Which over-the-counter anti-inflammatory cream should you choose?
If we need an anti-inflammatory cream, we don’t have to immediately rush to the doctor for a prescription. Fortunately, over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs are also available.
What should we pay attention to when choosing an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory?
There are many types of anti-inflammatory drugs on the market. Unfortunately, most of them contain steroids. We also have several non-prescription steroid creams available, which have a very good anti-inflammatory effect, but their use without medical supervision is not recommended. In addition, the use of steroid anti-inflammatory cream has harmful side effects on health in the long term.
Sometimes these are combined with antibiotics or disinfectant molecules. Unfortunately, there may be cases when we are forced to turn to the help of an over-the-counter steroid cream. In this case, however, it is important to use it under medical consultation and supervision!
If possible, don’t try steroid anti-inflammatory creams!
The difference between steroid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory creams can often be quite large. Although it is true that steroid creams have outstanding pain-relieving effects, their long-term use carries serious health risks. Furthermore, since their use requires medical supervision, steroid creams for eczema are not available without a prescription.
In the case of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory creams, the situation is different. They can also be used without medical supervision. Of course, some of these creams contain artificial ingredients, even though they are non-steroidal. Due to their safe use, they can be called almost the best anti-inflammatory creams.
Although these no longer contain steroids, we do not use them if we can. Due to the artificial ingredients found in them, they can very often cause allergic rashes and unpleasant side effects. Non-prescription anti-inflammatory creams with natural ingredients fight inflammation with the power of nature and herbs. Fortunately, there is a large selection in pharmacies and organic stores, so it is recommended that you first choose anti-inflammatory ointments, creams, and balms that are available without a prescription.
What is the strongest pain relief cream and what is the best cream for arthritis?
What counts as the strongest pain reliever or the best cream for arthritis can vary from person to person. It depends on the person and the type of pain. Unfortunately, there is no cream that has the same effect for everyone 100% of the time.
It is worth choosing herbal anti-inflammatory creams that contain at least one of the following:
Rosemary: Rosemary has a muscle relaxing, anti-inflammatory and local circulation stimulating effect
Arnica: Arnica helps the regeneration of cells and stimulates circulation. It is also recommended for musculoskeletal problems.
Chamomile, calendula, aloe vera: These herbs primarily have a skin-soothing and skin-regenerating effect. It is often used against redness, itching and irritation. Calendula cream is a great over-the-counter anti-inflammatory cream that can soothe the skin thanks to its active ingredients. It should be massaged in externally and can be effective for soothing irritated skin, skin problems, insect bites and minor burns.
In addition to all this, aloe vera, sage, and oak bark also have anti-inflammatory and healing effects. Such creams are usually cortisone-free, so their long-term use is safer. The anti-inflammatory cream based on these herbs can also be used on the feet, hands and body.
One such natural anti-inflammatory cream is the Master Balm. It fights inflammation with the help of the 12 herbs found in it. These 12 herbs are none other than aloe vera, arnica, juniper, Scots pine, eucalyptus, thyme, chamomile, calendula, turmeric, mint, rosemary, horse chestnut. Master Balm can even be considered an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory skin cream, but it is not an over-the-counter steroid cream.
Creams containing corticosteroids are not available without a prescription here, as HillVital products are made from only natural ingredients.
What is folliculitis?
Folliculitis, also known as folliculitis, is an inflammatory condition of the skin around hair follicles or hair strands. Hair follicles are located on the surface of the skin and are responsible for hair growth.
Folliculitis most often develops as a result of an infection caused by bacteria, fungi or viruses. Among the bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause of inflammation. Irritated or damaged hair follicles can become infected more easily, and inflammation develops as a result of the infection.
The most common symptoms of folliculitis include itching, burning, redness, swelling and pain around the hair follicles. In some cases, purulent ulcers or rashes may develop in the inflamed areas.
Anti-folliculitis cream without a prescription
Several types of creams are available without a prescription, which can help in the treatment of hair follicle inflammation. These can most often be obtained from pharmacies or drugstores. In many cases, they recommend the use of creams containing tea tree oil, aloe vera, grapefruit seeds, or calendula.
