Consider the use of the drug in certain diseases.

Fungal infections

Infections caused by a fungus are contagious and very unpleasant diseases that require long-term treatment.

Sulfuric ointment from the fungus has established itself as an effective remedy, however, it is possible to achieve positive treatment with its help only at the very beginning of the disease or in its mild stages. In more complex cases, treatment should be comprehensive, including not only local preparations, but also drugs that fight the disease from the inside.

Quite often, sulfuric ointment is used for foot fungus. However, it should be noted several of its shortcomings in the fight against this disease:

• Is a strong allergen;
• Active only to some pathogenic fungi;
• Has an unpleasant smell.

Given these factors, before using the drug, it is necessary to take tests to identify the type of fungus that caused the disease. You also need to test for a possible manifestation of an allergy. It is done like this: spread a little of the drug on the skin of the inner part of the forearm. If after a few hours no visible changes are noted on the skin, you can safely use the product. Sulfur ointment for nail fungus is also widely used.

However, in order to achieve a good result, a number of rules should be followed during treatment:

1. Before applying the drug to the nail plate, it is necessary to steam the nails in a bath of warm water, to which soda is added. You can use baths based on other ingredients that we have described.
2. Dry your feet thoroughly with a towel.
3. The drug is applied to infected nails with a thin layer, carefully, but gently rubbing it.
4. Apply the drug for prevention and on healthy areas of the skin that are around the infected nail.
5. The nail is treated not only from all sides, but, if possible, the agent is placed under the nail plate.
6. In order for the preparation to remain on the nails for as long as possible, put on socks made of natural fabrics after treatment. If the fungus has affected the fingernails, bandage your finger.
7. Apply the remedy in the morning and evening.
8. You can not interrupt the treatment, despite its duration.
9. All tools used to apply the product must be disinfected after each use.

When treating nail fungus, it is important to remember that personal hygiene is the key to success in getting rid of pathogenic microorganisms.

Sulfur ointment is more suitable for use in the treatment of skin fungus than nails. In addition, it must be remembered that when prescribing the drug to children from 3 to 12 years old, treatment should take place under strict medical supervision. To treat a child, you can use a product with a lower concentration of sulfur in the composition of the ointment.

Given that sulfur is an excellent antiseptic, it is used in the treatment of lichen. This disease is very contagious, it manifests itself in the form of constantly itchy and flaky spots. Sulfuric ointment for lichen is a good remedy, however, to achieve the maximum effect in therapy, it should be combined with other drugs. Treatment is carried out within 10 days. The agent smears the infected areas of the skin with a thin layer.
