Zinc ointment is the best proof that a good medicine does not have to be expensive. It costs nothing, but heals both calluses, and sores, and cuts, and even burns. At one time, she disappeared from the pharmacies, then she again appeared on the market. Recently, I buy this drug in the form of a paste, it is a bit thicker in consistency, although, in my opinion, is more oily. By the way, fat content is its only drawback. In general, I think that this ointment and contraindications, then there is no, even if it is assigned to the babies. In my youth, I got rid of the pimples, I took a little ointment on the eye spatula and pimpled it for the night, it dried up by morning and was almost not noticeable. Now I use zinc paste after depilation in the field of bikini, it very quickly and well removes irritation.

Can it be smeared for ever, if there is a rash?
Administrators

Tatyana, I think it's not worth it. The instructions say - do not let the ointment get into your eyes. And how you can smear eyelids on a child so that it does not get into your eyes. Even with an adult it does not work out that way.

Ksenia, On mucous membranes (on the tongue and mucous surface of the lips) ointments from herpes are not used. For this, tablets of antiviral drugs are used.

Who knows? Does zinc ointment help with cracks on the heels?
Administrators
admin
Irina, Zinc ointment, it's ointment, and not paste, they say, it helps.True treatment will be effective if the cracks are caused not by infection, the same fungus, and not by defects in metabolic processes (for example, lack of vitamins, etc. problems), in these cases it is necessary to treat the root cause of the disease, and not the consequence - cracks on the heels.

Zinc oil was cured by the son of acne on the back. For the person now bought metrogil gel, smeared for two days. Yesterday I squeezed out black dots, and in the morning there were a few inflammations (internal pimples) on my face. Tell me, can zinc ointment be used simultaneously with metrogil, or should I stop for a while? I want to use these zits with zinc ointment, she cleaned such things on the back.
Administrators

Marina, You can anoint (given that the drug with your words gives a positive result), but that squeeze the pimples themselves, and even use the drugs that I understand you yourself assign to your child (or the child tries on his own, if already grown up) - this is fraught with serious complications. I would turn to a specialist, a good dermatologist or at worst a cosmetologist, because the causes of acne are a lot - from infections, to endocrinological problems.And so with ointments and external solutions you can not always cure everything.

Tell me, please, after the birth of the child, a sore behind the ear appeared, covered with scales, like dandruff. When you remove this crust, it becomes wet and red. In general, the horror! Handed over the analysis - it does not deprive and not a fungus! Can zinc paste be applied to the lesions? And on the baby it will not be reflected (I breast-feed, 8 months). Thank you in advance.

MadinaIt can also be applied on the breast-feeding of a child, this will not be reflected in any way. The question is whether it will help, but you can understand this only after consulting a dermatologist.

And can zinc paste or ointment smear armpits from the smell? Very worried about the smell, than just did not try everything to no avail.
Administrators

Marina, Zinc ointment or paste in your case will be useless, since the smell causes bacteria that decompose the sweat, and with this the drug does not fight. It is better to wipe with an antiseptic some special, such as Formidron.

Zinc ointment healed cracks on the fingers. It's strange that the cracks arose from dryness, and the ointment dried more, but the cracks lasted a couple of days.Until this week, they did not heal, they closed.

Hello. Does zinc paste help with allergic dermatitis? To the baby 4 months, on a neck horror that is created, the erythema awful, and something stands out, the smell of atas. The pediatrician has written out fenistil, I smear for a week, to sense of zero. My friends told me about zinc paste, I think it's worth it or not. And ahead of the weekend, the doctors will not apply.

Albina, Zinc ointment can be used for skin allergy, especially with suppuration (this may have happened in your case), but I will not say that the effect will be sufficient, since you need to search for the cause (why allergy arises) in your daughter and eliminate it in including medical treatment. Probably, it is necessary to address to the allergist for the decision of a problem in a root.

AnaraMost likely zinc ointment in this case will be a useless medicine, it has a different mechanism of action and other purpose. Better to use to get rid of stretch marks nourishing, regenerating and other specialized creams or ointments.

Prompt. Went to the doctor as a result put perioral dermatitis and prescribed zinc paste 1%, but it is not sold anywhere. Doing it to order? Or it is possible to replace with something?
Administrators
admin
Yana, No, Zinc paste is sold in ready form and in Moscow there are a lot of pharmacies where it is paste, not ointment, that is sold.

The difference between the paste and the ointment is that the first contains more powdered substance - zinc oxide, which is why it lasts longer on the applied surface and has a more pronounced anti-inflammatory effect than the ointment. So I would find a paste, as the doctor advised.If it is not at all - then use Zinc Ointment.
Tell me, please, why (under what conditions) can a skin rash appear from the zinc ointment. After reading the instructions, confuses. An ointment from the diseases showing itself as symptoms on a skin, and suddenly an incidental phenomenon-a skin rash, moreover and an itch with a hyperemia.

Natalia 08042015, The instructions indicate any side effects that were recorded at the time of clinical and post-clinical trials of the drug. Sometimes these side effects are associated with the disease for which the medication is used, but the changes are still attributed to the drug. So it is necessary to try and then decide on the place, that of the pimple is manifested in a particular patient, and what does not.

Terrible ingrowning after depilation ... Decided not to do it again. She removed her hair and smeared it with zinc paste.Very slowly, but it helps. Prompt, it is not dangerous to put it on such "intimate" places? She smeared, and I myself sit and think - is it right ...

Tatyana, Never faced a similar problem in women, but it is better to try to use special soothing and restorative ointments and cream after traumatizing the skin of cosmetic procedures. If they do not help, then it's better to contact a dermatologist, maybe they took a deeper layer than it should be according to the procedure.

Ershov
The site on the treatment of hemorrhoids read about the possibility and good effectiveness of zinc oxide (like 10% zinc ointment, and 25% zinc paste). Ointments in our nearest pharmacies were not there, I bought the paste. However, the instructions in the indications section for the use of hemorrhoids are not mentioned. Is it possible and does it make sense to try and, if possible, not too much concentration 25%?
Administrators
admin
Ershov, Pasta is even better, because the concentration of zinc is higher than in the ointment. Yes, there are such methods of treating hemorrhoids, but this is already from the field of traditional medicine, when using any drugs that remotely affect the course of the course or development of the disease.

I would use candle-supplements, shown for the treatment of your disease, because this is a specialized treatment, and ointments, lotions, etc. this is as lucky. Radical relief from hemorrhoids is possible by surgical treatment of patients to whom surgery is indicated by a proctologist surgeon, all the rest is a blurring of symptoms.

Paste very well dries pimples, ointment is more suitable for long-term use. A couple of weeks - and the face is completely clean. Until the next relapse, really.
