Fenistil Anti-Itch Gel for Rash, Insect Bites, and Allergic Skin Reactions

Fenistil is an anti-itch gel from GSK, formulated with Dimethindene Maleate 0.1%, an antihistamine that blocks histamine, the substance the skin releases during an allergic reaction. It calms itching and redness from rash, insect and mosquito bites, sunburn, and minor burns, and most people feel relief begin within a few minutes of applying it.

How It Works

By blocking histamine, the antihistamine gel calms redness, swelling, and the urge to scratch from an allergic reaction. It has a light, cooling feel as it absorbs, and the formula is alcohol-, perfume-, and colorant-free, making it gentle for everyday use.

How to Apply

  • Clean and dry the affected area first.
  • Apply a thin layer 2 to 4 times a day.
  • Gently rub it in until fully absorbed.
  • Use for up to 7 days; check with a doctor if itching or the rash continues.

Applying it consistently through a flare-up, rather than only once symptoms peak, helps keep the itching down between doses.

Who It's For

Fenistil Gel is suitable for both children and adults. For infants and very young children, avoid applying it over large areas of raw or broken skin, and check with a pediatrician first if you are unsure. If you are pregnant or nursing, avoid extensive use and keep it away from the nipple area while breastfeeding.

Safety Notes

For external use only. Avoid the eyes and other mucous membranes, and rinse with water right away if contact happens. Avoid prolonged sun exposure on treated skin, and do not use it on damaged or broken skin unless a doctor advises it. Keep the tube out of the reach of children to prevent accidental swallowing.

What's in the Tube

Each tube contains 100 g of gel, sized for ongoing home use. Looking for something to keep in a bag or at the office? The Fenistil Gel 30 g carries the same Dimethindene Maleate formula in a travel-friendly tube.

For general background on how this class of medicine works in the body, see Wikipedia's overview of the antihistamine drug class.
