Can it be used on dogs hot spots? ## Will it hurt a dog if ingested ## Hi Denise, Personally I think it would be a good idea to contact a veterinarian before treating any animal with any medication - Regardless of whether it's a cream or pill for ingestion. The way their system reacts/responds to many types of drugs can be vastly different from what we perceive as normal, so it's better to be overly safe than take even a slight risk with our pets. Something else worth noting is that if the cream isn't used properly, one of its active ingredients (Betamethasone - a steroid) may make some skin conditions worse off. I wish only the best for you and your pet! ## Our vet usually prescribes Otomax for any hot spots/infections, which has the same ingredients as Gelmicin. So it SHOU...

Can gelmicin cream be used to heal a wart crater scab ## Hello, Wana! How are you? Nothing is really going to heal it any faster, a scab will just have to finish up its natural process and fall away on its own. Or did you mean that it's scar tissue from a healed wart removal? If so, that will likely always remain.

I just got a tube of Gelmincin. My grandson had a severe case of eczema, red itchy on back of leg arms and back ...just want to know if anyone had used it for their eczema and get some feedback on the usage. ## Hello, Faith13! How are you and your grandson? I'd suggest not using it on him, without doctor's approval. Using the wrong thing may actually make it worse. Gelmicin contains a topical steroid, an antibiotic and antifungal medication. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including skin irritation, redness, dryness and itching. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you for your reply.

Can Gelmicin be used for ringworm and if so is it effective? ## Hello, Robert! How are you?

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation and dryness. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Appreciate your response my question.

I've been breaking out lately and have had many big nasty red pimples, so I was wondering if I used this would it clear it up??? ## Hello, Girly! How are you? You shouldn't use a prescription product, if it wasn't prescribed for you and, since this one is not formulated to treat acne, it could actually contain something that might make it worse. Have you consulted your doctor? Are you on any other medications? Has anything changed in your diet or skin care routine recently? ## Can I use Gelmicin to get rid of stretch marks? ## Can Gelmicin be used to help fade deep acne scars? ## Yes, it’s better to use unscented lotions.

Can you use this cream for lupus break out on the skin ## Hello, Cathy! How are you? Usually, oral medications are used, to they work systemically to alleviate as many symptoms, as possible. I'm not sure if a topical cream would do much to help, but you could check with your doctor to see what they think. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation, dryness and itching. Are you on any medications? ## I have skin discolouration & it appears as if it's possibly spreading or maybe I'm developing a skin rash but will Gelmicin help if I apply it?

My husband used Gelmicin cream that we picked up from Mexico on a diabetic ulser he had on his toe for over a year that was cracking and taking a long time to heal but not infected. He used the Gelmicin cream on it and after 3 days it is healing fantastic, almost gone actually. I am looking for this cream in Alberta and so far no luck!!!

Can someone please tell me where and how to get this cream in the US? I can't get to Mexico. ## Your local swap meet or any Mexican stores (not like north gate or anything like that ) ## @Shari, From what I've read, two of Gelmicin's ingredients (Betamethasone + Gentamicin) appear to be available by prescription-only here in the US. Clotrimazole is also reportedly available OTC or via prescription depending on the dosage. Having said that, I think your best bet may be to make an appointment with a doctor and have he/she write you a script. You could then take that Rx to a (compounding) pharmacy to see if they'll be able to formulate something similar to Gelmicin per your doctor's request. I know this sounds like a hassle but it's still probably more feasible than...

I've been suffering with KP since I was 15 now I'm 18 and I still have them. can anybody help me out? is there anything that can cure kp ??? I have tried numerous of creams but never seen a difference.. please reply back! I would appreciate. thanks ## Hello, Sasa! How are you? Gelmicin can be used, but only if your doctor has instructed you to use it. Treatment is usually only undertaken for cosmetic reasons and most doctors typically prescription retinoids, such as Tretinoin or steroid creams. What others have you tried? The side effects to these types of creams, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include skin redness, flaking and irritation.
