Juz came back from clinic....I hav consulted doctor bout my situation...n these r wad he gav me.. n i hav 'google' all the medicince he gav me....i miss bio n chem...:(



a)centrimide 2% lotion:

Cetrimide is a quaternary ammonium compound.
Spectrum of action: bactericidal activity against gram-positive bacteria, fungi and protozoa. It is not effective against gram negative bacteria, spores, viruses and mycobacteria.
It is a cationic surface-active agent. It is a mild keratolytic agent as well as being an antiseptic. antiseptic action is due to denaturation of proteins as well as causing cell membrane damage.

dis lotion i use to wash face to reduce the pimples. mention the last sentence? it's use to dry out the membrane of the acne thus causing it to peel off. the pus of our acne is a type of protein indeed. well, from the point of view in beauty, dis product will cause my skin to dry out...



b)calamine lotion (commonly use in skin disorder)


Calamine is a mixture of zinc oxide (ZnO) with about 0.5% iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3). It is the main ingredient in calamine lotion and is used as an antipruritic (anti-itching agent) to treat mild pruritic conditions such as sunburn, eczema, rashes, poison ivy, chickenpox, insect bites and stings.It is also used as a mild antiseptic to prevent infections that can be caused by scratching the affected area, and an astringent to dry weeping or oozing blisters and acne abscesses.

c)chlorpheniramine maleate

Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergy, hay fever, and the common cold. These symptoms include rash, watery eyes, itchy eyes/nose/throat/skin, cough, runny nose, and sneezing.
This medication works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. By blocking another natural substance made by your body (acetylcholine), it helps dry up some body fluids to relieve symptoms such as watery eyes and runny nose.

d)prolase

unable to find any about this. wad i know about prolase is that it's a type of enzyme, dat's all. but i dunno y it uses to reduce the swellness occured...question mark?!!
