Skin Benefits Of Hypochlorous Acid

[@chocolatesheikh]

I did research on this acid back in 2005-2006 and we did a lot of work to try and bring it to market for people with chronic wounds. It has really high efficacy and low irritation and doesn't impede wound healing. We ran into problems when it came to producing it in industrial quantities because it reacts with stainless steel. Good to finally see it in mass market products.

[@MaraJrianne]

thank you for this tidbit about the stainless steel. I had wondered why it wasn't more in use, generally, and that gives some context for why.

[@glendahannings6066]

I use hypochlorous acid as a hand sanitizer instead of an alcohol based hand sanitizer. It is much more gentler on the hands than alcohol.

[@anikajoy5739]

So smart! I did the same thing while working at McDonald's! They supplied regular hand sanitizer but it was so drying! I brought my own bottle of hypoclorous acid to work with me and as someone working the dirty cash register it was a total game changer!

I have hidradenitis suppurativa and hypochlorous acid is a game changer for my open wounds. It helps heal them faster and it does help with the itch. It doesn't make the itch completely go away but definitely helps reduce it. I use Vashe which is more expensive but it's a medical product so I feel more comfortable using it. The downside is that it is supposed to be used within 30 days of opening but once the 30 days is up I downgrade it to using it on my face (for acne) and to clean my CPAP equipment.

[@MaraJrianne]

I saw one of your videos on this a few years ago and purchased the skin smart brand. at first, it kinda sat there not being really used until I saw you say something about it helping some people's roscea. I started using it for that and it helps calm it (though I thought it was just controlling the mites not calming on its own). I also have used it when allergies spike and I can't seem to get relief for my eyes. Knowing that, once it performs its function, it essentially just becomes salt water/saline, I figured it was safe on my eyes and it has been helpful there, too. As for going forward - I will try it for exercise. I break out in hives with exercise and the misery that comes with that has made it incredibly difficult to keep up anything that makes that flare, lest it goes too far and I have to use my epi-pen. Knowing this could help gives me some power back toward figuring out a routine I can do and keep up with. Thank you so much, Dr Dray! also, can I (we, your audience) have your references? I understand some may be behind paywalls but it would still be appreciated.

I used the Skin Smart brand years ago, for my family on our face and eyes for acne and Blepharitis. Also on minor wounds. I forgot about it, mainly price was an issue. Then in May when a spinal neuromodulator stimulator that I recently had implanted caused me to become septic I was introduced to hypochlorous acid again. While in the hospital with this Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus infection I had to have the implant removed and all of the infected tissues removed, which was a lot. I ended up with a would vac attached and I needed my wound to be cleaned three times a week. To my surprise hypochlorous acid is what they use to clean my wound. They wash it out with it and then stuff it with gauze soaked in it for five minutes. They used the brand Vashe. I’m off the wound vac and almost healed, but as of this week I get to do all my own wound care so I am stocked with a large bottle and ready to go! My ophthalmologist also told me to start up again with it for my eye care. I did not know it could be helpful for eczema. I will try that tonight as it’s been a huge issue for me.

[@thinkinggrace8092]

I kind of found the same thing, even was kind of drying for me.

[@L1ttlef0ot]

I’m not a medical professional so this is just what I’ve learned from hearing other word of mouth saying something similar to you. What I think is If your acne is related to certain bacteria or yeast (naturally occurring in varying amounts) on your skin, the spray is proven to help reduce those so your skin isn’t experiencing inflammation from these anymore. The reduction in inflammation therefore helps reduce acne if caused by these things it seems. But if there’s no bacteria or yeast bothering your skin, for example if the acne is hormonal, it may not be as effective since the treatment is not appropriate for the cause. But, it may be very helpful to prevent infections if you happen to pick at your skin because of acne, which may help breakouts already present to heal faster. The dryness may come from the salt in the product which has to be there for the formulation to be stable, it’s in every brand for that reason. To counteract that, it may benefit to let it sit on your skin long enough to dry, then the active ingredient is done working and only salt water is left on your skin so you can rinse it off if you want then follow it with moisturizer.

To clean small cuts and scrapes of the skin what would be your order of preference if the choice is as follows: 1) “Dermol Cream” & tap water (please see ingredients in the previous message below) 2) “CYTEAL solution moussante” & tap water (please see ingredients below) 3) Chlorhexidinedigluconat (50mg/100ml) & cotton wool swab 4) Dove soap bar & tap water 5) Eucerin shower oil & tap water 6) Ethanol (known in some countries as "Alcool à 90°") & cotton wool swab Our thanks once again for your videos and for your kind assistance. ---- “CYTEAL solution moussante by Pierre Fabre Dermatologie Active ingredients (for 100ml of solution moussante): Diiséthionate d’hexamadine 0.1g Gluconate de chlorhexidine (solution at 20%m/v) 0.5ml Chlorocrésol 0.3g Excipients: Alcanamido (C12-C18) propylbétaine (Amonyl 380 BA), di (hydroxyéthylalcanamide) (Comperlan KD), acide édétique, parfum coniférol, acide lactique, eau purifiée. Excipient à effet notoire: Acide édétique (EDTA) Voie cutanée. Nettoyage des affections de la peau et des muqueuses infectées ou risquant de s’infecter.” ===============

[@niquestenz9355]

any thoughts on hypochlorus acid for treatment of perioral dermatitis?

[@angiepattillo3599]

Someone else commented that it cleared theirs.

[@niquestenz9355]

@@angiepattillo3599 Interesting! Thank you!

[@Brian_0523]

Would this be beneficial to prevent boils?

[@MaggieWolf-7777]

Hilarious that this is now trendy. Many YEARS ago I started using Vetericyn's wound care spray (which is HA) for my dog's hot spots and allergy flares...even dabbing it on the face as needed. On a lark, I put some of the dogs' spray on my face on a pimple - that pimple disappeared overnight. We also started using it for first aid for humans as well as dogs -- it actually SPEEDS healing (cuts heal super fast). The Vetericyn bottles are a lot bigger -- more bang for the buck. The same company makes Puricyn for humans, but they told me that the bottle contents are the same...just a different label.

Great and interesting topic! Can this product be used in the perineal area for lichen sclerosis? Thank you!

[@lucysky384]

I am not an expert, but l have a spray with this ingredient that's meant for that area.

Hi Dr Dray, can i ask something that the tretinoin cream 0.05% if i can buy from the counter in Europe country, do you think that tretinoin cream will be the same quality and can get the same effective results as prescription brand? Is there a matter depending on the brand name for the tretinoin? Thank you so much for your suggestions

[@fer8095]

Is this as good as benzoyl peroxide for the armpits? Curious the whole benzene thing

[@db-gb5xi]

Dr Dray, other derms, cosmetic chemist/formulators, Lab Muffin have all said that benzene is in BP is not an issue and that the lab that put out the study did faulty testing and not real life scenarios.

[@midlifemom5829]

Very informative Dr Dray! My husband is experiencing intense itching around surgical site where lipoma was removed. Can i spray on the itchy area, avoiding wound site?

[@niceguy5976]

She said it was beneficial for itch relief as well as wound healing. I have one of these sprays and on the bottle it says you can spray it directly on the wound. Hope that helps.

[@MyLoVeLyMaN]

I've just started using it. So far what I've noticed is that makes me skin a bit tight/tingly when I spray after washing. Using a 0.015%

[@christina_1234]

Would you recommend the Tower 28 brand?

[@DB6904.]

I'm glad you brought it up. I have a question about the oxidation since that happens, wouldn't that cause? Free radicals to an extent?

[@danniedebe9885]

Does it help cystic acne?

[@rhod4real]

I don't hv tower 28 in my country. Can i use hypochlorous acid for wonds also for my face

[@Duxbury_Skin]

Would this be good to use in replacement of hand sanitizer?

[@angiepattillo3599]

Yes! And for household cleaning.

[@sialee5926]

Is it good for mosquito bites/itch & smelly feet?
