Acne Levomekol

If you do not pass acne, including purulent ones, experts recommend using Levomekol ointment to treat skin inflammations. As clinical practice shows, Levomekol for acne is one of the best and most effective treatments for any negative manifestations of this kind that occur on the surface of the skin. But, before you start using medicinal ointment, you need to find out about its positive and negative properties, as well as indications and contraindications.  

The basis of the composition of the ointment Levomekol

The composition of the drug is not complicated. And this is one of its advantages, since in the event of an allergic reaction, it will be quite easy to find out its cause without resorting to various kinds of laboratory tests.

The basis of Levomekol are chloramphenicol (the main component) and methyluracil (auxiliary component). The polymer base is polyethylene oxide, which gives the ointment the necessary consistency, absorbs and removes toxins from the skin. Thanks to this composition, Levomekol from acne has a strong antibacterial effect, is perfectly absorbed into the skin and quickly destroys any acne. That is, the drug initially eliminates the infection, which, in fact, is the most likely cause of inflammation.  

In addition to antibacterial properties, Levomekol has other useful properties:

· Stops the process of inflammation

· Removes pus

· Reduces swelling of skin tissue

· Restores damaged tissue

· Smoothes out irregularities of the skin and gives it a healthy color

Since Levomekol shows high effectiveness in the treatment of acne and, at the same time, is readily available, the drug can be attributed to the most popular acne and acne remedies.

Ways of application. Indications and contraindications

Difficulties in the use of Levomekol almost never arise: a small amount of ointment is simply applied pointwise to individual acne. To enhance the effect, it is recommended to glue the focus of inflammation, covered with a medicine, a band-aid and leave it overnight.

It should be remembered: the ointment can not be applied to intact skin for prevention. Since Levomekol for acne is used as a medicine, it is necessary to use it only in case of acne and acne. Other means can be used to prevent the occurrence of inflammatory processes on the skin. For example, masks containing lemon juice and clay. To cleanse problem skin – an oatmeal mask with strawberries.  

One of the disadvantages of the ointment is the low effectiveness of its effect on acne in case of frequent use. In addition, it is not recommended to apply too thick a layer of Levomekol on the foci of inflammation, since such use of the drug is considered improper and can also be addictive.

If the use of the drug has caused an allergic reaction (swelling, rash, itching), it is advisable to continue treatment with other agents. In the absence of positive results, it is allowed to return to Levomekol again.

Contraindications to the use of the drug are:

  • Pregnancy
  • Lactation
  • Hypersensitivity of the skin to the components contained in the ointment

With the manifestation of negative symptoms, it is desirable to change the treatment regimen and choose another remedy.

Important! To solve acne problems, you need to abandon bad habits, carry out permanent skin care and conduct timely treatment.
In addition, you should not abuse the independent use of Levomekol preliminary consultation of a dermatologist is not only desirable, but also necessary.
