Tannolact products are particularly effective against inflammation in the anal and genital areas and on skin folds, where the skin is inflamed by constant rubbing.

The various products from Tannolact all contain the same active ingredient, Tamol PP (Phenol-methanal-urea-polycondensate). This is one synthetically produced tanning agent. Tannins are naturally occurring substances that, in low doses, have an anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and wound healing effect.
The anti-inflammatory and itch-relieving effect is due to the formation of a kind of protective film in the area of the epidermis. This protects the skin from further damage by irritating substances or pathogens and allows it to heal. An additional drying, contracting (astringent) and has a slight hemostatic effect, Tannolact can also be used on open and weeping wounds. It inhibits further oozing of the wound and thereby supports wound healing in the affected skin area. Finally, the use of Tannolact leads to a reduction in pain and itching.
Side effects from treatment with Tannolact products are rare. One of the reasons for this is that the active ingredients and ingredients only appear externally (topical) and therefore do not get into the body's bloodstream. For this reason, side effects mainly occur in the area of the skin where the preparation has been applied.

Further skin irritations are also possible. The use of Tannolact in the eye area is particularly dangerous. Contact with the eyes causes severe irritation and inflammation in the eye area. Vigorous rinsing of the eyes for at least 10 minutes and the consultation of an ophthalmologist is urgently required in this case.

The use of Tannolact differs depending on the dosage form (cream, bath additive, lotion).
The Tannolact (fat) cream should be applied thinly to the affected skin area three times a day. It should be used until the inflammation of the skin has subsided.
Tannolact lotions should be applied thinly once or twice a day. They are particularly suitable for the prevention of diaper rash and can therefore also be used with every diaper change.
Tannolact bath products can be used in many different ways. Both full baths, hip baths and partial baths are possible. The amount of bath additive can be found on the package insert, depending on the type of bath.

In the genital area in particular, the skin is often permanently reddened and inflamed. This usually becomes symptomatic with severe itching. This inflammation is continuously increased by the constant friction of the skin folds or by clothing. There is also the risk of infection of the inflamed skin, as there are numerous naturally occurring germs in the genital area. Regular use of Tannolact fat cream can counteract this. By applying it three times a day, the epidermis is strengthened, a protective film is formed and at the same time itching, burning and pain is alleviated.
