About
ALLANTOIN+HEPARIN SODIUM+ALLIUM CEPA EXTRACT belongs to the group of medications called ‘dermatological agents' primarily indicated for the management of scars occurring due to surgery, burns, stretch marks, acne, and breast amputations. The scar is a brown or pale pink patch of skin that marks the site where the skin has healed.
ALLANTOIN+HEPARIN SODIUM+ALLIUM CEPA EXTRACT contains Allantoin, Heparin sodium, and Allium cepa extract. Allantoin is a keratolytic agent that removes dead skin cells.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Scars: A scar is a brown or pale pink patch of skin that marks the site where the skin has healed. Scars can develop as a result of burns, wounds, scrapes, acne, amputations, or surgery. Scars are classified into keloid scars, hypertrophic scars, and contractures. Keloid scars are circular, thick, and uneven scars that occur outside the margins of a wound. Hypertrophic scars are similar to keloid scars but form within the wound's margins. Contractures are scars formed when a bigger skin region is injured and destroyed, such as during surgery.
