Castellani Nail Paint with Magenta 50ml

This is a topical paint for tinea involving the nails.

Castellani's paint was perfected in 1905 by Aldo Castellani (1878-1971), an Italian physician and a specialist in tropical diseases. 

Ingredients:

  • Magenta (basic fuchsin): a dark purple staining liquid with local anesthetic, bactericidal  and fungicidal properties.  
  • Ethanol, a solvent with cooling and antiseptic properties.
  • Boric acid: Boric acid has antiseptic and antifungal properties. 
  • Phenol: Phenol is acaustic agent, which at lower concentrations inhibits nerve endings, acting as an anti-pruritic.
  • Acetone: Acetone is a solvent with cooling and cleansing properties.
  • Resorcinol: Resorcinol is an important constituent of Castellani's paint. It has anti-pruritic, keratolytic, anti-mycotic and anti-eczematous properties.

Directions: Apply to affected areas at night with a cotton-tipped applicator daily at night. Then dry and dust with talc.

Additional Information: Castellani's paint was perfected in 1905 by Aldo Castellani (1878-1971), an Italian physician and a specialist in tropical diseases. Castellani's paint is an excellent preparation for tinea cruris and moniliasis of intertriginous areas.1 It is effective in pustular dermatoses of the hands and feet,2 and has also been recommended for pruritus ani and pruritus vulvae.3 Colorless Castellani's paint may be used to reduce secondary bacterial contamination in onycholysis and in chronic paronychia.4

Castellani's paint dramatically improves inflamed skin around the the groin, particularly in patients with a history of long-term topical steroid application. Applying Castellani's paint is an effective way to dry oozing lesions, particularly in the groins and the toe webs.9
