The drug "Skin Cap" refers to the clinical and pharmacological category of drugs that have antifungal, antibacterial and antiproliferative effects. The active substance is zinc pyrithione. Antifungal activity is particularly pronounced with respect to microorganisms that provoke inflammation and excessive peeling due to skin pathologies. Zinc pyrithione lowers the intracellular concentration of ATP, contributing to the depolarization of cell membranes. As a result of the activity, bacteria and fungi die. Against the background of external use, the active component is deposited in the surface layers of the dermis and epidermis. Systemic absorption is slow. Many people think that Skin Cap cream is a hormonal drug. However, most experts argue that the tool is not.
