Per a Bangladesh pharmacy source (the only source where a composition for this item could be found): per 5g, Dermaid (Unani formulation category: Dermaid) contains Camphor 71.4mg, Henna 71.4mg, Catechu 71.4mg, an ingredient identified only as "Monkey Face Tree" 71.4mg (a common name that could not be further verified to a specific botanical species), Zinc Oxide 71.4mg, Hydrated Magnesium Silicate 71.4mg, Processed Sulphur 142.9mg, in a Vaseline (petroleum jelly) base of 357.25mg.
Per a Bangladesh pharmacy source: scabies, itching, pustular skin conditions, piles (haemorrhoids), eczema, psoriasis, ringworm, skin eruptions, and burns. This is confirmed to be a topical/external-use ointment applied to the skin, not an oral medicine. As with all traditional/Unani medicine indications, this reflects the manufacturer's and directory's stated traditional uses rather than claims backed by disclosed clinical trial data, and for persistent or serious skin conditions, a dermatologist's assessment is recommended alongside or instead of self-treatment.
Rub gently onto the affected skin area, 2-4 times daily, or as directed by a physician, per a Bangladesh pharmacy source. For external use on the skin only - do not apply to broken skin, mucous membranes, or the eyes without medical advice, and do not swallow.
No significant side effects at proper dosage and no known contraindications are reported by a Bangladesh pharmacy source, though this is standard general-purpose labeling language rather than a finding from a rigorous clinical trial. Given the sulphur and zinc oxide content, individuals with known sensitivities to these ingredients, or with broken/severely irritated skin, should exercise caution and consult a physician or pharmacist before use. One Bangladesh retailer notes this product is sold as requiring a prescription - if you purchase this product, follow any prescription or professional guidance given to you rather than relying solely on this description.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light and out of reach of children. Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the pack. This product is sold in a 20g tube, confirmed by a Bangladesh pharmacy source and corroborated by at least one other Bangladesh retailer.
