CHAMBER WITH LEVOMYCETIN AND SALICYLIC ACID - can it be taken at the same time (compatibility)

Problematic skin means constant worries and a search for a product that can not only eliminate the problem, but also prevent its subsequent manifestation.

A mash with chloramphenicol and salicylic acid will help in the fight against rashes, the use of which has virtually no contraindications or adverse reactions.

What it is

Chatterbox deals with various inflammations in problem areas of the skin. In addition, this particular product copes with skin problems such as teenage acne.

Due to all these and many other points, chatterbox can be considered in some cases a much more effective and high-quality product than the products and drugs that are advertised in various media.

However, it is important to note that only a qualified dermatologist can determine the optimal dosage, composition and methods of using the drug.

Creation Basics

What is a chatterbox? In ordinary language, these are mixed substances, which in turn form synergy (thereby increasing their effectiveness).

By and large, everyone knows that Zinerit is also a chatterbox, only the name is different :), and you know what the price of this drug is, and the chatterbox costs a penny.

Modern marketing does not stand still; thanks to competent advertising, absolutely everything can be sold tens of times more expensive. Well, I, your humble servant, want to tell you about the “secret” and cheap methods of getting rid of acne.

I think that’s enough “water”, let’s move on to specifics. You can come up with a lot of ways to prepare mash by mixing various acids and antibiotics . I want to talk about the mash with chloramphenicol, in my opinion, it is the most effective and simple.

Pimples for acne on the face: a dermatologist's recipe

In order to make mash with chloramphenicol and salicylic acid, you will need:

Salicylic acid 1% - one 40 ml. jar.
5 tablets of chloramphenicol (grind into powder).
one two-gram sachet of streptocide.

Mix all the components in a jar with salicylic acid, wait until the chloramphenicol tablets soak and precipitate. That's all, the preparation of the medicine is finished.

Before use, shake the bottle, dip a cotton swab and apply to problem areas of the skin until the acne disappears.

Use once at night, rinse off in the morning, by the way , if the product gets on your lips, you will feel a bitter taste.

For sensitive skin, the main thing is not to dry it out; for this you should not use it too often. First, apply it to spots, and if there is no severe dryness and flaking, then you can apply it all over your face.

Please note , since the composition includes an antibiotic, addiction may occur. To avoid this, use the principle of periodization, that is, use it for 2-3 days and rest from treatment for 2-3 days. This way, the efficiency will not be reduced!

If the skin becomes very dry, you should reduce the frequency of use, and do not forget about moisturizers.

A few words about speed and treatment process

The speed depends on the severity of the disease. If there are few pimples and they are not purulent , then they will go away very quickly. Well, a large number of purulent acne a priori takes longer to treat, but again the result will definitely be there.

Do not forget that acne treatment should be comprehensive, this means that when solving a problem with external manifestations, one should not forget about possible internal deviations.

If teenagers don’t really need to worry about this topic, since acne appears due to excess testosterone, when the “test” returns to normal, acne does not appear. For adults, you should pay attention to your diet and the health of your endocrine system. Pimples don’t just appear in adulthood; to figure this out, read about the acne map.

How it works

Salicylic acid dries well, reduces oily skin, removes redness, penetrates deep into pores, cleansing them from the inside, thereby treating existing acne and preventing the appearance of new ones.

Levomycetin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that fights bacteria very well. As you know, multiplied bacteria are pimples, but chloramphenicol does not allow them to multiply, it insidiously kills them :)

Streptocide , also an antibiotic, is necessary to expand the spectrum of action of chloramphenicol. There is also an opinion that streptocide promotes better healing of scars.

The healing property is manifested because by quickly killing the bacteria, antibiotics allow the wound to heal peacefully.

Due to its complex action , this mash becomes a very effective remedy for acne. See for yourself, it removes excess subcutaneous sebum, kills bacteria, promotes rapid healing, isn’t it a miracle remedy!?:)

Other recipes for mash:

They also use a mash with calendula tincture, add 3 tablets of chloramphenicol and 3 aspirin. All this is mixed in a bottle and applied to the face. I haven’t tried this kind of talker, I’m quite happy with the first option.

How to cook

In some cases, pharmacists will be able to prepare such a mash if there is an appropriate prescription from the attending dermatologist.

However, not all pharmacies offer such and similar services, so you can make a mash with salicylic acid and the addition of chloramphenicol on your own.

Just follow these steps:

Purchase the main medicinal components at the pharmacy, that is, salicylic acid and a drug called chloramphenicol.
After this, you need to take all the medications and grind them to a powder.
After this, you need to take a clean container and first mix all the liquid components in it, and then add the powders.
The result is a mixture that must then be shaken.
The container must be stored in a dark and cool place.

Composition and release form of Levomycetin

Levomycetin is an antibiotic with a broad spectrum of action. The active ingredient is chloramphenicol, and also contains excipients. Levomycetin can be found in completely different versions:

tablets – release form 250, 500 mg;
alcohol solution - here Levomycetin is dissolved in ethyl alcohol, the content of the active substance is 1%;
drops – used in ophthalmology to treat eye diseases;
limitente - liquid ointment for external use.

You can buy Levomycetin in city pharmacies or online pharmacies.

Recipe for acne mash with chloramphenicol and salicylic acid

The main effect of such a talker is to fight acne on oily skin. In order to make such a mash yourself, you must follow the following recipe.

Ingredients:

Medical alcohol (90%) in the amount of 50 milliliters.
Boric acid - 50 milliliters.
Levomycetin – 5 grams.
Salicylic acid (2%) – 5 grams.

Application: All components listed above must be combined and mixed. After this, you need to wipe the problem skin areas overnight, using rubbing movements. But before you do this, you need to cleanse your skin.

Effective ways to use chloramphenicol

Having noticed the appearance of acne, many try to disguise the unpleasant pustules and bumps with cosmetics. Applying foundation and powder will lead to the disappearance of acne only on a visual level. Deprived of oxygen, the pores will turn into a favorable environment for the continued proliferation of harmful bacteria that have already appeared, in connection with this the inflammatory process will only worsen, and there will be more acne. The fight against acne should be different.

Anti-acne mash based on chloramphenicol

An anti-acne mash with chloramphenicol in combination with simple medicinal substances purchased at a pharmacy will help to noticeably cleanse your face. It should be remembered that ordinary hydrogen peroxide can have a negative effect on the skin, since there is a high probability of getting minor burns to the problem areas that have been treated. A safer way is to prepare mixtures based on chloramphenicol against acne. Preparation of one of them will require the following dosage of active ingredients:

boric acid (ordinary bottle);
chloramphenicol (3 tablets);
aspirin (same amount).

The solution will remove excess fat on the surface of the epidermis, relieve inflammation, prevent acne spots from appearing, and provide a fresh look to the skin due to its rejuvenating effect on cells.

Levomycetin lotion

As an alternative, you can prepare another lotion, where the presence of chloramphenicol is dominant. Replacing boric acid with calendula tincture (30 ml) will enhance the radical effect of the solution on acne. Inflamed areas are effectively dried. The lotion contains the following elements:

chloramphenicol;
alcohol solution (30-400), 50ml;
calendula tincture (30ml);
aspirin (4 tablets).

However, you should beware of excessive dryness, which can have the opposite effect and aggravate negative processes on the skin. A solution using herbal tincture is optimal for combating local imperfections that arise at the initial stage of a hormonal surge.

The presence of aspirin tablets in the lotion can be abandoned by adding an identical amount of metronidazole instead, maintaining the dosage of chloramphenicol and the volume of calendula tincture. Careful spot application is the key to achieving optimal results in the quest to get rid of acne. It is not important to use drops or tablets in home remedies.

Mask: drops of chloramphenicol + gifts of nature

Protein and plant products will be involved in the preparation. This mask will not only help get rid of acne, it will make the skin more elastic and start cell regeneration processes. Reviews from those who have used it are the most optimistic. The following ingredients will be required:

1 raw egg (necessarily fresh);
drops of chloramphenicol (10 drops);
buckwheat honey (1 tbsp);
tincture of walnut shells (10 drops).

A tincture of walnut shells can be prepared simply: crush the shells of 5 nuts and pour them with a weak solution of alcohol or vodka so as to cover them entirely.
Leave for 2 days. The volume can be increased while maintaining the proportions. Levomycetin drops are sold at any pharmacy. The mask should be applied to skin washed with water (without detergents) using gentle movements. Keep on face for 15 minutes. Then wash it off with plain water.

Before applying chloramphenicol drops or powder to your skin, test yourself for an allergic reaction. To do this, apply a few drops or powder to your hand. Use the drug if the skin does not turn red after the test.

Unfortunately, the mask is not suitable for use by those with dry skin, but only normal or oily skin. Levomycetin and alcohol dry out the skin greatly. For those with dry skin, it is better to exclude the alcohol solution and replace it with aspirin. Aspirin, unlike alcohol, is less drying. Aspirin is an acid, it will corrode the skin, it is safer if this happens locally.

Some people try to fight acne with only aspirin. However, this method, as practice shows, is ineffective. Aspirin only slightly oxidizes the surface of the skin and acne, but if the skin is oily, its effect is negated. Levomycetin helps with acne much better.

Possible complications

The only complication that was noted by leading experts is the likelihood of a chemical burn due to incorrect, too frequent or incorrect use of the talker.

It should also be noted that there is such a complication as the presence of allergic reactions, both to the product itself and to its individual components.

Advantages and disadvantages

Levomycetin is quite often included in expensive acne medications. However, the drug may be present in these products in low concentrations, which negatively affects their effectiveness.

It is much more profitable to buy the drug in tablet form and mix it with alcohol or ordinary water. Such substances give more results than expensive drugs.

Thanks to their systematic use, you can cope with acne and prevent the formation of new breakouts.

However, chloramphenicol also has certain disadvantages. The key disadvantage is the fact that it dries out the skin greatly. To cope with this problem, it is recommended to apply the medicine precisely to the area where the rash is localized.

How to use it correctly

You should not use this product very often. It is enough to apply the mash twice a day - once in the morning and once in the evening.

If the skin is not only sensitive or prone to dryness, then it is recommended to limit yourself to one treatment every day.

In the case of independent use, you need to grind the tablets included in the mash to form a powder.

For such purposes, you can use a masher or mortar. Of course, there are those who use a coffee grinder or blender.

However, you should not use them, because the smallest particles of the drugs will not only remain on the equipment, but will also end up in coffee or dishes.

Before using the product for the first time, it is recommended to undergo a specialized skin test. It will show how well the selected composition is suitable.

Also, after performing a skin test, you can determine whether an allergic reaction will occur or not. Shake the product thoroughly before each use.

If you ignore the rules or use the product incorrectly, this can cause irritation, dry skin and flaking of the skin.

Therefore, you should not forget about moisturizing the skin, and after the procedure it is necessary to treat the skin with a moisturizer.

During the treatment period, you will need to stop using cosmetics and take care of your skin, protecting it from external negative factors (cold, wind, ultraviolet rays).

Reviews

Elizaveta, 28 years old, Moscow I have been saving myself from acne with homemade mixtures since I was a teenager. My skin tolerates alcohol solutions well, so I use home remedies quite often - 2-3 courses a year. The skin quickly returns to its normal state: rashes are reduced, oiliness and shine disappear. Usually all symptoms go away within 10 days.

Konstantin, 24 years old, Mariupol A cosmetologist friend advised me to treat pimples with Levomycetin with salicylic alcohol. There is an effect - already on the 3rd day the acne began to dry out, and after a week it almost completely disappeared. The pores have noticeably cleaned up and become less wide. I recommend this product to anyone with oily skin.

Marina, 35 years old, Novgorod The product dries out not only ulcers, but also my sensitive skin. Therefore, I apply it pointwise and very carefully. After the course of treatment, I definitely carry out a course of nourishing masks to restore the fluid balance in the skin cells.

Pharmaceutical composition

As for the pharmaceutical composition of the mash, created on the basis of the use of chloramphenicol and salicylic acid, here we can note such a detailed pharmaceutical composition as:

Antibiotics. Levomycetin is an excellent antibiotic that can stop the growth of bacteria and suppress it. Levomycetin also copes with a large number of skin infections. However, it should be noted here that negative bacteria very quickly get used to antibiotics, so the mash should be used for a short period of time;
Antiseptics. Salicylic acid is an excellent antiseptic that prevents the decomposition of skin and tissues. Among other things, antiseptics, which is salicylic acid, help dry wounds;
Antibacterial substances. In addition, these drugs have antibacterial properties, that is, they prevent the possible growth and spread of microorganisms.

Advantages and disadvantages

multicomponentity.

The cost of a suspension prepared at home does not exceed 100 rubles; purchased mixtures are even cheaper.

Homemade suspensions cannot be stored for more than a day , and pharmaceutical preparations are prepared immediately before sale. The product cannot penetrate into the deep layers of the skin; it will not disinfect large pimples with purulent cores and ulcers. The average duration of therapy is two weeks. If you need a faster effect, you will have to use expensive ointments.

If the components are incorrectly selected, medications react and can cause harm to the body. Alcohol-based mixtures dry out the skin; after the procedure, you must apply a nourishing cream. All shortcomings are associated with incorrect selection of ingredients and preparation of mash.

Rationale for the use of chloramphenicol

When focusing on the use of the drug in the desire to achieve the ideal surface of the facial skin, you should be aware of the scale of its impact.
Levomycetin is an ideal remedy for eliminating acne, the presence of which has not expanded to a serious scale. Otherwise, you can restore skin health only with the help of a doctor’s recommendations. The undeniable advantages of chloramphenicol include:

the ability to use the solution during pregnancy (unstable hormone levels provoke the formation of acne);
optimal effect on the skin of the T-zone (the main place of acne formation in adolescence and in the presence of oily skin);
reasonable price and availability.

Before purchasing drops or tablets of this medication and related medications, you need to understand the reasons that caused the rash in the form of pimples and acne. Annoying single pimples fully justify the use of chloramphenicol. Doctors define its properties as safe in terms of exposure to the skin when taken in precautions.

Preparation and storage rules

The main condition for high-quality preparation of mash is maintaining the proportions of active substances in the composition. This will ensure the effectiveness and safety of the drug. In this case, the rule “the more the better” does not work, but only harms.
It is also very important to grind all the dry ingredients into a fine powder. This will help the components dissolve quickly and ensure a uniform texture of the liquid: large particles of tablets can damage and scratch the skin.
Before cooking, containers, tools and your hands must be absolutely clean. To avoid drying out your hand skin, wear rubber gloves.
It is best to store the mash in a transparent glass bottle, tightly closed with a cap. Under no circumstances should the container be kept in direct sunlight. It is best to choose a dark, cool place - a closet or refrigerator.
Before using the mash bottle, shake the bottle thoroughly to remove sediment from the bottom.

Compliance with these rules will help preserve the beneficial properties of the mash for a long period of time.
