Skin Irriations, Minor Wounds
Our Experience Calendula (Garden marigold) stimulates wound healing. A lotion can be spread over large areas. An ointment has the most moisturizing effect. A cream is well-adapted to sensitive or thin skin. A gel is water-based and non-greasy, but does not keep the skin moisturized. Our Recommendations Damaged skin and small wounds must always be […]

Therapeutic Background Local and general antihistamines. […]

Antiviral treatment must be prescribed:* To patients with ophthalmic zoster. To immunocompromised patients. To immunocompetent […]
