Bufexamac is primarily used in topical formulations for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It is commonly applied to treat skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and other inflammatory skin disorders. The compound works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are involved in the inflammatory response, thereby reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort. It is often found in creams, ointments, and lotions designed for external use. Additionally, Bufexamac is sometimes used to alleviate symptoms associated with minor burns, insect bites, and sunburn. Its effectiveness in reducing skin inflammation makes it a valuable component in dermatological treatments.
