Antiirritant

An antiirritant is an agent or substance used to reduce irritation to the skin or other external surfaces. It is generally used to provide relief from symptoms such as itching, burning, stinging, and inflammation. Common examples of antiirritants are hydrocortisone creams, calamine lotion, and topical steroids. These agents work by helping to reduce inflammation, reduce irritation, and provide a protective barrier to the skin. They can also be used to reduce the discomfort caused by skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Antiirritants can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including minor cuts, scrapes, and insect bites.
