AmLactin lotion treats a variety of dry skin conditions. Available over-the-counter without a prescription, AmLactin lotion's main ingredient is ammonium lactate, which is a combination of ammonium hydroxide and lactic acid. Users tolerate the AmLactin lotion very well, with the most common side effects limited to mild skin redness, skin peeling, and darkening of the treated skin.
Dry Skin
AmLactin lotion softens dry, scaly skin, whether due to weather changes, environmental allergens, or advancing age. The lotion should be shaken before use and applied liberally to the affected area, taking care to rub the medicine in until it is evenly distributed. AmLactin lotion should be applied twice a day.
Feet
The soles of the feet have the toughest, thickest skin on the body and can be a particularly troublesome area for dry skin. Excessive dryness may cause the skin to crack and bleed. When applied twice a day, AmLactin lotion can soften and moisturize feet, repairing the damage and smoothing out rough patches.
Eczema
A more severe form of dryness, eczema reveals itself as rough patches of red, irritated skin, often highlighted by small red bumps. Eczema causes severe itching, with the scratching only exacerbating the condition. AmLactin lotion's moisturizing properties soothe the itch and allow the eczema to heal without the need for expensive prescription medications.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis, one of the most common skin diseases, affects any part of the body but is most often found on the scalp. Psoriasis produces red, inflamed skin that's typically covered in silvery scales. Other less frequent cases of the disease may cause red spots, red scaling, white lesions, and possible thrush infection. The lactic acid in AmLactin lotion proves effective in calming the inflammation and itching of psoriasis, while soothing the scales and dryness.
Keratosis Pilaris
When keratin, the protein found in skin and nails, builds up in the opening of hair follicles, it can lead to a condition known as keratosis pilaris. Most often affecting the skin of the arms, legs, and buttocks, keratosis pilaris features patches of dry, rough skin marked with bumps similar to goose flesh. The affected areas may be red in color or remain the typical skin tone. While a relatively harmless condition, keratosis pilaris can be frustrating and difficult to treat. AmLactin lotion moisturizes and soothes the dry skin associated with keratois pilaris and also exfoliates dead skin cells to help unclog blocked hair follicles.
