    Crystacide is used for the treatment of superficial skin infections caused by organisms sensitive to hydrogen peroxide, which is potent medicine that is active against many types of bacteria, and some fungi and viruses. It acts by destroying the cells of these organisms.  

    Impetigo

    Impetigo is a skin infection that’s very contagious but not usually serious. Crystacide Cream can help treat impetigo. It often gets better in 7 to 10 days if treatment is started. Anyone can get it, but it’s very common in young children. Impetigo starts with red sores or blisters, but the redness may be harder to see in brown and black skin. The sores or blisters quickly burst and leave crusty, golden-brown patches. These patches can look like:
    • Look a bit like cornflakes stuck to your skin
    • Get bigger
    • Spread to other parts of your body
    • Be itchy
    • Sometimes be painful
     

    What else can Crystacide Cream be used for?

    • Leg ulcers
    • Sores caused by lying or sitting in the same position for long periods of time (pressure sores)
    • Superficial skin infections
     

    How to use Crystacide Cream

    Follow the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist. Always check the label for directions on how to use your medicine. Your pharmacist will help if you are not sure. Crystacide is for external use only. It is usually applied 2-3 times a day, or when needed, to the affected areas. If a waterproof plaster is used, one application a day may be sufficient. A dry film may appear on the skin after application; this can easily be washed off with water.

    If you feel that your skin remains irritated for a long time or you notice any other side effects not listed in the patient information leaflet, please tell your doctor or pharmacist and ask if you should continue with your medication.
