Medline Remedy Essentials Zinc Oxide Skin Protectant Paste (4 oz Tube), Unscented, Barrier, Incontinence Cream, Diaper Rash, Adults, Elderly, Hypoallergenic, Paraben Free

Although this product does not require a doctors prescription it was recommended by a wound care specialist MD. I broke my spine and was in the hospital and rehab for many months and developed bed sores that became difficult to heal, especially the several open soars on my butt. My PCP (primary care physician) referred me to the wound care specialist. He recommended this product 3 time per day and cover with a pad. After 2 weeks I returned to the Doc and the sores were almost healed. He recommended 2 more weeks. After the additional 2 weeks the sores were healed. I then changed to a different dressing and the skin was all cleared. The new dressing was purchased at Amazon.

My wife is in bed 24/7 with a neurological disease, and we haven't had any bed sores since using this product along with an alternating pressure air mattress.

This product is rated high because it is a Protecive cream. No exaggeration. It does what it says it would do.

Good for treating bed sores and other skin conditions which need a protective moisture barrier film. This paste is very thick and a very little bit (pea sized) goes a long way. It should be spread onto the skin in a very thin film rather than a thick clump. If too much is applied, it just rubs right off. I learned this from a nurse who showed me how to to apply it to my wife's bedsores by sort of gently slapping it on in swipes side to side instead of simply rubbing it on. It is a great healing agent for burns, poison ivy and other skin problems. I'd strongly recommend having a tube or two in your medicine box.

Effective. I wish the tube were bigger.

A great skin protector for diaper rash or incontinent care.

Best I have ever used.

Absolutely works great
