Arsenicum Iodatum is a homeopathic remedy made from arsenic triiodide, a chemical substance in the form of orange, odourless but acidic crystals.
It acts directly on the skin and on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract.
It is used in homeopathy in the form of granules and is available in various dilutions expressed in Hahnemannian centesimal or CH.

It is also indicated for herpetic, scaly and/or crusted skin eruptions and effectively treats hardened or vulvar acne, which causes flaking and dryness of the skin.
