Every now and then my 2 year old will get a terrible diaper rash - nothing severe that his skin bleeds but enough so that it is uncomfortable for him and his little bum turns red. I have tried other rash creams before and had one that did work to keep the rashes away if I used it at every diaper change - but wouldn't really help much once he had a rash to clear it up. Well, he had a pretty bad looking rash and I wanted something that would help clear it up fast and provide some comfort while soothing his skin. I came across this one and at first thought it wasn't going to work - so many others hadn't worked in the past. This cream is thick and I do mean it takes a little effort to squeeze it out of the tube, thick. It's pink in color and has an odd smell. So far it hasn't stained my sons clothes and I used disposable diapers, not cloth but he likes to squeeze the tube while I am changing him and rub the cream on his shirt. The first night after my sons bath I put some of this one him and a little does go a long way. That next morning the rash was starting to go down some. I kept applying at each diaper change, noticing that the cream wasn't coming off much - which is a wonderful thing if you want skin protection from wetness. By the 3rd day the rash was gone. I am amazed at how well this stuff works and how fast. I have another rash cream that is runny and doesn't stay on the skin between diaper changes - didn't clear up his rashes before very fast. And then I have this rash cream, which is very thick and stays on between diaper changes and did clear up his rash very quickly. Hands down this is the rash cream that I am going to keep on hand for every diaper change and for the little rashes that pop up on occasion. Read more
Calmoseptine ointment is good for this place (pressure sore?) my husband has been getting above his behind for some time, now. It goes away and comes back. When he was in the hospital a couple of years ago, they gave him balsam Peru for it and it has worked well, too. Before that, though, the place had come back and I did some searching and found this product. It worked really well. So, here we are and the spot, really tiny, almost like a pimple, he says, has come back. He is using this again and it is going away again. This is a generous 4 ounce tube of ointment for only $7.22. I will definitely keep this on hand. Read more
This barrier ointment is without competition! Skin heals well, and areas peripheral to the wound bed are protected from breaking down when there is drainage from the wound. Hospitals have replaced this with a much cheaper, lesser quality skin barrier ointment, so we bring our own!! I have been a long-time caregiver (15 years) to 3 disabled family members. Medical professionals could hardly believe how healthy their high risk areas of skin were, when examined. I share this information with every caregiver. Read more
Avoid Bed Soars! I have been using this on my dad in order to help avoid bed soars. I am thankful for this high quality product, since as anyone who has had to deal with caring for a loved one's bed soars can tell you...... they are time consuming and Expensive! This product is worth every cent. (My Dad spends a lot of time on his recliner & wheelchair. He can move, but cannot walk. So he is able to do his exercises in his recliner.) I use this product liberally & make sure to apply to any bony area that may cause a bed soar on his bottom area. I apply it at every diaper change. His home care nurse suggested the product to us after he got his 1st bed soar & he has not had a bed soar since. Read more
Can’t praise this product enough! My sister sent me my first tube. I passed it on to a grandmother at the pool who was stressing out about allergic reactions of granddaughter. Made granddaughter’s visit a happy occasion. My grandson came to visit covered in mosquito bites. Applied cream and all but two bites were gone. He asked for more on them at breakfast. Gone by lunchtime. This works on all have allergies to mosquitoes, horse flies… Daughter in law uses for diaper rash now. Thank you to creator of this project. It made going outside possible. Purchased the little packets for my purse and to add to camping first aid. Read more
We purchased this as a Molluscum treatment after much research. We saw no improvement whatsoever for Molluscum- more still sprang up every few days. However it's fantastic for diaper rash and urine scald. We've used several other remedies for Molluscum. Lemon Balm ointment, a Molluscum type of chapstick, different oils mixed in with Camphophenique and Bag Balm, a prescription cream from Dr etc etc. Zymaderm was recommended by another DR so we ordered it and tried it. It did seem to slow the spreading. Dabbing it on each bump (probably 40 or 50 of them on his legs and one on his arm) morning and night is time consuming for a busy 6 year old. After almost 3 weeks not much improvement. Bathing in essential oils and epson salts with tea tree oil (if you mix the oil with epson salts first they absorb in the tub water instead of floating on top if not mixed first). Since we use Nu Stock (either Pierce's Nu Stock or Durvet Nu Stock they're the same) I decided to try it one night. Dabbing a bit on each bump with a q tip. The next morning they were down 30 to 50%. The tiniest ones could no longer be felt! Did again the next morning and they are all down at least 50% with no new bumps. Nu Stock is safe for all species (even cats!) and works well on humans. Smells strongly of sulfur but with the disappearing bumps you won't mind at all! If you know anyone with livestock ask for a shot glass full- or just buy it. It's 17.99 for like a pound container on Amazon or a little less at Tractor Supply. Best thing I've seen after months and months of fighting it and buying all sorts of expensive "remedies" that failed. Read more
