So are these little ointments really that magical?

This article will talk about the small ointments that doctors often prescribe, and what are their uses.

The first category: acne specific drugs.

(1) benzoyl peroxide gel

Benzoyl peroxide gel, commonly known as "Bansai" in Jianghu, is a commonly used medicine for treating papular pustular acne.

Benzoyl peroxide, as its name implies, is a peroxide, which is easy to decompose. Benzoyl peroxide releases new ecological oxygen and benzoic acid by separating from organic matter, thus achieving the triple effects of sterilization, anti-inflammation and acne removal.

In other words, Bansai can "slaughter" Propionibacterium acnes, inhibit sebum secretion and dissolve keratin. Therefore, dermatologists often prescribe benzoyl oxide gel (Bansai) to patients with mild acne with a small number of papules and pustules as the main manifestations. It is recommended to apply a thin layer on the acne area.

(2) Cedric acid

It is also a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Fusidic acid is a relatively new drug with a wide antibacterial spectrum, and is currently commonly used in the treatment of acne.

It should be noted that fusidic acid is a prescription drug, which needs to be prescribed by a doctor and can only be used under the guidance of a doctor. Don't use it casually. Generally speaking, these red, swollen and purulent acne have a great relationship with microorganisms. If the infection is serious to a certain extent, fusidic acid may become a good helper and can be used under the guidance of a doctor.

Category II: Sensitive Special Drugs

(1) Tacrolimus Putby

Tacrolimus was once a "magic medicine" in patients' minds to treat atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, hormone-dependent dermatitis, vitiligo and other immune-related diseases.

Tacrolimus ointment is a calcineurin inhibitor, a non-glucocorticoid external immunomodulator, and contains no hormone, which can not only replace the anti-inflammatory effect of hormone preparations, but also avoid the adverse reactions caused by long-term external hormone preparations. However, tacrolimus ointment can not be used for a long time, and it is dependent on excessive use, so it is very necessary to strictly follow the doctor's advice.

(2) Butyl Flufenamate Ointment

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have therapeutic effects on non-infectious subacute eczema, chronic eczema, chronic simple lichen and other skin diseases.

Category III: Special antipruritic drugs.

Many allergic diseases are prone to relapse, and it is difficult to achieve "one-step radical cure". Then when itching symptoms appear, it is very necessary for patients to actively use some antipruritic ointment to relieve symptoms and reduce scratching.

There are many antipruritic drugs, some of which directly relieve itching locally, such as some external preparations; Some have anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects, such as some internal medicines. Today, I only briefly introduce some commonly used external preparations for you.

Some volatile drugs, such as camphor, menthol, borneol, etc. When applied to skin, it has cooling and itching relieving effects by stimulating cold receptors in epidermis.

Lotion, also known as suspension (oscillator), is made of mild protective drugs such as calamine, zinc oxide and talcum powder. When it is used for some acute dermatitis and eczema, it can often obtain good anti-inflammatory and itching-relieving effects.

In addition, the treatment of some acute dermatitis with normal saline or ordinary water-cooled wet compress also has ideal anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects, which is convenient and safe without any side effects.

Cream and liniment made of glucocorticoid (such as hydrocortisone, dexamethasone, mometasone furoate, etc.). ) and some non-hormonal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as thiobenzamide and styrene butadiene alcohol). ) widely used in the treatment of various allergic skin diseases, through its powerful anti-inflammatory effect to achieve good itching effect. It should be noted that these preparations have certain adverse reactions and must be selected under the guidance of experts.

So much for the introduction of external ointment.

Say another word here. Introducing ointment is not for people to go to pharmacies or buy online for self-treatment, nor is it a guide to essential family medicine boxes at home. I hope everyone will never use it.
