Dermatological diseases are a problem for many people. Some people don’t know how to get rid of pimples on their face, others suffer from more serious pathologies. There are a lot of options for solving them, you just need to choose the most suitable one for yourself.
External use products are very popular in the fight against skin defects. They do not cause pain and can be used independently at home, since the instructions are simple and do not require special skills. One of these drugs is Metrogyl gel. This is a fairly effective remedy that is prescribed to treat a variety of skin diseases.
Description and composition
The active ingredient of the drug is metronidazole, which is an imidazole derivative. Additional components of the composition are: disodium edetate, propylene glycol, propyl parahydroxybenzoate, methyl parahydroxybenzoate, purified water and sodium hydroxide. The gel has a yellowish color or colorless , its consistency is homogeneous. Available in aluminum tubes with a volume of 30 g. In addition to the gel, there is a product in the form of an injection solution and tablets.
The product has antimicrobial, antiprotozoal, and mild antioxidant effects. Widely used to treat acne . When used externally, it is evenly distributed on the skin and is absorbed into the bloodstream in small quantities.
Some classify the drug as an antibiotic, since it has an antibacterial effect, but it would be more correct to consider it a bacteriostatic drug.
Metrogyl for the treatment of acne in the form of a mask
An excellent effect is noticeable when using the drug as a component of a mask; to prepare it you will need:
- White clay;
- A teaspoon of gel;
- Some warm water.
Now all these components must be mixed together and applied to previously cleansed skin for ten to fifteen minutes. After time has passed, rinse with water. We recommend using this mask no more than 2 times a week. This will help reduce inflammation and redness. It is important to apply this mask only to the area of inflammation, locally, and not to healthy skin.
Indications for use
Metrogyl gel is indicated for various infectious pathologies of the skin:
- Used to eliminate vulgar acne.
- Effectively eliminates rosacea, which causes hormonal imbalance in the body.
- Included in complex therapy for bedsores of varying severity.
- Indicated for seborrheic dermatitis and oily seborrhea caused by increased sebum production.
- Long-term non-healing wounds and ulcerative lesions of the epidermis respond well to treatment with this drug.
- It can even be used for the treatment of trophic ulcers that form as a result of pathology of the vessels of the lower extremities, caused by diseases such as diabetes mellitus, varicose veins, obliterating endarteritis.
Contraindications and side effects
Metronidazole is a potent substance, so the drug has contraindications that must be taken into account before using it:
- The drug is not prescribed to patients with liver failure.
- It is prohibited for treatment in the first trimester of pregnancy, as well as during breastfeeding.
- Neurological diseases, for example, epilepsy, will also be a contraindication.
- Individual intolerance to the main component of the gel.
- Not used in the treatment of children under 12 years of age.
- The drug is contraindicated in patients with leukopenia.
A mandatory condition during Metrogyl therapy is a complete abstinence from drinking alcoholic beverages.
Adverse reactions
When used externally, the drug is well tolerated and rarely causes adverse reactions . If the gel gets into the gastrointestinal tract, it is necessary to lavage the stomach and take activated charcoal. Contacting a medical institution is mandatory.
Local side effects are manifested by redness of the skin, itching and small rashes.
In rare cases, allergic urticaria develops. Contact with the eyes is accompanied by burning and lacrimation.
Complications also arise with simultaneous treatment with Metrogyl and drugs with an anticoagulant effect, cimetidine.

Gel analogues
The medicine has several analogues that have a similar effect on the body:
- The drug Metronidazole has similar medicinal properties and the same active substance. Available in the form of a solution for intravenous infusion, vaginal cream and suppositories, and there is also a cream and gel for external use. It has a wide range of applications and is not recommended for self-treatment.
- The antifungal agent Rozex is available in the form of a gel and cream for external application. The main indication for its use is rosacea. It differs from previous pharmacological agents in the duration of the therapeutic course, which is at least three months.
- Rozamet ointment is almost identical in composition to Metrogil. Indicated for various dermatological pathologies, including infectious eczema. During the treatment course, it is necessary to avoid direct sunlight on the skin.
- The antiprotozoal drug Metroseptol is applied to the skin in a thin layer twice a day. The course of treatment is 3−8 weeks. It practically does not cause adverse reactions and can be prescribed while taking antibiotics.
Metrogyl gel, like its analogues, has proven itself in getting rid of rashes of various etiologies. However, you should not use it without medical prescription.

In this topic we have already written about Lida Aleksanyan’s ointment. This ointment is simply magical, it helps with all the nastiness on the face and wrinkles too. I always have this ointment at home - Lida’s daughter, Laura, is now taking it there.
One serving costs 4 thousand rubles, but only this ointment saves when nothing else helps. Eniom Center on Krasnobogatyrskaya. Today I also bought a tincture there for women’s diseases.
This is not an advertisement, I just want to help those who have no hope for pharmacy ointments.

In the treatment of seborrhea, different things help everyone, because the causes of seborrhea are different for everyone... there is no single panacea for everyone. For mild disorders in the body, proper nutrition and a gentle work regime, vacation at sea or at a sanatorium will help.
For more severe disorders, proper nutrition is not enough; treatment is needed, sometimes for a very long time. ...and yes, with severe seborrhea, the advice of medically ignorant users will not help you...
Don’t lose hope, make it a habit to take care of your health always, and not when the disease has already arrived.
Konstantin.
Where did they write? What kind of ointment is it, and what does it help with, and who did it help with? Otherwise, it’s very abstract for all diseases.
Sergey
Kostya is healthy) How are you? Are you turning everything down?
Konstantin.
Hello. Yes, I’m muting it. Now I smear myself with apple cider vinegar, after it I apply YAM BK. It helps, but not for long, when without vinegar I smeared it for 10 days, rested for 5 days, but on the 4th day it started to turn red, now I’ll see how it goes with vinegar. And I bought bifosin ointment. Damn already I’m at a dead end/I don’t know what to do. How are you???
Sergey
Also, everything, like I smeared with cream, I smear it, if you don’t apply it for two days, on the third day you will immediately regret that you didn’t smear it) In general, this is p.de/c, and p./c/dets cannot be cured.
Konstantin.
Greetings Sergey. Where else can I talk to you?
Natalia
Good evening! I have been suffering from this infection for more than six months. Who hasn't been to allergologists and dermatologists? Among the latter are doctors with titles and ordinary ones. But nothing has helped yet. Tell me the doctor who helped you. Otherwise I'm just in despair.
Konstantin.
Isn’t it on VKontakte or classmates? Or send me an email if possible.

I read the whole thread. What struck you? People here write nothing helps me, these remedies only cover up the problems.
Has anyone been treated according to the classic world treatment regimen for seborrheic dermatitis on the face? If the diagnosis is correctly established, then: 1) if there is inflammation, severe redness for 5-6 days, in the morning - Advantan, in the evening Nizoral cream. 2) if it is just peeling, in the morning - Metrogyl gel, in the afternoon - wipe with 2% Salicylic acid, in the evening - Nizoral cream.
Treatment is long-term, Metrogyl up to 3-***** months, Nizoral up to 2-***** months. The effectiveness of treatment is checked after a month of using these products. There’s no need to quit after a week and say that this doesn’t suit me. Seborrheic dermatitis, although difficult, can be treated. 2) take vitamins Aevit and Nicotinic acid orally for a month.
2 weeks of antihistamines to remove itching and redness. 3) seborrheic dermatitis is not associated with stomach problems or food. Of course, Helicobacter and E. coli need treatment, but the dermatologist who associates them with our problem is wrong.
As for food, it should not be hot and spicy, so as not to cause blood flow to the face and irritate inflamed skin. 5) you should not go to the sauna, gym, sweat less, sweat is an irritant. Washing your face with water as little as possible tightens the skin. This is such a simple but long-lasting classic treatment. Good luck and patience everyone!
Sergey
I very much doubt that this won’t be just another muffler, but you can try the first scheme and the second, what’s inside. Nizoral - 2 months, and Advantan for how long?, I hope not hormonal

Greetings to all of you, red-faced friends! Once upon a time I was pale-faced, but now I, too, have become red-faced or red-spotted! So, take me into your ranks. True, I haven’t visited a dermatologist yet, but apparently it’s time.
I have a question: - is it possible that this is not seborrheic dermatitis?? My changes on the face are redness on opposite sides of the nose, redness has spread to the forehead, redness under the nose and it all peels off.
Isho, white flakes live on my head and don’t go away, tssuki (for six years now) Or could it be another infection??

Hello everyone again. I can’t help but be happy with the shampoo I wrote about. The skin on your face is perfectly clean. I use it once every two days. After 2 years on skin cap, this is the main discovery for me.
I took tests: urine, blood - as healthy as an ox, but the feces were not all right, they made a conclusion: “There are changes in the intestinal microbiocenosis, a decrease in bifido-lactoflora, the presence of hemolytic Escheria.” They prescribed a course of treatment for a month. It’s hard to believe that it will help, but I will fight this infection.
In addition to this, I follow a healthy diet and do fitness. I am very glad that I found a remedy for the outbreaks outside, now the most important thing is to kill the infection inside.
