Zinc oxide ointment-a good helper in dermatology!

The active ingredient of zinc oxide ointment is zinc oxide, which can have astringent and protective effects when used on the skin. This medicine is very safe and does not contain hormones, so it can be used with confidence whether it is a baby, pregnant woman or the elderly.

It is often used clinically to prevent and assist in the treatment of acute or subacute dermatitis, eczema and mild diaper dermatitis. such as:

1. In summer, the neck, armpits, and thighs have a lot of sweat, and the erythema and irritation caused by sweat;

2. Subacute eczema;

3. Baby diaper rash;

That is to say, in the case of a small area of skin damage, whether it is a wound, slight exudation, eczema or blisters, zinc oxide ointment can be applied to protect the damaged skin and promote skin healing.

However, it should be noted that it is not suitable to use when there is a large area of exudate. Creams are generally thicker and will form a protective film on the surface of the skin, but this will also prevent the exuding of the skin from flowing out. Although zinc oxide itself has a little astringent effect, if the skin has a large amount of exudate, the exudate will be blocked by the zinc oxide ointment, which will affect the healing of the skin. Therefore, zinc oxide ointment should not be the first choice when there is a large area of exudation.
