CompositionSumag Hin Ointment is a topical ointment used for minor skin swelling, boils and superficial skin inflammation, and to soothe dry or irritated skin. It is a combination medicine containing magnesium sulphate (which draws out fluid and eases swelling), proflavine (an antiseptic), sulphacetamide (an antibacterial), urea (which softens dry, rough skin) and glycerin (which keeps the skin moist), and belongs to a class of medicines called topical antiseptic and soothing preparations.
This medicine works by drawing out excess fluid from swollen skin, reducing bacteria on the surface and softening and moisturising the skin. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply it as directed by your doctor and wash your hands before and after use. It is for external use only.
Keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding scratching or squeezing boils, can help the skin settle and reduce the risk of the infection spreading.
Before using this medicine, tell your doctor if you have sulphonamide allergy, broken or severely damaged skin, or if you are using other skin products. Do not apply it near the eyes or mouth, and seek advice if redness, pain or swelling spreads or does not improve.
