Re: nails & skin - Hibiclens

[Guest guest]

Steve,

Would you please tell me more...do you still have to use this Hibiclens? Did

your outbreak disappear gradually and how long did it last?

Thanks,

My PCP recommended Hibiclens last year. It is a red-colored

cleansing solution in an aqua bottle. Physicians use it to disinfect

their hands, even before surgery. Does wonders in reducing the

frequency of pimpling and of getting rid more quickly of those that

do appear. About $20 for a quart. You scrub the affected areas well

with it. Read the label. Do not get near mucous membranes. After

using your washcloth with Hibiclens , do not launder it with chlorine

bleach, else it will become permanently discolored.

YMMV,

Steve

I transfer smaller amounts from the quart bottle to a pump-bottle

(you can buy smaller bottles of Hibiclens, but they are not good

economically) that I keep in the shower, and I use it on places where

breakouts occur most frequently, e.g., the back of my neck, just about

every day. I treat other places when things get dicey there.

I also use an antibacterial soap (such as Dial) for the rest of my

washing in the shower.

Each one is different, and then tend to come back sooner or

later--I think that they are caused by staphylococcus bacteria

that just will not die away totally. The Hibiclens is the most

effective zit-fighter that I have used to date, however.

YMMV,

Steve

Yay! I've finally found a use for that huge bottle of hibiclens I

had to buy to shower with pre-op. Thanks! i hadn't even thought to

try that on my little bumps all over my forehead.
