Non-hormonal ointments for dermatitis - reviews, price, analogues

The manifestation of various allergic reactions can very often occur in both children and adults. Regardless of the reasons that cause an allergic reaction, most often the first symptoms appear in the form of a rash.

There are a large number of different creams and ointments for skin allergies. Depending on the intensity of the reaction to allergens, it is necessary to select the appropriate drug.

Choosing a drug against an allergic reaction for external use helps to quickly act on the epidermis and eliminate a large number of unpleasant symptoms, such as itching, swelling and redness.

Allergies and their manifestations on the skin

The appearance of rashes on the epidermis as a result of contact with an allergen is called skin allergy. The appearance of such discomfort can spread over the entire area of ​​the body, accompanied by a large number of unpleasant symptoms.

Most often, an allergic reaction occurs for the following reasons:

• Allergic reactions to food;
• Pollen and animal fur;
• Medications;
• Household chemicals;
• Insect bites;
• Cosmetic substance and much more.

Most often, allergies manifest themselves as follows on the skin:

• A rash that can spread in specific areas or throughout the body, depending on the severity of the disease;
• Itching and burning;
• Blisters and ulcers;
• Swelling of the skin.

If this type of symptom appears, you must contact a medical facility for an examination, which will help identify the cause and eliminate the allergen.

Skin allergy symptoms. How to determine

The skin manifestation of allergies is called dermatitis, and may have the following characteristics:

• Redness (erythema or hyperemia). It can be local, point-like, or cover large areas.
• Inflammation (especially when scratching due to infections entering damaged tissues).
• Itching, burning.
• Dryness, peeling with scab formation.

• Rash. Local or widespread in nature, can develop into pustular rashes.
• Swelling. The eyelids and areas near the mouth and nose are often affected.
• Blisters and accompanying weeping eczema.

The difference between ointment and cream and gel

Medicinal substances are available in different forms.

They have different effects on the skin:

• Ointment – ​​fats are most often used as a base for ointments, due to which the product has a thick consistency. It is recommended to use for acute forms of an allergic reaction;
• Cream – the cream most often contains wax, which has a higher level of penetration into the skin. Used for application to large areas. Absorbs quickly without leaving any traces;
• Gel - the components of the gel are similar to ointment, however, they do not clog pores and are absorbed more quickly by the skin surface. The gel has the ability to spread evenly on the skin, thereby improving the medicinal qualities of the medicinal substance. Used to treat large areas, as well as in childhood.

Distinctive features of the drugs:

• Ointment, unlike gel and cream, has a thick structure and is most often used under bandages and compresses;
• Ointment is poorly absorbed and leaves marks on clothes and skin, while gel and cream have a high level of absorption;
• Gels have the ability to penetrate the skin faster and relieve swelling;
• The ointment penetrates deeply into the layers of the epidermis and is absorbed by the tissues, while creams and gels affect the surface layers of the epidermis;
• Gels and creams most often have a wide range of effects, while ointments are aimed at eliminating several factors.

Each type of medicinal substance, regardless of its release form, has a large number of side effects, so before use you must carefully study the instructions for use.

Classification and indications for the use of antiallergic ointments

There are two types of antiallergic ointments in the pharmacy assortment - non-hormonal and hormonal. The latter contain glucocorticosteroids, which are synthetic analogues of adrenal hormones. They relieve inflammation well, relieve swelling and itching. But hormonal drugs have a significant drawback - a huge list of potential side effects.

Non-hormonal drugs are not as effective. But their beneficial properties are quite enough to eliminate allergy symptoms of 1-2 degrees of severity. Most of them are quite safe due to the mild, gentle effects of the components.

Both hormonal and non-hormonal agents are used for the following pathologies with an allergic component:

• contact dermatitis;
• hives;
• atopic dermatitis;
• microbial eczema, acute or chronic;
• drug dermatitis;
• seborrheic eczema;
• exudative erythema multiforme.

Antihistamine ointments are used for neurodermatitis - skin allergies of neurogenic origin. They are also prescribed to patients with food allergies, often manifested by itchy skin.

A separate group includes ointments intended for the treatment of ophthalmic allergic diseases. These are keratitis and conjunctivitis with their typical symptoms - photophobia, itching of the eyelids, profuse lacrimation, burning.

There are special remedies for the treatment of allergic and inflammatory eye diseases.

Hormonal ointments

Hormonal ointments contain glucocorticosteroids - “heavy artillery” against allergies. Such drugs are included in treatment regimens when diagnosing acute dermatitis. They are also prescribed when safer non-hormonal drugs are ineffective. Glucocorticosteroids block the production of mediators that are responsible for the development of inflammation and the formation of rashes.

The following antihistamine ointments cope especially well with this task:

• Celestoderm;
• Akriderm;
• Advantan;
• Momat;
• Lorinden S and A;
• Hydrocortisone ointment;
• Sinaflan;
• Prednisolone ointment;
• Beloderm;
• Afloderm;
• Lokoid.

A little about the disadvantages of hormonal ointments. With their long-term use, pathological changes in the skin are observed. It becomes thinner, coarsens, and depigmented areas and (or) stretch marks appear on it. Many products with glucocorticosteroids are contraindicated during pregnancy, lactation, childhood and adolescence.

Advantan quickly copes with allergic rashes in adults and children

Non-hormonal ointments

Non-hormonal allergy ointment eliminates all symptoms of the disease within 3-7 days of constant use. Such drugs not only eliminate the consequences of an overly aggressive reaction of the immune system. At the same time, they accelerate skin restoration by improving blood circulation in the dermis and epidermis.

Here are the highest quality anti-allergy products that do not contain hormones:

• Fenistil. The active composition is represented by one ingredient - dimethindene maleate. The homogeneous transparent gel is quickly absorbed and does not leave greasy marks on linen and clothes. Therapeutic effects appear 15-25 minutes after its application;
• Psilo-balm. Due to its high concentration, diphenhydramine hydrochloride perfectly relieves allergic reactions. Contains ingredients with cooling and analgesic effects. Therefore, a person feels relief almost immediately after rubbing in the balm;
• Radevit. White with a yellowish tint, a thick ointment consists of fat-soluble vitamins E, A, D. It moisturizes the skin well, saturates it with useful bioactive substances, and accelerates regeneration.

A separate group includes gels, creams, ointments with herbal ingredients - phytoextracts and natural oils. These are Gistan, Nezulin, Rescuer, Ambulance and others. The drugs are relatively safe, but only cope with allergies of 1st degree of severity.

For dermatitis complicated by weeping, doctors prescribe drying Zinc paste to patients. And time-tested Salicylic ointment helps get rid of rashes with excessive peeling.

Psilo-balm has pronounced antihistamine activity

Combined products

A typical symptom of any allergy is an unbearable desire to itch, which leads to microtrauma of the skin. Epidermal staphylococci or pathogenic fungi penetrate into the wounds, provoking the development of the inflammatory process. Until a few years ago, both antihistamines and antimicrobials were used in treatment.

Now dermatologists prescribe any combination ointment for skin allergies to patients:

• Triderm. The active composition is formed from the glucocorticosteroid betamethasone, the antibiotic gentamicin and the antimycotic clotrimazole. Using an ointment helps stop an allergic reaction and destroy infectious pathogens;
• Akriderm GK. The composition of the ointment is similar to Triderm. But it costs much less, although its therapeutic effects are no worse;
• Akriderm Ghent. Contains betamethasone and the antimicrobial component gentamicin. A combination remedy is used for allergic dermatitis complicated by bacterial infection;
• Akriderm SK. The drug contains salicylic acid, which has a pronounced exfoliating effect. With its help, it is possible to quickly remove keratinized epidermis, accelerating the formation of healthy cells.

There are several drugs with the general name Akriderm, all of them are hormonal.
The previously mentioned Radevit, Psilo-balm are also combined multicomponent drugs. A good ointment for skin allergies is Gistan. It contains plant extracts, essential and cosmetic oils.

But it should be noted that Gistan-N appeared on sale relatively recently. It contains only the glucocorticosteroid mometasone furoate, but it does not contain any natural ingredients.

Non-hormonal agents

Medicinal creams and ointments against non-hormonal allergic reactions are used in the presence of a simple type of skin rash.

Non-hormonal ointments and creams have the following types of benefits:

• They have a therapeutic effect with a small number of side effects;
• Non-addictive and suitable for long-term use;
• They have a gentle effect on the skin and can be used in childhood;
• You can stop the course of treatment at any time without gradually reducing the dosage;
• Eliminate unpleasant symptoms and can block further development of the disease.

Allergy ointment according to traditional recipes

Medicinal plants effectively combat allergy symptoms. The most popular infusions are made from bay leaves and strings, which are used both externally and as a drink:

Ointment based on string and Vaseline. For 2 teaspoons of Vaseline, take one teaspoon of chopped herbs. In a small container, the components are mixed and heated in a water bath for 10-15 minutes. When hot, the resulting mass is filtered through thick gauze. The ointment is stored in a cold place for 3-4 days.

Elecampane and lard against allergies. Elecampane rhizomes crushed in a coffee grinder are mixed with lard 1:2 and heated in a water bath for 15-20 minutes. After straining, the preparation is stored in the refrigerator for up to several days.

Tar ointment. 1 raw chicken egg yolk, 25g. camphor oil, 50g. birch tar, 50g. alcohols are mixed. The mixture will keep in the refrigerator for 1 week.

Due to the wide choice, it is difficult to determine which ointment against skin allergies is optimal for a particular person. This is explained by the different nature of the manifestations of the disease in each individual case.

For effective treatment, you need to independently study the basic principles of healing or contact a good specialist.

Hormonal allergy ointment contains active ingredients - corticosteroids (synthetic hormones) and therefore has a large number of side effects and contraindications.

To prevent complications, it is not recommended to prescribe and use ointments on your own. An exception may be products with low hormone content.

Allergy ointment for face

When choosing an ointment for the face, you should remember that the skin of the face is thin and sensitive, so you should not use ointments for the legs or other parts of the body when treating allergy symptoms on the face.

Moreover, creams, gels or emulsions are more gentle than ointments. Therefore, the ointment should be used with great caution and applied only to local areas of damaged skin.

   You should not self-medicate)) But if you smear yourself with something for allergies, then preferably a non-hormonal drug. For example, you can get rid of itching and inflammation with the help of berestin.

   I agree with Evgenia, if the allergy is mild, then it is better to take non-hormonal ointments. I heard about Bepanten. I didn’t know that zinc ointment is also active in terms of allergies. From time to time my palms become dry, red and itchy - I know the reason, I try to keep my allergies in check, but I’ll try to help my hands with zinc ointment first.

   Of the non-hormonal ones, Naftaderm is also a good one. relieves inflammation well. Hormones are evil, it’s better to use them less.

   Tell me how to use naftaderm... If it is non-hormonal, then you shouldn’t expect a quick effect? As far as I know, it is even recommended for psoriasis. Does it really help?

   I haven’t tried it for psoriasis, but I have to deal with allergic dermatitis from time to time (atopic since childhood). No, well, hormones don’t cure. It just fits the condition and that’s it. And if the allergies are chronic, then you can really rely on hormones - the skin gets used to them. Apply twice a day and that’s it. Relieves itching. Then after 2 hours, wash off the remnants and apply moisturizing cream on top.

General rules of application

For effective results, you must follow the following rules for using allergy ointments:

• Before using the substance, wash your hands thoroughly with soap;
• Apply only to the damaged area;
• It is not recommended to use other medications without prescription;
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight;
• Before use, it is recommended to test the body’s reaction to the drug;
• It is not recommended to use more than the prescribed dosage;
• Hormonal ointments and creams are not used for a long course; if necessary, repeat treatment, you must wait at least a month.

Before starting treatment, you should consult your doctor and get an individual method of applying the product depending on the complexity of the disease.

How to make the right choice of ointment for allergies

To choose the right ointment, it is necessary to correctly determine the degree and nature of skin damage, as well as the location of the source of inflammation. A competent specialist can help with this.

If the degree of damage is small, then non-hormonal agents will help. If the affected area is on sensitive facial skin, then milder products are needed. Depending on the nature of the rash (wet areas or flaky, dry areas), the drug also changes.

Independent use of hormonal and antihistamine ointments may be justified in a hopeless situation when it is not possible to immediately visit a specialist.

These may be isolated cases of taking potent drugs, after which you should definitely consult a doctor.

To temporarily improve your condition, before visiting a doctor, you can take antihistamine tablets (the latest generation), as well as hormonal ointments with a quick-acting effect (Advantan, Elokom).

Prevention of allergic reactions

You cannot insure against allergies, however, if you follow certain rules, you can reduce the risk of unpleasant sensations.

These include:

• Proper hygiene;
• Diet;
• When choosing cosmetics and household products, preference should be given to products without dyes and fragrances. The packaging must have a non-allergenic mark.

If the slightest adverse reaction occurs, the use of allergenic products must be stopped.
