Quiss Burn Cream with clothes or fabric, as it may cause staining. Quiss Burn Cream can easily catch on fire, so avoid using it while smoking or near an open flame. Please consult your doctor if you are a pregnant or breastfeeding woman. It should be used in children only if advised by a doctor. Avoid contact of Quiss Burn Cream with nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. If Quiss Burn Cream accidentally comes in contact with these areas, rinse with water thoroughly.

Directions for Use

Quiss Burn Cream is for external use only. Take a small amount of cream into your fingertips and apply it to the clean and dry affected area. Massage it gently until it gets absorbed completely.

Medicinal Benefits

Quiss Burn Cream is a topical antiseptic medication that is effectively used in the treatment of surgical cuts, leg ulcers, pressure sores, abrasions, blisters, cracked skin, minor skin cuts, wounds, and burns & for prophylaxis of infection at the skin graft donor site. It contains four active ingredients: Silver Nitrate, Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Allantoin, and Aloe Vera. Silver Nitrate and Chlorhexidine Gluconate are antiseptic agents that kill or stop the growth of bacteria on skin wounds. Silver nitrate can also help form a scab (a hard, protective crust that forms over a wound), which can stop the bleeding from a minor wound. Allantoin and Aloe vera are emollients that heal and protect the skin. Allantoin helps form a moisture-locking barrier, hydrating and softening the skin while also helping to remove dead skin cells by breaking down keratin (a skin protein), making the skin smoother. Aloe vera stimulates the skin to produce collagen, reducing swelling and promoting skin healing. Together, Quiss Burn Cream helps in the effective treatment of minor skin wounds.

How Quiss Burn Cream Works

Quiss Burn Cream contains four active ingredients: Silver Nitrate (an antiseptic), Chlorhexidine Gluconate (an antiseptic), Allantoin (an emollient), and Aloe Vera (an emollient). Silver Nitrate works by releasing silver ions that attach to bacterial proteins, damaging their structure. These ions also react with tissue chloride to form silver chloride, which coagulates cellular protein to form an eschar (dead tissue that forms on the skin wound) to help stop bleeding. Chlorhexidine Gluconate works by breaking down the bacterial cell wall, causing the contents inside the cell to leak out and the bacteria to die. Allantoin works by forming a moisture-locking barrier, hydrating and softening the skin, and helping to remove dead skin cells by breaking down keratin (a skin protein), making the skin smoother. Aloe vera works by stimulating the skin to produce collagen, reducing swelling, and promoting skin healing.
