Vaniza HC Gel 10 gm is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat skin infections like eczema, dermatitis, and allergies. It provides relief from itchy and irritated skin. Skin infection occurs when a foreign microbe like fungus or bacteria invades and affects the tissue on the skin.

Vaniza HC Gel 10 gm is composed of Hydrocortisone and Dimethicone. Hydrocortisone belongs to the class of corticosteroids.

It is an emollient that forms an oily layer on the top of the skin to trap moisture in the skin.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection.
