In what cases should I not over or use hormonal ointments?

Hormone ointment should not be used for dermatologic conditions: acne; viral infectious skin diseases (chicken pox, rashes, etc.); parasitic skin diseases such as trichinella dermatitis, scabies, and other parasitic skin diseases.
It is not advisable to use hormone ointment situations:Infants and children have a relatively large body surface area and are more sensitive to hormones than adults, therefore, infants and children should not use hormone creams as much as possible. Elderly skin disease patients with chronic diseases should be cautious of hormone creams, especially hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, epilepsy and psychiatric patients, especially should not be too much use of hormone creams. Pregnant women often combined with skin diseases, such as pregnancy herpes, pregnancy itchy rash, pregnancy itchy urticaria, etc., the course of the disease can last several months, the condition can be relieved after delivery. Therefore, pregnant women, especially in early pregnancy, should be prohibited from using hormone creams.

How much ointment is the right amount to squeeze at a time?

Depending on the size of the patient's lesions, the amount of cream to be applied varies. Usually, the amount of ointment squeezed from the end of the first knuckle of the index finger to the tip of the fingertip unit is the amount of ointment, and these ointments are suitable for lesions on 2 palms of the hand. You can adjust the amount of ointment according to the size of your lesions. Note: If the ointment is still visible on the surface of the skin after application, it means that the dosage is too much.

How long should I not use the hormone ointment over?

General hormone ointment can be used 1-2 times a day, not more, because 1-2 times can achieve the therapeutic effect, the number of times will not enhance the therapeutic effect, but increase the side effects. Usually after the rash subsides, the drug should be discontinued, but it is best to discontinue the drug intermittently, first every other day a small amount of use, then every other day, then every other day, and then every other day, and so on, and so on, gradually discontinue the drug, such as stopping the drug suddenly, can increase the chances of recurrence or rebound. The total use of time, hormone ointment general use time should not exceed 3 weeks to a month, did not see improvement, timely consultation!

Topical corticosteroids are highly effective and safe, and are commonly used pharmaceutical dosage forms for dermatologic conditions. Corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, immunosuppressive and anti-proliferative effects, and may also induce or aggravate local infections and other adverse reactions. The following editorial will take you to understand the use of topical glucocorticoids and precautions:

I. Intensity of action classification

A 4-tiered classification is commonly used in clinical practice, which are super potent, potent, intermediate and weak. Ultra-potent and potent hormones are mostly used for severe and hypertrophic skin lesions. Such as super potent 0.05% clobetasol propionate ointment, etc., strong such as halometasone cream, etc.; intermediate potency hormone such as 0.1% hydrocortisone butyrate ointment is suitable for mild to moderate skin; weak potency hormone 0.05% dieneder cream, etc., is suitable for mild and moderate skin lesions.

II. Methods of use

Treatment begins with the selection of hormones of appropriate strength applied continuously until symptoms are controlled. Dermatitis and eczema usually control symptoms within 1-2 weeks. If the efficacy is unsatisfactory after 2 weeks, in addition to considering whether the strength of the hormone is sufficient, it is also necessary to consider the diagnosis, whether there is a co-infection, whether there is an allergy to the hormone used and compliance. It is usually used 1-2 times per day and should not be used too often. Each time, from a tube of ointment with an internal diameter of 5 mm point, a length of ointment is squeezed from the tip of the index finger to the distance between the transverse lines of the distal interphalangeal joints, which is about 0,5 g. It can be applied uniformly to the palms of the hands bilaterally, and the dosage of the medicine for the corresponding lesions can be deduced from this.

III. Precautions

The use of topical corticosteroids should not be discontinued abruptly, but should be replaced with a less potent corticosteroid for a period of time or with a non-hormonal preparation, with a gradual reduction in dosage. Long-term use of these drugs should be avoided, regardless of the patient's age. It is recommended that the use of hormone ointment should be closely watched for adverse reactions, the use of strong, super-strength hormone every 2 weeks to check once, medium-effect hormone 3-4 weeks to check once, weak hormone every 4-6 weeks to check once, and to observe whether there are local and systemic adverse reactions.

The authoritative interpretation of Pharmaceutical Affairs, unauthorized reproduction, plagiarism will be punished.

How are hormonal ointments used in the treatment of eczema in children?

The dosage measurement of hormone ointment is generally based on 1 fingertip unit (FTU, the amount of ointment squeezed out of a 5-mm ID tube to the length of the distance from the tip of the index finger to the transverse line of the distal interphalangeal joint) of approximately 0.5 g to estimate the amount of medication to be used for the lesion site.

A dosage of 1 fingertip unit (FTU) corresponds to an area of eczema roughly the size of the palm surface of two adult hands, and it is recommended that parents convert the approximate dosage of medication their child will need based on this area;

When a child develops a rash with a combination of: redness, itching, flaking/blistering/chafing/papules, and two or more of these three conditions are indications for the use of a hormone cream; when only one of these conditions is present, a moisturizer is often sufficient.

Hormone ointment should be used 1-2 times a day, and should not be used too often, even the British guidelines for atopic dermatitis that: there is no evidence-based medical evidence to prove that 2 times a day is better than 1 time a day, and the more often you use it, the more adverse effects are bound to increase, so the recommendation is that topical glucocorticosteroids can be used 1 time a day.

The total amount of use, in principle, the total amount of hormone ointment used for eczema in infants should not exceed 15g/month, and children should not exceed 30g/month.

What parents also need to know about the efficacy of hormones that
Avoid strong-potency hormone ointments in children. Medium-potency hormones should not be used for more than 2 weeks in a row in children; group-potency hormones are preferred. Follow your doctor's recommendation to use a different potency depending on the severity of the eczema.

Hormone ointment should be used in intervals with skin creams, and try to use skin creams first before applying hormone ointment. Skin creams should be used for 30 minutes before hormone ointment is applied.

Recently, I saw a lot of girls complaining about these ointments on Xiaohongshu, saying that the hormones are bad for the face and allergies, excuse me, Miss, are you sure that your dosage and usage are correct? If the creams are bad for your face then why do hospitals prescribe them? I'm really tired of seeing some bloggers write nonsense and some ladies to face to try the law, today to these small creams to correct the name, by the way, po about the correct usage.

When applying the amount of half the size of the pimple can be squeezed, do not paste in the pimple, be sure to wipe it away. Once I painted a hard red pimple, painted the next day after the pimple has become bigger, and later realized that this is in the ripening, only to let the pimple to send out in order to completely eliminate, otherwise the root of the pimple will be left in the dermis, the pimple will be repeated to grow non-stop!

If your nose will always have that kind of unintentional itching, and then extruded blackheads are long spiral, generally is the mite blackheads, metronidazole gel is morning and evening can be used, the morning with a thin layer of cleansing after cleansing, and so on the gel absorbed and then wipe the skincare products, the evening with the words I usually wash my face spray a spray, and then directly paste a thick pile in the nose, and other skincare products are not used.

Trying to put a face to the Vitamin A cream! It's not a hormone cream, it's good for keratinization and chicken skin, and I've seen a lot of people applying a thin layer of it? It sounds horrible. Why should you apply it in layers when it's so irritating and not a skincare product? The correct way to use it is to dip a cotton swab into it and apply it little by little, especially for the keratosis pilaris under the eyes. After applying it, you don't need to wash your face, so apply it after your sensitive skin care, and feel free to apply it to your normal skin.

6, Bafupine scar removal cream - acne marks

Acne marks than acne is much more difficult to get rid of, even if the first time to wipe the scar cream to lighten, but also to have a week or so face to clean, Bafuping Scar Cream is my use of Xubi, cumulus glycosides and times Shu scar summed up after the effect of the best one, coated with the time to remember two things: the first is not to rub after drying, and the second is the next time coated with the time to be sure to use a wet paper towel to the last time to wipe off the film, or else Scar removal cream can not penetrate into the effect of the

7, fusidic acid - acne

The effect of fusidic acid to get rid of acne is really very good, but it really belongs to the antibiotic, after using more than one will have drug resistance, so generally use a week if there is no effect then hurry to stop it! Fusidic acid can be used with minocycline anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs can help inhibit acne, fusidic acid twice a day in the morning and evening, wash your face directly after rubbing the drug, wipe the water milk to avoid the drug around!

8, Scargel medical silicone gel - hyperplastic scars

This is the scar removal cream I used after I had my eyelids done last year, and it's been great for preventing scarring and fading hyperplasia! I used it for about three months on my fully cut eyes and there was no trace left. My mom said that this scar cream and the United States of America Barker is the same, the same are the United States imported silicone dressings, only because of an imported goods a domestic so the difference in price is relatively large, the money is not a lot of girls really do not need to spend five or six hundred pursuit of Barker!

11. Clindamycin - ruptured mouth acne

It is definitely correct to apply clindamycin to a pimple that has been squeezed! Just squeezed a pimple thick layer of clindamycin, can be used to anti-inflammatory sedation, usually smeared on 2 days in the pimple in the white stuff on their own, but do not recommend long-term use, there will be drug-resistant, at the same time, sensitive skin is not recommended to use!

13, Erythromycin ointment - bacterial acne

It should be the cheapest acne ointment for pimples, pimples and acne caused by bacteria. This ointment is cheap but it is antibiotic, which means you can't use it all the time, and if you use too much of it, it will be ineffective as well. In addition to pimples, you can also use this cream for chapped lips. Put a layer of this cream before going to bed, and you will recover overnight!
