Medline RemedyEssentials Zinc Oxide Skin Protectant Paste (4 oz Tube), Unscented, Barrier, Incontinence Cream, Diaper Rash, Adults, Elderly, Hypoallergenic, Paraben Free

This item really works! I've lost 180 pounds in the last 2 years and I have a lot of loose skin that has recently been irritated and itchy where the loose skin hangs down over my lady parts. This right here really works to protect the irritated area. This is something I will continue to get as long as I need it and will keep on hand for just in cases needs.

Cream was exceptional for easing hemmoroyd pain

This is something I think everyone should keep handy in their first aid kits.Nursing staff use this mostly for burns and bed sores. It really does protect injured skin to allow it heal and keep out debris. Also helps with immflamation.It is basically zinc oxide that swimmer also use on the beach as a sunburn remedy.

Got this for work to use on my residents this is the same kind the facility provides however my job has been being super frugal lately. I guess to cut costs but it works great overall.

Purchase in smaller tubes to avoid contamination inherent in a larger jar. Pretty decent product that works.

Good for treating bed sores and other skin conditions which need a protective moisture barrier film. This paste is very thick and a very little bit (pea sized) goes a long way. It should be spread onto the skin in a very thin film rather than a thick clump. If too much is applied, it just rubs right off. I learned this from a nurse who showed me how to to apply it to my wife's bedsores by sort of gently slapping it on in swipes side to side instead of simply rubbing it on. It is a great healing agent for burns, poison ivy and other skin problems. I'd strongly recommend having a tube or two in your medicine box.

Great as suntan lotion without the harsh chemicals

Although this product does not require a doctors prescription it was recommended by a wound care specialist MD. I broke my spine and was in the hospital and rehab for many months and developed bed sores that became difficult to heal, especially the several open soars on my butt. My PCP (primary care physician) referred me to the wound care specialist. He recommended this product 3 time per day and cover with a pad. After 2 weeks I returned to the Doc and the sores were almost healed. He recommended 2 more weeks. After the additional 2 weeks the sores were healed. I then changed to a different dressing and the skin was all cleared. The new dressing was purchased at Amazon.
