Skin Care Medicines & Store Locator – Jan Aushadhi Shop

Skin infections, dryness, allergies, or rashes can occur at any time, and getting the right medicine on time is important. Branded skin care medicines in the market tend to be quite expensive, which often makes it difficult for people to continue regular treatment.

Under the Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP), more than 15,000 Jan Aushadhi Kendras across the country offer generic skin care medicines — with the same quality standards, but at 50-60% lower prices. On this page, we provide general information about skin care medicines and help you locate your nearest Jan Aushadhi Kendra.

Important: Several of these products (such as Testosterone Gel, the Minoxidil-Finasteride combination, and Candid-V) are prescription-only medicines and should only be used under the guidance and monitoring of a qualified doctor. Hormone-based and hair-regrowth treatments can have side effects, so please avoid self-medication.

Why Skin Care Medicines Matter

Skin is the body's largest organ and acts as the first line of defense against infection. If skin problems aren't treated in time:

• Infections can spread to deeper layers

• Scarring or permanent marks may occur

• Discomfort and disruption to daily life can increase

That's why affordable access to genuine, quality skin care medicines matters — and that's the core purpose of Jan Aushadhi Kendras.

Why Choose Jan Aushadhi Generic Medicines

• Same Quality, Lower Price: Generic medicines contain the same active ingredients as branded medicines — only the price is 50-60% lower.

• Government-Backed Quality Standards: Medicines supplied under the PMBJP scheme go through quality testing.

• Wide Availability: With over 15,000 Kendras across the country, access is easier in most areas.

Important Safety Note

• Do not use any prescription-based skin medicine (such as steroid creams or oral antifungal tablets) without a doctor's advice.

• If a skin problem persists for more than 1-2 weeks, or worsens, consult a dermatologist immediately.

• It's advisable to do a patch test before using any new cream or medicine, especially if you have a history of allergies.
