Ointment for allergies based on hormones

Hormonal ointment from allergies contains in its composition a different amount of the hormone. The higher the percentage of content of the hormonal basis, the faster the "healing" effect. The fact that allergic skin rashes, are removed with strong hormonal ointments for 1-3 days, depending on the degree of severity of the rash. However, the removal of external signs is not a complete recovery. Temporal remission of symptoms leads, after a while, to relapse, sometimes with a more progressive manifestation.

Another variant of the development of events, involving a long application of an incorrectly selected hormonal ointment, is destructive changes in the structure of the skin. Removing the external symptoms, ointment from allergies, acts on the skin cells depressingly, leading, over time, to a complete reorganization of their life cycle. The skin on the face and hands becomes excessively dry, prone to frequent cracks and pustular infections, or coarsens, until the scar tissue is formed.

To avoid such troubles, hormonal ointments should be used very carefully, as a pre-hospital care, if a safer method of alleviating the situation, before meeting with a doctor, is not possible. Or you need to start treatment with a less powerful hormone drug, gradually moving to a stronger one. After reaching the desired therapeutic effect, again go to a less strong hormonal ointment. Ointment for allergies is used, most often, on the skin of the face and hands. Knowing the possibility of developing negative processes in these areas, in response to the action of hormonal drugs, is it worthwhile moving oneself to such a risk as an independent selection of medicines?

Speaking about the benefits of hormonal ointments, it should be noted that their anti-inflammatory effect is also of great importance in the treatment of allergic rashes. Combing the skin leads to the appearance of small cracks and wounds, through which, as through the open gate, quickly penetrates the pathogenic microflora, causing infectious infection. Because of what on the skin there are pustules, sores, which soon either become covered with a crust, or continue to "wet". The use of hormonal ointments helps to avoid such harmful consequences.

Non-hormonal ointment from allergies

Non-hormonal ointment from allergies gives a positive and visible effect not as fast as its hormonal counterparts, and they have no serious side effects. Although it is not necessary to exclude the development of individual intolerance to any component that is part of the ointment.

Ointment from allergies, which does not contain a hormone in its composition, can be based on homeopathic collection. In this case, you need to know exactly what type of allergic disease is to be treated. Herbs are not always as safe as many people mistakenly believe. In the case when the body is sensitive to pollen allergens (referring to plant pollen), the herbal remedy ointment may be more harmful than useful.

This also applies to a cross-allergic reaction, when, against the background of a sharp sensitivity to an allergen of one group, a violent response to another allergen, entering into a different category, is attached. For example, with food allergies, an allergy to the drug develops at the same time, or if there is an allergy to the coat of pets, an allergy to the broth of the turn or celandine joins.

Having made a decision to independently select a therapeutic ointment, without reliance on a doctor's consultation, carefully read the instructions to the drugs. "Safe ointment from allergies" in its composition may not be very effective in a particular case. Long use of such an ointment can lead to an empty loss of time and, as a result, to aggravation of the situation.

Non-hormonal ointment for allergies is most indicated to pregnant women and small children. Pregnant women, faced with the problem of allergy, are forced to fight only with her symptoms. Treatment of the underlying cause of an allergic reaction, it is necessary to postpone until the baby's birth, in order not to cause harm in its intrauterine development.

Allergic children are constantly shielded from "meeting" with the allergen. This is the most effective method, both prevention and treatment of allergies. Eliminating contact with an allergen reduces the intensity of allergy symptoms within a few hours. Ointment from allergies is used to eliminate skin manifestations and alleviate the situation, in combination with other medicines aimed at stopping the underlying cause of the disease.

Combined ointment for allergy

In some cases, it is advisable to use combined ointments, which, in addition to hormones, include antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-trichomonadic components. To recognize the sale of combined ointments can be by the presence of an alphabet attachment to the main name, for example, "Frucinar-H", indicates that the hormonal ointment includes neomycin (antibiotic). However, this principle is not the only one. Many ointments go under a special brand, which contains only the main name and before purchase, you need to carefully study the main composition.

A useful recommendation

Each time, when introducing a new ointment from an allergy, make a test for individual sensitivity, applying a small amount of ointment on the back of the forearm, closer to the palm of your hand. If within fifteen minutes the skin, at the place of application, remains unchanged, you can safely use this drug in other parts of the body. Conversely, if immediately after application or after some time, a burning sensation is felt and the entire area of the skin, lubricated with ointment, is dyed pink or red, it is necessary to immediately rinse the ointment from allergies and to abandon its further application.

Any drug, in whatever form it is produced, is a substance alien to the body that can exert not only the effect, with the purpose of achieving which it was developed, but also cause unpredictable behavior of the organism. Ointment from allergies should not be taken as a completely innocuous substance that helps cope with the appearance of the rash.
