Skin Conditions

Purpura is the appearance of red or purple discolorations on the skin. It is caused when blood vessels under the skin leak. Purpura is a common and non-specific medical sign but can be caused by several blood disorders. Senile purpura occurs in the elderly due to fragile thinning skin and blood vessels; it commonly appears on the forearms and legs as reddish, purple bruise-like spots and fades to a permanent brown area from hemosiderin (iron) deposits. There is no cure for purpura, but you can improve the appearance of the skin.

A skin conditioner such as Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® can protect, moisturize and promote a healthier skin. The micronized (almost microscopic) ingredients help to breakdown the iron deposits (hemosiderin).  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® is ideal for eliminating bruises since it penetrates down deep into the skin. Most moisturizers just lie on top of the skin and do not absorb deeply into the skin. You will feel a noticeable difference when using Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin®. You won’t have to worry anymore about the appearance of your forearms or wear long-sleeves to cover up those discolorations in your skin after using Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® for a month or so.

Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® is backed by an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee so apply it 3-4 times to the affected area and see for yourself how well it will work. Some areas may take longer to clear up than others, so don’t get discouraged.  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® will not make every spot or all discolorations disappear, no lotion will. Try Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® and see and feel the benefits of what a therapeutic skin conditioner can do for your skin. Don’t just moisturize, condition your skin!

 

A few weeks ago I had a serious fall on my cement driveway resulting in a nasty bruise on my face. I applied Amerigel Care Lotion twice daily faithfully and was most surprised to see that it had an effect almost immediately. After 12 days my skin had returned to normal. The surprising fact is that a bruise above my eyebrow has just disappeared, as all I did was cover it with my hair. I took this same fall 3 years ago and it took 6 weeks to heal.

Eczema is actually a range of skin conditions including dryness and recurring skin rashes that are characterized by one or more of these symptoms: redness, swelling, pruritus (itching) and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing or bleeding. Eczema starts as itchy skin, followed by a red itchy rash, and usually occurs on the face, elbows, hands, knees or feet. Repeated scratching of the irritated skin can lead to scarring. The exact cause of eczema is unknown, but it’s believed to be due to the body’s overactive response to an irritant. There is no cure for eczema, but you can treat the symptoms.

My 4 year old grandson has long term Eczema. I ordered the Care Lotion for him. After two applications, my grandson called to thank me.  He asked me if I knew what he called the lotion. When I replied “no,” he said it’s the  “Cream of Love.” I just wanted to share that reaction which touched my heart.

The plaques appear over red skin and are usually silvery, white in appearance. Psoriasis can be found on the scalp, hands, elbows, legs, and chest.

Xerosis is the medical term for dry skin, a common problem. Your skin needs moisture to stay smooth and supple, and retaining moisture becomes difficult as we age. Our skin also looses moisture more readily in the winter. Central heating in your home or in other buildings is very drying to the skin. You can increase the humidity in your home during the winter months by using a humidifier.

If xerosis is not treated, the dry skin can eventually harden, crack and open fissures can develop. Cracks and fissures are breaks in the skin and can easily get infected. Severe xerosis, especially among people with diabetes, can cause severe complications. The treatment for xerosis is to moisturize and condition the dry skin. The best time to do this is right after a shower or bath, when the water helps trap the moisture in your skin.

 Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® is a therapeutic skin conditioner that does much more than an ordinary moisturizer. It is formulated with dimethicone, which is the new generation replacement for those oily, greasy feeling petrolatum-based products. Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin®  protects and moisturizes the skin. It is absorbed by the skin and penetrates down through the layers of skin to promote a healthier skin.  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® will soften the hardened areas of skin and exfoliate (remove) the buildup of dried out skin cells. It also contains antimicrobial and antifungal properties to prevent infection as it heals the cracks and fissures. Every medicine cabinet should contain  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® , as it is like first-aid for the skin. Try Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin®  and see and feel the benefits of what a therapeutic skin conditioner can do for your skin. We offer an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the results, then simply return it to us and we will refund your purchase price. Don’t just moisturize, condition your skin!

Pruritus is an itch or a sensation that makes you want to scratch. The exact cause of an “itch” is still unknown. Pruritus can cause discomfort and be frustrating. If it is severe, it can lead to sleeplessness, anxiety, and depression. There are many skin conditions like hives and eczema which may have skin itching associated with a rash. Some skin conditions only have symptoms of pruritus without having an obvious rash. Dry skin can itch, especially in the winter, with no visual signs of a rash.

Using a moisturizer like Amerigel  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin®®, with dimethicone to protect and hydrate your skin and urea to soften the accumulation of dry skin, is a great remedy for Pruritus. The antipruritic properties in the Care Lotion also relieve the urge to scratch skin. For best results: take a short, lukewarm bath/shower, blot your skin dry, and apply a generous amount ofAmerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin®.

Our best product for pruritus is Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® because it will help stop the itching and feel soothing as it is applied. You will have to apply it several times a day as the itching comes back. Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin®  will help reduce the sensation that makes you want to scratch. You can apply  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® from head to toe, but a little goes a long way.

Hyperpigmentation is darkening of skin & nails caused by increased melanin or iron deposits. It may be caused by sun damage, inflammation, or other skin injuries (such as acne vulgaris). Sun spots are hyperpigmentation due to excessive sun damage and are the most common form of uneven skin tone. The face and backs of your hands are most affected by the increase in pigmentation. There are various treatments that can reduce or remove the darkened skin, but you should consult your physician before starting any over-the counter “skin lightening by bleaching” products. Some hyperpigmentation on the lower leg, particularly around or above the ankle may be caused by iron deposits and is also called hemosiderin staining.

The micronized ingredients found in Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® assist in penetrating through the layers of the skin addressing the condition subdermally, not just topically. The combination of Oakin® and Zinc Oxide in  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin®® help breakdown and reabsorb the minute iron deposits that are trapped in the layers of the skin. Apply the  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® several times a day to the affected for optimal results. You will begin to feel a noticeable difference in your skin and a reduction in size of the hyperpigmentation. No lotion will remove all types of hyperpigmentation, as some may require laser re-surfacing by a dermatologist.

Since most people do not want to go through the expense and burning of the skin, Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® is an excellent choice to see if it will work for you. We offer an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee so apply it to the affected area and see for yourself how well it will work for you. You will find it difficult to locate an over-the-counter lotion for hyperpigmentation without a prescription.  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® does not require a prescription.

Stasis dermatitis is skin irritation and breakdown due to fluid accumulating under the skin and is the result of blood pooling under the skin due to insufficient blood return or circulation. Poor circulation in the capillaries causes fluid and cells to leak out of the capillaries. Stasis dermatitis starts around or above the ankle and gradually moves up the leg to the knee. It may start out as itchy, red, dry skin and the skin may turn shiny or have red-brown patches. There may be some swelling, but in chronic (over 3 months) cases of Stasis dermatitis, the skin may harden or tighten and become tender to the touch. The most important step in caring for Stasis dermatitis is to prevent infection. Apply Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® to your lower legs 2-3 times every day. The Oakin® and micronized Zinc will help stop the itching and reduce the redness. Use  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® to heal the stasis dermatitis before it gets worse.

In severe cases of Stasis dermatitis, the skin breakdowns and form weeping, crusty (crater-like) ulcerations (sores or wounds). These wounds require immediate treatment and you should see your healthcare provider right away. You may even be prescribed compression stockings that you wear every day to help force the fluid and blood back out of the lower leg. Use  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® to heal this wound. It is approved by the FDA to heal various kinds of wounds and sores anywhere on the body. You will be given instructions for how to care for your wound and when you should return for a check-up. Wounds caused by bad or poor circulation are the most challenging types to heal. That is why it is so very important to prevent them from occurring, while they are still a rash form of Stasis dermatitis. All Amerigel® products are backed by an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee. The only way to know if they will heal your wound is for you to try them and see for yourself how well they will work for you.

 

I have serious medical problems with my legs - I am a diabetic and prone to cracking, dry skin and infected wounds.  My medical bills in the past two years are in excess of $100,000 just for infections and hyperbaric chamber treatments.  I have been using AmeriGel Wound Dressing and Care lotion for the past month and a half.  My serious wound has healed and my legs are no longer dry and cracking.  I am so pleased with the results and suggest that doctors become familiar with your products so other patients could achieve similar results.

Tinea Pedis is the medical term for Athlete’s Foot which is a fungal infection of the toes and feet. The most common symptoms are cracked, flaking, peeling, red, itchy skin between the toes. The infected skin starts as red, itchy spots between the toes and can form blisters, cracked oozing areas and spread to the bottom (sole) of the foot to the heel. If the fungus spreads to your nails, they will become discolored, thicken, brittle and crumble.

The fungus that causes Tinea pedis lives in warm, moist environments such as locker rooms, gyms, swimming pools, showers and even Nail Salons. Proper foot care and good hygiene are the best methods of preventing the spread of Athlete’s Foot. Keeping your feet dry or changing wet/sweaty socks is important so the fungus has no place to live. Make sure if your shoes get wet that you allow them enough time to dry out in the sunshine for a couple days.

 

Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® has antifungal properties (kills fungus) and is available over-the-counter without a prescription. It is safe to apply  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin®® in between the toes which is ideal for people with diabetes, since they must moisturize their feet daily.

Chronic Dry Tinea is a recurring fungal infection on the feet. Often, their skin cannot recognize the fungus as foreign and get rid of it. After having a fungus there for a while the body's immune system learns to live with the fungus and no longer tries to get rid of it. Fungus is all around us, on floors, in dirt, and on other people. It is hard to avoid forever. It likes warmth and moisture, making certain parts of the skin more vulnerable. A fungus is a superficial skin problem, not an internal one. It does not spread by going inside the body.

A fungus sheds "spores", like tiny seeds, which wait for the right moment to grow into new fungus. The most common place for these spores to collect is in shoes. Therefore, after effective treatment, a fungus may recur quickly where spores are present. Fungus doesn't care what color the socks are. White socks offer no advantage. Chronic dry tinea is a patchy, fine, dry, scaling that goes from the bottom of the foot and up the sides (usually associated with Tinea Pedis).

Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin®is an antifungal skin conditioner that kills the fungus on the skin. It should be applied 2 – 3 times each day to the affected area(s). Once the fungal infection is gone, continue to use Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® every day to keep your skin healthy and fungus free. Don’t wear the same pair of shoes every day and if the shoes have fungus in them, they need to be treated or thrown away. For healthy feet,  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® is what you need to use every day and has an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee.

Bromhidrosis is the medical term for foot odor. One of the top causes of bromhidrosis is excessive perspiration (hyperhidrosis) and moisture, which provides a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast. When sweat and cellular debris from the bacteria and yeast begin to break down, you’ll notice a foul foot odor coming your feet. Since bromhidrosis creates an environment for the growth of germs such as bacteria and fungus, infections such as Athlete’s foot or toenail fungus may soon follow.

The most important way to relieve bromhidrosis is to keep your feet clean and dry. Shower regularly with anti-bacterial soap and change your shoes and socks often. Use insoles that can be changed frequently to prevent the odor from staying in your shoe. Wear sandals during warm weather.

Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin®  is a therapeutic skin conditioner that kills 51 different types of bacteria and fungus. Foot odor is caused by bacteria allowed to grow on the skin or in a pair of shoes. Apply Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® at least twice a day until the odor has gone away.

Ichthyosis is not one disease but a group of disorders in which there is an excess amount of scales. Severity ranges from mild to life threatening. There are a large number of types of ichthyosis; most are extremely rare. This condition tends to be worse in the dry, cold winter months and generally improve in the warmer, more humid months of summer. The most common type of ichthyosis is ichthyosis vulgaris which accounts for almost 95% of cases.   Apart from ichthyosis vulgaris all other forms of ichthyosis are very rare.

Although the signs and symptoms may vary, they all show the characteristic dry, rough, scaly skin.Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® is a therapeutic skin conditioner that penetrates down through the layers of skin to promote a healthier skin overall. The two main benefits you will find using Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® is that it is a dimethicone-based moisturizer to hydrate the dry skin and an anti-itch property to minimize itching and scratching.

Thin skin, tissue paper skin, crepe paper skin is fragile or thin skin that tears easily. There are multiple causes of thin skin, including aging, sun exposure, genetics, medication side effects, or medical conditions. As you age, your skin is thinner, more fragile, and the protective superficial fat layer is lost. In addition, your ability to sense touch, pressure, vibration, heat and cold may also be reduced. Thus, your aging skin is at higher risk for injury.

Rubbing or pulling on the skin can cause skin tears. Fragile blood vessels are easily broken. Bruises, flat or raised collections of blood may form after even a minor injury. This is most easily seen on the outside surface of the forearms, but can occur anywhere on the body. Skin changes and loss of subcutaneous fat, combined with a tendency to be less active, as well as some nutritional deficiencies and other illnesses contribute to the thinning of the skin. Aging skin repairs itself more slowly than younger skin. Thin skin also lacks moisture and sweat glands.

Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® is a therapeutic skin conditioner that penetrates down through the layers of skin to provide moisture and protect the skin from infection. When the skin contains more moisture, it feels thicker.  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® will also help eliminate bruises. Apply it several times a day to help maintain a moderate level of moisture in the skin. There is no real cure for “thin skin,” “tissue paper skin,” or “Crepe paper skin,” and as long as you apply Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® , you will have a healthier and noticeably clearer skin from bruising and some kinds of spots. If you stop using  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® , in a few days, your skin will return to that tissue paper thin skin again.  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® is backed by an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee so use it for a couple weeks and if you do not see an improvement in the way your skin looks and feels, then we will refund the full price of the product.

Rosacea is the inflammation of cheeks, nose, chin, forehead or eyelids characterized by redness, spider-like blood vessels, swelling or bumps similar to acne (Acne Rosacea). Although rosacea can affect all segments of the population, individuals with fair skin who tend to flush or blush easily are believed to be at greatest risk. The condition is more frequently diagnosed in women, but more severe symptoms tend to be seen in men, perhaps because they often delay seeking medical help until the disorder reaches advanced stages.

 

While there is no cure for rosacea and the cause is unknown, medical therapy is available to control or reverse its signs and symptoms. People such as President Clinton, W.C. Fields and Princess Diana all had some form of rosacea. The most common appearance is the pink or red mask going from one cheek to the other and includes the bridge of the nose and chin. It becomes really prominent when you blush and then you may even feel a burning sensation much like wind burn.


 Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® is our best product for helping with the symptoms of rosacea. The dimethicone helps to moisturize and protect the skin. The Oakin® will help reduce the redness as soon as you start to apply it and provides a shield to prevent any bacteria getting into the pores of the skin.  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® can be applied as needed and does not clog the pores of the skin. The micronized Zinc in  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® will penetrate down through the layers of the skin and nourish it to a healthier state.  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® is backed by an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee so use it for a couple weeks and if you do not see an improvement in the way your skin looks and feels, then we will refund the full price of the product.

You should be seen by a healthcare provider to have the rash diagnosed to know whether it is serious or not. Hives are probably the most potential to end up being life-threatening. We have two different types of lotions that can be used on a rash, Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® and  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin®.

For the past 2 years I have suffered from blistering rashes on my hands. I tried everything on the pharmacy shelf to ease the itching and pain. Nothing worked. Then my daughter saw an ad for your Amerigel products in the local newspaper. I figured it was worth a try. So I ordered the Wound Dressing and the Care lotion. Upon using your products, my hands started clearing up. It took about two weeks. I still have frequent outbreaks but I know all I have to do is apply the Care lotion and it will ease my symptoms. Thank you so much for an excellent product.

Contact Dermatitis (skin allergy) is the medical term for skin irritations resulting from contact with a foreign substance that you are allergic or sensitive to. Contact dermatitis usually takes several days to resolve and only when you are no longer in contact with the irritant. Poison ivy is the most common example of contact dermatitis.

Common symptoms are: itching of the skin, skin redness or inflammation, tenderness, localized swelling, warmth or rash at the site of exposure. You should try to find out what caused the reaction, so you will know to avoid it in the future. Sometimes taking a bath in warm water with oatmeal will help soothe most of the symptoms.

Hives are red, itchy, raised bumps on your skin and they can erupt anywhere on your body. Food or drug allergies are the most common cause. Hives is also called urticaria and is a harmless type of rash in most cases. They can be small or be several inches in size. Hives can be round, or they can form rings or large patches. They appear as welts or red lesions with a red "flare" at the borders.

Hives are unique due to their tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours. Individual hives usually last two to 24 hours. You can have an outbreak first thing in the morning and they can be completely gone by noon, only to be back in full force later in the day. Swelling deeper in the skin that may accompany hives is called angioedema. This is often seen by the swelling of the lips or eyes that can be as dramatic as it is brief.

Our best product for hives is Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin®  because it will help stop the itching and feel soothing as it is applied. You will have to apply it several times a day as the itching comes back. Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin®®will help reduce the redness and burning sensation that the hives may cause. It has an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee so don’t hesitate to try it. You can apply  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® from head to toe, but a little goes a long way. Gently rub it over the hives and you will feel the cool soothing relief and when the hives flare up again, simply apply more  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® until the hives go away. If the hives do not go away or if they get worse, you should be seen by your doctor as soon as possible. If your lips swell and you have a hard time swallowing, this should be consider serious and you should be seen in the Emergency Room.

Diaper Rash is a very common condition that can cause the skin covered by a diaper to become sore, red, scaly, and tender. The rash usually occurs because the skin is irritated by soiled diapers that are left on for too long; friction from the diaper; or certain brands of detergent, soaps, or wipes on sensitive skin. The plastic that prevents diapers from leaking also prevents air circulation, thus creating a warm, moist environment where rashes (skin problems) and yeast (a fungus called Candida albicans) can thrive. A rash caused by yeast is usually red, slightly raised (rash bumps), and has small red dots extending beyond the main part of the rash. It often starts in the creases of skin and can spread to skin on the front and back.

 

Diaper rash usually can be cleared up by checking the diaper often and changing it as soon as it is wet or soiled. Amerigel® Barrier Lotion will help soothe skin irritation and shield the skin from moisture exposure. Amerigel® Barrier Lotion contains two essential ingredients in its formulation which are superior to ordinary thick, messy, greasy zinc ointments which have to be rubbed off and further irritate the tender skin. The dimethicone in Amerigel® Barrier Lotion will shield the skin from damage due to exposure to excess moisture and feces (stool, bowel movement). Dimethicone also lubricates the skin to prevent friction from the diaper or skin rubbing against skin. The second ingredient, Oakin® ,will combat and prevent infection, like yeast. Amerigel® Barrier Lotion also contains lemon oil (citric acid) to provide a light, fresh, clean citrus scent. Gently wash the affected area during every diaper change and re-apply Amerigel® Barrier Lotion

After the diaper rash is healed, continue using Amerigel® Barrier Lotion in daily to keep the skin healthy and protected from another rash. If any skin treatment does not clear up the rash and the symptoms continue, see your healthcare provider or dermatologist. Any type of rash on skin that does not go away can get worse and possibly infected. Protect your skin with Amerigel® Barrier Lotion and soothe away your skin problem. It has an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee so don’t hesitate to try it because you have nothing to lose and relief will be on its way.

Intertrigo refers to an inflammation (red skin or red rash) of skin folds (skin that overlaps onto skin). It usually occurs on the inner thighs, armpits, underneath the breasts or a belly fat that forms rolls. The skin rash is red and raw looking and may be itchy, ooze or be a little sore. It is most often caused by two skin surfaces rubbing (friction) against each other, combined with sweat, creating a warm, moist inflamed area, especially in those who are overweight or have diabetes. Infection with bacteria or yeast (Candida albicans) can develop in scratches or cracks in the skin causing odor and discomfort.

Amerigel® Barrier Lotionn can be used to help protect and lubricate the skin. It contains Oakin® which will combat and prevent infection. The dimethicone in Amerigel® Barrier Lotionn will shield the skin from damage due to exposure to excess moisture. Dimethicone also lubricates the skin to prevent friction from skin rubbing against skin. Amerigel® Barrier Lotion contains lemon oil (citric acid) to provide a light, fresh, clean citrus scent. Wash the affected area daily with an antibacterial soap. You can also try cutting a piece of fabric (polyester/rayon blends) from absorbent socks (diabetic socks) to help wick away sweat. Cotton does absorb sweat, but once it is wet, it will stick to the surface of the skin and not be of any help at all. Just use a cotton towel or fabric to dry the affected area only.


Keeping the area dry and exposed to the air can prevent recurrences. If obese, try to lose weight. After the skin irritation is healed, continue using Amerigel® Barrier Lotion daily to keep the skin healthy. If any rash treatment does not clear up Intertrigo and the rash symptoms continue, then see your healthcare provider or dermatologist.

Recently, our housekeeping supervisor approached me regarding skin problems with workers’ hands due to extended exposure to hot water and harsh chemicals.  We have tried many different hand creams and lotions in the past, but with less-than-favorable results.  However, after just three weeks of using Amerigel Barrier lotion, all the red, chapped, and cracked hands have healed.  Although I read that your Barrier lotion was designed primarily for incontinent patients, it has certainly proved effective with our housekeeping staff and their problem hands.  I thank you!

My son, Greg, is a quadriplegic.  I have been using AmeriGel Wound Dressing and Care lotion for the past three years whenever he experiences skin rashes or pressure ulcers.  They help him heal quickly and prevent further problems.  The results are excellent.  I am very satisfied with your products and will continue to use them to help my son.

" Amerigel Care Lotion is very gentle on skin. I have extremely sensitive skin from eczema. I’ve tried tons of moisturizers but all of them made my skin break out. The Care Lotion, along with the PCA silkbalm, are the only two that calms my skin down. "
