Dermveda Cream is unique as it ensures top quality Dermatologist recommended formulation along by avoiding many ingredients that are considered harmful to the skin over long term usage.
Therapeutic Sulfur: Cortisone-Like & Antiviral Support
One of the key active ingredients in Dermveda’s Jock Itch Relief Treatment is micronized sulfur, a naturally occurring element with a long-standing history in dermatological therapy. Recent research suggests that sulfur not only offers keratolytic and antimicrobial properties, but also displays cortisone-like anti-inflammatory and antifungal behavior. When applied topically, sulfur helps reduce skin inflammation, regulate immune responses, and inhibit fugal persistence—making it particularly suitable for managing Jock Itch.
Clinical Advantages of Dermveda Cream:
-
Modulates inflammation through cytokine inhibition.
-
Disrupts fungal replication environments on the skin surface
-
Supports desquamation and clears lesions without damaging healthy tissue
-
Offers antifungal protection for compromised skin
-
Reduction of erythema, edema, and local inflammation
-
Non-atrophic effect on the skin, unlike topical steroids.
Synergistic Relief with Peppermint Oil: Cooling & Neuromodulatory Action
To enhance comfort and speed recovery, Dermveda combines sulfur with menthol-rich peppermint oil, which delivers a dual benefit of cooling analgesia and neurosensory modulation. Peppermint oil activates TRPM8 receptors on the skin, tricking nerve endings into sensing a cooling effect that can relieve burning and itching sensations commonly reported during Jock Itch.
Peppermint Oil’s Role in Shingles Relief:
-
Provides rapid, drug-free cooling sensation
-
Helps reduce burning, stinging, and postherpetic itch
-
Modulates peripheral nerve endings to reduce pain signals
-
Exhibits mild antifungal activity against enveloped fungi.

Turmeric Root Extract: Anti-Inflammatory & Skin Restorative
Curcuma longa (turmeric) extract, rich in curcumin. Turmeric supports skin healing by targeting NF-κB signaling pathways, reducing chronic inflammation, and accelerating tissue repair. It also helps mitigate oxidative stress caused by immune reactions to the fungi, making it a valuable component in holistic rash management. In synergy with sulfur and peppermint, turmeric enhances skin resilience and promotes a calm, balanced skin environment.
Turmeric’s Dermatological Benefits:
-
Inhibits chronic inflammation at the molecular level
-
Supports regeneration of damaged skin cells
-
Neutralizes free radicals produced by fungal stress
