Calmoseptine Ointment Tube, 4 Ounce

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.

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.

The delivery was not overnight, but it was still secure. The product is very good.

Very nice indeed. My hemorrhoids are nasty and that is the only thing that helps. Thank you to the poster who said it is good on insect bites too.

This stuff is awesome. I had a very bad intertrigo infection in the groin, around the tops of my legs and in one armpit that just would not clear up. It started with Hurricane Irma after being without AC for over six days and then working in the yard cleaning up debris. I had tried zinc oxide, Calamine, several kinds of OTC creams with antibacterial ingredients in them and some powder formulated for the purpose.....the rash would clear up a little bit, then come back with a vengeance. We are talking months of this misery and I was about to give up and see the doctor when I ran across this Calmoseptine Ointment on Amazon. I am SO happy I found it. A couple of days of use and the rash started to clear up. I still have just a little bit in one small area, but remember I live in a very humid climate. I am happy as a lark over the way this ointment has worked. As others have posted, it IS thick and difficult to wash off my fingers after applications, but that is a small price to pay for something that is so good. Zink oxide is thick and is probably the ingredient that is the culprit. The tube is going to have to be cut to get the residue out, but will just put it into a small jar. I will be reordering this, as I never want to be without it again.

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.

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.

Oh my goodness! I can't believe I'm about to talk about this on a public forum!! I was looking to buy a cream to treat a weird dermatitis issue on my forehead and saw a few reviews that mentioned this cream helping with that issue. I haven't used it on my forehead because when I opened it, it wasn't they type of cream you can just put on under makeup. Imagine that Desitin and Preparation H had a baby and this cream is the baby! It is the thick consistency of Desitin {but is pink in color instead of white} and has the menthol factor like Prep H or Vicks Vapo Rub. I didn't use it on my forehead like I planned, but holy hemorrhoid!! This stuff is amazing! It is the best thing I've ever used when having a hemorrhoid issue! It goes on like Desitin, but has a menthol/numbing factor that is amazing! It lasts for hours, too! So while that wasn't my intended use for this cream, it is definitely something I will always keep on hand!! It also helps if you have a skin rash or irritation on your body, so it is definitely multi-purpose! {obviously you don't apply it on a skin irritation at the same time you're using it on for your hemorrhoids! :) }
