Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned. Severe sunburn - often happens after an extended period of sun exposure, resulting in burns of a large portion of the skin with extensive blistering

In northern Europe we do not need to use an antibiotic cream or ointment unless the wound is turning nasty. These burns are a common household injury and usually affect only the top layer of the skin and don’t penetrate to other tissues. Typically these burns don’t break the skin but may cause redness, pain and sometimes swelling in the affected area.

Ingredients

Seek advice before using if you are breast feeding, pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or suffer from allergies. Frequency not known: Allergic skin reactions such as dermatitis, pruritus, erythema, eczema, rash, urticaria, skin irritation, and blisters

if you are allergic to any of the ingredients, especially Chlorhexidine as it may cause allergic reactions. Stop using and seek medical help immediately if you have any of the following very rare allergic reactions: Savlon Antiseptic Cream contains effective germ-killing and cleansing agents. Savlon's smooth moisturising cream base allows gentle application onto damaged skin.The only wounds I would use an antibacterial cream/ointment on is wounds on the fingertips, around the nails and on the feet. Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. Cetostearyl alcohol may cause local skin reactions. Parahydroxybenzoates may cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed).

Daily cleansing: Cleansing the skin daily will wash away the build-up of dirt and dead skin cells which may be contributing to spotty skin. It’s important to use luke-warm water and mild soap, no more than twice a day, to gently clean the skin without causing irritation. Directions: With clean hands gently apply cream to the affected area. Do not use on the eyes or ears. After a good cleaning, let the wound bleed for a bit. Think internal cleaning. Blood contains antibodies that will take care of bacteria. In most cases all that should be done is to clean it with clean water, saline solution is even better. Cover with a plaster or bandage. This is a medicine; Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have an underlying medical condition, are taking any other medication or complementary therapy, or if symptoms persist.I personally prefer Neosporin. I carry that plus a 14 day course of Augmentin XR ( Amoxicillin plus Clavulanic acid, slow release) which is a very good broad spectrum antibiotic. I carry so I can take one tablet every 8 hours as opposed to the standard one tablet every 12 hours.
