Crystaderm Cream (hydrogen peroxide) is a potent alternative to first aid creams containing antibiotics. It is effective at both treating and preventing bacterial infection, and, unlike antibiotic creams, provides additional protection against some viral and fungal infections.

People commonly buy Crystaderm Cream to treat:

• Acne
• Eczema
• Impetigo
• Insect bites or stings
• Body piercing sites
• Minor scrapes, cuts or burns
• Other minor wounds or skin infections

Hydrogen peroxide, the active ingredient in Crystaderm Cream, rapidly kills microorganisms sensitive to oxygen, including a wide range of bacteria as well as some strains of viruses and fungi.

In most areas patients can buy Crystaderm Cream without a prescription.

Benefits of Crystaderm Cream

Crystaderm Cream provides several benefits over similar products which contain antibiotics:

• There are no known bacteria that have developed resistance to hydrogen peroxide;
• Use of hydrogen peroxide will not contribute to the development of resistant bacteria;
• Hydrogen peroxide provides additional protection against some viral or fungal infections.

Because it is contained within a cream, the traditional negative effects of hydrogen peroxide---dry, irritated skin---are no longer a concern. This means patients can buy Crystaderm Cream to treat the face and other highly visible areas without fear of flaking, peeling or otherwise unsightly skin.

Other benefits of the cream versus similar products:

• Easy to apply and remove---doesn't leave greasy residue.
• Doesn't stain the skin like iodine or some other products.
• Much easier to handle as a cream than liquid hydrogen peroxide.
• Doesn't sting like treatments which contain alcohol.

Most importantly, Crystaderm Cream works---it offers lasting protection in an easy-to-apply cream that won't blemish the skin.

Using Crystaderm Cream

Patients who buy Crystaderm Cream to prevent infection on cuts, scrapes, mild burns and so forth can use the product like any other first aid cream; clean and dry the wound and apply a layer of cream. The application site can be covered with a dressing if desired, or left exposed. If exposed, cream may need to be applied 2 to 3 times per day; covered wounds may only need 1 application per day. Treatment may continue for up to 3 weeks; if the wound is not significantly healed, or there are signs of infection, a doctor should be consulted.

Those using Crystaderm Cream to treat an existing infection, such as impetigo, should follow doctor instructions if available. It is not unusual for multiple medications to be prescribed to treat an infection, or for specific instructions, such as leaving the area uncovered, to be given. Barring doctor instruction, use should be similar to that of infection prevention. Treatment may be extended beyond 3 weeks if there are significant improvements in an infection but it has not quite been eliminated.

How Not to Use Crystaderm Cream

For the most part Crystaderm Cream is a very safe treatment. There are, however, a few things to be avoided:

• Do not get the cream on hair, clothing, upholstery or other fabrics; it may cause bleaching. Quickly rinsing with cold water may prevent bleaching.
• Avoid getting the cream in mucous membranes, including eyes, nose, mouth, vagina and rectum. If contact does occur, quickly rinse with cold water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
• Do not use on deep wounds or large areas of the body.
• If infection develops or worsens during treatment, seek medical attention.
• Tubes should be replaced one month after being opened; the product will begin to lose potency.

Some patients experience a mild burning sensation when the cream is applied, usually less severe than that experienced with alcohol. This is not cause for concern unless severe or persistent.
