Every person in life has had cases when on the skin there were any inflammations. Modern medicine now can provide a huge number of tools that successfully cope with their manifestations. But among them there is one old and proven - streptotsidovaya ointment.
Indications and contraindications to the use of streptocid ointment
Streptocide ointment has long established itself as an inexpensive and effective tool that helps in the fight against skin inflammatory processes:
- acne, boils, acne ;
- inflamed wounds and cracks;
- post-burn injuries;
- ulcerative lesions of the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
The therapeutic effect of streptocid ointment is explained by its effect on the intracellular metabolism of the cell and the violation of its process. Ointment consists of a therapeutic drug - sulfonamide, and a small amount of additional auxiliary ingredients. It should be noted that the use of streptocid ointment is indicated only for bacterial inflammation (suppuration). Not bad results in the treatment of streptodermia streptocid ointment shows in combination with zinc ointment. Before use, the site of inflammation should be cleaned with moist gauze or antiseptic (Miramistin, hydrogen peroxide, manganese solution).
The main contraindication is the presence of allergic reactions to sulfanilamide group preparations. It is not recommended to use ointments during pregnancy and during the lactation period. There is also no reliable evidence of good tolerability and no side effects when ointment is used in pediatrics.
Streptocide ointment against acne
Probably acne and acne are the most common skin problem, which affects not only adolescents, but also adults. It is always unpleasant, having looked in a mirror, to find out a suspicious reddening, and at times also the already formed disgusting pryshchik. In this case, streptocidal ointment should help you.
Streptocide is an excellent antibacterial substance that dries up the inflamed area and helps to restore the normal skin quickly. It is necessary to pay attention to the way of using the ointment: it is always applied pointwise to the affected area with a thin layer twice a day, and the treatment time should not exceed 10-14 days. If during this period the desired effect is not achieved, you should change the ointment and visit a dermatologist. After all, acne can be a manifestation of the problems of the gastrointestinal tract. And while the root cause is not eliminated, it is pointless to struggle with the consequences.
A special streptocid ointment is also produced from acne, which has an extract of calendula to enhance the effect on skin inflammations. In the pharmacy you can make a special ointment based on streptocides with the addition of boron and zinc.
There is also a prescription mask for acne based on streptocid ointment. For this you need:
- Powder streptotsida dilute with aloe juice to the state of thick sour cream.
- Add a couple drops of iodine.
- This mixture should be applied to the affected areas of the skin at night and washed off with water in the morning.
Does streptocid ointment help herpes?
