About Pigolyn Lotion

Pigolyn Lotion belongs to a class of medicines called 'photosensitizer', which are used in the treatment of psoriasis and vitiligo. Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes red, itchy, scaly patches, most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp. Vitiligo is a condition in which the skin loses its pigment cells (melanocytes). This can result in discoloured patches in different areas of the body, including the skin, hair, and mucous membranes.

Pigolyn Lotion contains “trioxsalen”, which is a photosensitive medication used along with UV-A rays. In psoriasis, it works by reducing the overproduction of skin cells. In vitiligo, it activates certain skin cells (melanocytes) and helps re-pigment the discoloured, white patches.

Pigolyn Lotion is an external preparation. Do not consume it. In case of accidental ingestion, seek immediate medical help. Use it as advised by your physician. Do not apply in larger or smaller amounts than recommended. You may have common side effects like erythema (skin redness), blisters on the skin, edema (swelling), and itching. These side effects resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist, stop using it and consult your doctor.

Pigolyn Lotion should not be used if you are allergic to it. Inform your doctor if you are using any topical medicines other than this medicine and if you are pregnant/breastfeeding. It should be used with caution in patients who are allergic to sunlight, porphyria, heart disease, cataracts, skin cancers and lupus erythematosus condition.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Psoriasis: Psoriasis is a common, long-term (chronic) auto-immune disorder. It tends to go through cycles, flaring for a few weeks or months, then subsiding for a while or going into remission. Common signs and symptoms include red patches of skin covered with thick, silvery scales, small scaling spots (commonly seen in children), dry/cracked skin that may bleed or itch, itching, burning or soreness, thickened, pitted or ridged nails, swollen and stiff joints.

Vitiligo: Vitiligo is an auto-immune disease that causes loss of skin colour in patches. The discoloured areas usually get bigger with time. The condition can affect the skin on any part of the body. It can also affect the hair and the inside of the mouth. Symptoms include patchy loss of skin colour ( which usually first appears on the hands, face, and areas around body openings and the genitals), premature whitening or greying of the hair (on your scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows or beard), loss of colour in the tissues that line the inside of your mouth and nose (mucous membranes). Causes of vitiligo are family history (heredity) and a trigger event such (as stress, severe sunburn or skin trauma).
