Adalimumab binds specifically to TNF and neutralises the biological function of TNF by blocking its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors.
The world’s first and only hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)-specific dressing retention system, intended for use by people with HS lesions in difficult-to-dress areas of the body, such as the armpit, buttocks and groin. The system is made up of two parts: HidraWear reusable baselayers, which act as a dressing retention aid and HidraWear dressings with SecureLock Technology, which are soft & super absorbent, locking in large amounts of exudate. The system removes the need for the dressings to be adhesively attached to the skin leading to quicker, less painful dressing changes, no leakage and more freedom to move.

Shampoo containing coal tar that has a mild antiseptic and anti-inflammatory that helps to relieve itching.
Salatac Gel is a combination of salicylic acid and lactic acid, which are routinely used in the treatment of verrucas, warts, corns and calluses for their keratolytic properties. When applied topically and in high enough concentrations, salicylic acid acts by achieving a slow, painless destruction of the thickened stratum corneum. It softens and destroys the stratum corneum of the affected tissue by reducing the adhesiveness of the corneocytes while causing the cornified epithelium to swell, soften, macerate and finally desquamate. In the treatment of warts, a mild irritant reaction, which may render the virus more prone to immunologic stimulation or response, may add to the mechanical removal of infected cells. In addition to its antiseptic and caustic properties, lactic acid enhances the availability of salicylic acid from the dried collodion
Salactol is a combination of salicylic acid and lactic acid in flexible collodion. Salicylic acid has bacteriostatic and fungicidal actions, as well as keratolytic properties. Its effectiveness as a topical treatment for hyperkeratotic skin lesions is based on its mild keratolytic action, which slowly and painlessly destroys the epithelium. In the treatment of warts, a mild irritant reaction, which may render the virus more prone to immunologic stimulation or response, may add to the mechanical removal of infected cells. In addition to its antiseptic and caustic properties, lactic acid enhances the availability of salicylic acid from the dried collodion
Psoriderm Cream is a coal tar preparation. Coal tar has been used dermatologically for hundreds of years and has been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of scaly skin conditions such as psoriasis. The precise mechanism of action of coal tar is not understood, largely as a result of it comprising up to 10,000 components. There is evidence that topical application of coal tar improves psoriasis by reducing the excessive rate of mitotic epidermal cell division.
Emulsiderm is a liquid emulsion that can be used as a bath additive or applied directly to the skin. It is an antimicrobial bath emollient that permits the rehydration of the keratin by replacing lost lipids. It contains 50% oils emulsified in water and a well-known antiseptic, benzalkonium chloride, which assists in overcoming secondary infection
Doublebase Gel is a highly emollient and protective hydrating base. It may also be used as an adjunct to other topical treatments. The oily ingredients, isopropyl myristate and liquid paraffin, encourage rehydration and softening of dry skin by forming an occlusive barrier within the skin surface, thus reducing drying as a result of the evaporation of water diffusing from the underlying layers
Doublebase Dayleve Gel is a long-lasting highly emollient and protective hydrating base. It may also be used as an adjunct to other topical treatments. The oily ingredients, isopropl myristate and liquid paraffin, encourage rehydration and softening of dry skin by forming an occlusive barrier within the skin surface, thus reducing drying as a result of the evaporation of water diffusing from the underlying layers. Can be used as little as twice a day, morning and night
