DermaZinc® Cream

ou do not need a prescription to use DermaZinc®. It is an over-the-counter (OTC) product.

We always recommend consulting a physician before use as to which type of product is best for your specific condition. Typically, the OTC product will work for mild to moderate cases.

Prescription strength or compounded DermaZinc® is simply the over-the-counter product (Spray, Cream or Shampoo) compounded with a steroid. Compounding simply means that a pharmacist will combine the steroid with the DermaZinc® product, which now makes it prescription strength. The prescription strength is recommended for initial treatment of severe cases.

Results will vary depending upon skin type and severity of the conditions. Users have reported immediate results (ie, the itching subsides). Typical results can be achieved in as little as 3-5 days and complete clearing can be achieved in 7-10 days. Most cases will not take longer than two weeks.

It is always recommended that you consult a physician. It is unlikely that you will need to combine the use of DermaZinc® with other products or treatments. In some cases, users of DermaZinc® have reported that they have used other treatments, such as light therapy, in conjunction.
