Protection for the whole family. Antibacterial ointments, sprays and creams

Summer is the time of outdoor games and entertainment. What could be better than a big and noisy company to go out of town for fragrant and tasty shish kebabs? Or the whole family to get out to the dacha, breathe in full fresh tart air. Beauty, and only.

However, with the advent of this truly remarkable time of the year, there arises one extremely pressing problem that every person faces from time to time. Various abrasions and cuts, other damage to the skin - this is the prerogative of not only hyperactive kids, but also business adults who at last allowed themselves, for example, to ride a bicycle or roller skates. One awkward movement, and now you are sitting at best on the lawn and rubbing the bruised place. At worst, you wipe the blood from an erased palm about inhospitable asphalt. It is very important, in this case, to treat the wound in time with a means that will create a protective barrier for those who are penetrating into the organism of pathogenic bacteria. Every lover of active rest must have an antibacterial spray, a cream or a special ointment. But what means to choose for a first aid kit? Let's figure it out.

Antibacterial ointments

Such funds are available at pharmacy counters at any time of the year, and by the summer they practically displace most of the other drugs. If your opinion has stopped at that department of the pharmaceutical station in which antibacterial ointments are sold, then, first of all, pay attention to the composition, which must be completely indicated on the package. Pay special attention to the active ingredient. It must necessarily produce an antibiotic effect. This is very important, in addition to all the aseptic ingredients that have a cauterizing effect and only accompany the rapid healing of the wound. As an example, you can name an ointment like "Bactroban." It contains mupirocin, which is an excellent protection against bacteria and microbes. In this case, antibacterial ointments that have this substance in their composition can be applied directly to the damaged area, because they will be poorly absorbed through the entire skin. This component is rapidly excreted from the body, not staying there for a long time, which is also very important.

Antibacterial cream

Means of this class usually have a slightly different application, which should be remembered if you are considering as a possible purchase cream and antibacterial ointments. The fact is that they are mainly intended for application to the skin of the face with the aim of drying out the already existing inflammations, and also preventing potential ones. They do not have such an active antibacterial effect, since they are not aimed at treating fresh wounds. They usually include various medicinal plants that regulate the sebum secretion and ensure the purity of pores (for example, birch, tea tree). Creams are usually included in cosmetics.

Antibacterial spray

This is an analogue of an ointment, only is available in a more convenient form. The spray will not spread in the bag and will not contaminate its contents. However, it should be remembered that these cans should be stored away from direct sunlight and strong heat. Sprays usually contain more alcohol, which provides a good disinfection of the wound. Good representatives of such products include trademarks AURA and Cotton Club, which, despite the relatively high price, are a reliable protection against infection and further suppuration of the wound.

Whatever you choose as a result for protection, remember that such funds must be purchased exclusively in pharmacies. Violation of the terms or conditions of storage may cause damage to health.
