Solidol for psoriasis: medicinal properties, recipes, reviews

Solid oil for dermatological diseases is a mixture of technological oils that have previously undergone industrial processing and were exposed to high temperatures for a long time until the mass becomes homogeneous, as thick and plastic as possible. To achieve the viscosity effect, calcium salts and mixtures of fatty acids are added to technical oils, which give the solid oil a stable form. In appearance, solid oil, intended for treating diseased areas of the skin, has a brown or dark yellow color. The substance repels water and it is very difficult to wash it off without using special phosphate-based detergents. In the composition of medical solid oil you can find components such as calcium salts or soap based on them - 18%, alkaline compounds - 0.2%, water - 3%. Everything else is technical types of oils, which, before going through the industrial cycle, were oilseed waste or a product of the petrochemical industry.

Secret characteristics of solid oil for various skin ailments

Ointments for dermatological diseases made on the basis of solid oil have been used in modern medicine for several decades. Solidol and its active components have proven their effectiveness in the treatment of the most complicated forms of skin sores. Even patients suffering from such a serious illness as psoriasis note an improvement in the condition of the affected areas of the skin, accelerated regeneration of epidermal tissue cells and the entry into stable remission of the disease.

In general, the secret characteristics of solid oil lie in its following properties:

• the degree of peeling of the skin and the death of keratinized areas of the dermis are reduced;
• pain and itching are reduced;
• the area of ​​skin affected by a dermatological disease is reduced, and if it is in the acute stage, the inflammation process is reduced to a minimum;
• painful areas of the skin recover much faster;
• ulcerative and wound formations that arise as a result of infectious or viral destruction of the epithelial layer are healed;
• reduces the degree of skin scarring after healing of open wounds.

A large number of modern medications for skin diseases contain simply a huge percentage of medical solid oil. The effectiveness of each product depends not only on the general basis of the medication, but also on other active ingredients that have a supportive effect on the healing process of diseased skin.

The most popular ointments

Ungwethol

The active ingredient of the ointment is trinitrotoluene (TNT). Its share is 1.5%. Also includes:

• fat grease – 90%;
• sunflower oil;
• resorcinol;
• boric acid;
• benzoic acid;
• dimethyl sulfoxide;
• menthol.

Ungvetol has a pronounced antimicrobial and fungicidal effect. Reviews from experts indicate a fairly high effectiveness of using this ointment with solid oil in the treatment of psoriasis. In patients with the stationary stage of the disease, significant improvement occurs in 70% of cases (subject to an appropriate diet). Relapses are associated with the presence of provoking factors: poor diet, infectious diseases or mental trauma.

Magnipsor

This is one of the most popular ointments for psoriasis based on solid oil, which effectively eliminates the external manifestations of the disease. During the production of ointment, the DV is combined with an ointment base (fatty grease) with further processing of the resulting compound. Magipsor has a keratolytic, resolving and reducing effect.

The active ingredients of the ointment are:

• mineral components (including Dead Sea salts);
• alcoholic herbal extracts;
• root extracts of medicinal plants (burdock, etc.);
• vegetable oils: pumpkin, sea buckthorn, tea tree.

In case of persistent addiction to the base drug, analogues are prescribed: Magnipsor-5, Magnipsor-S. Magnipsor-M. The affected areas are lubricated up to 2 times a day. The ointment can be washed off after 2 days (if necessary, daily rinsing is possible). The duration of treatment is 1-1.5 months. In rare cases, itching and skin irritation may occur.

Antipsor

The components of the ointment are:

• complex oil and water extracts of medicinal plants: calendula, tripartite, birch leaves, celandine, marsh cudweed;
• elements of the chitinous pattern of the Pacific fauna.

The fat base consists of:

• lanolin;
• medical Vaseline;
• linseed oil;
• camphor;
• fat grease.

Treatment of psoriasis with Antipsor lasts on average 20-70 days. The product may cause allergies. Its manifestations are:

• worsening itching;
• the appearance of a pustular rash;
• swelling of the treated area.

Which one to use - technical or medical solid oil?

If the task is to cure a skin disease that significantly reduces the patient’s quality of life, then, of course, it is necessary to use medical solidol, available without a prescription in retail pharmacy chains.

Technical solid oil is similar in its therapeutic properties to medical products of the same type, but still it is not sufficiently purified and contains a large number of chemical impurities, alkali, calcium salts, caustic soda and other substances not needed by the human body. The main purpose of technical grease is to lubricate mechanical structures and parts subject to active friction in order to reduce metal wear and continue the service of the mechanism.

Medical solid oil is produced for only one purpose - to provide assistance to a person suffering from a dermatological disease.

Precautionary measures

In some cases, solid oil can cause allergies. To avoid this, before starting treatment you need to conduct a test: lubricate the skin near the elbow with ointment. If no reaction occurs within 30 minutes, you can apply grease to a small area with psoriatic rashes. If itching, peeling or redness increases, the product should not be used.

The best results can be achieved by combining local treatment with solidol with cleansing the body and following an appropriate diet. An important condition for the effectiveness of therapy is also the elimination of stress.

Solidol - or, as it was previously called, grease - is a plastic thick lubricant based on calcium soap. Its functional temperature is about 70 degrees. The color is light yellow or brown. It is practically indelible with water, so it is mainly used in the mechanical industry: in devices that operate in conditions of high humidity and are not exposed to heat.

For what skin diseases is solidol used and how?

Medical solid oil is actively used to treat a wide variety of dermatological pathologies. Most often this drug is used to treat the following diseases, namely:

Psoriasis

This autoimmune disease of the upper layer of the skin, leading to loss of its functionality, covers the body with red spots that flake and itch severely throughout the day. Solidol helps reduce itching, prevents the disease from occupying new, still healthy areas of the skin, relieves the inflammatory process, and also reduces the intensity of peeling of dead epithelial particles.

Atopic dermatitis

Medical solid oil stops the focus of dermatological damage and gradually completely eliminates the symptoms of the disease. Thanks to this, most patients with this diagnosis do not use hormonal drugs and are able to maintain the health of the endocrine system.

Allergy

The manifestation of an allergic reaction to external and internal irritants can be very diverse and sometimes even unpredictable. These are skin rashes of an allergic type. Then pimples and red spots form on the skin, which itch and hurt. Applying an even layer of medical grease to the skin soothes the inflamed epidermal tissue and helps the patient to withstand the manifestation of allergies with dignity. The effect is enhanced several times if the patient, at the same time as treating allergic foci with solid oil, also takes antihistamines orally.

Neurodermatitis

One of the most complex dermatological pathologies from the point of view of the impact of traditional medications on it. The disease occurs as a result of systemic dysfunction of the central and peripheral nervous systems. The patient experiences constant itching of the skin, constantly scratching the same areas until wounds and severe irritation form on the skin. Subsequently, inflammation occurs and the clinical picture of neurodermatitis looks very impressive. Medical solid oil helps to avoid all these negative consequences due to the fact that its constant use reduces the skin irritation factor and eliminates the feeling of itching.

Eczema

This disease can be infectious or parasitic in origin. Regardless of the type of pathology, solid oil shows the same effectiveness and contributes to the patient’s rapid recovery. Of course, for such ailments, the ointment should be used as an auxiliary element in complex therapy. First of all, the patient must get rid of the infectious pathogen that destroys the skin surface, or parasitic life forms (scabies mite).

If necessary and therapeutically appropriate, solidol can be used as a primary or additional agent in the treatment of other dermatological diseases. This is already determined by the attending physician based on the indicators of the tests performed and the external clinical picture of the disease. Solid oil is applied in an even layer over the entire surface of the diseased area of ​​skin, covering the edges of healthy epidermal tissue.

In most cases, it is recommended to apply the ointment in the morning and evening after taking water procedures so that the skin is cleansed of dirt and grease.

Litol - description, characteristics and applicability.

Litol grease was developed in the Soviet Union in the 70-80s of the 20th century as a material that, over time, is intended to completely replace grease.

Mineral oil thickened with lithium soaps of stearic acids is used as a lithol base. This thickener made it possible to expand the range of operating temperatures - the lubricant works perfectly up to +120...+130 °C.

The most famous and versatile material from the series is Litol-24. The additives this composition contains prevent the process of accelerated oxidation of the lubricant. The consistency, load-bearing capacity, water-repellent properties and many other characteristics of the material turned out to be sufficient for its use in most components of modern mechanisms.

Currently, Litol is perhaps the most universal and multifunctional lubricant for mechanisms operating under normal operating conditions.

Contraindications

Medical solid oil is well tolerated by the body of patients of various age groups, but still, like any other medicine, it has its medical contraindications. They are as follows, namely:

1. State of pregnancy and lactation. Women who are carrying a child under their hearts and breastfeeding their baby should refuse to use medical solid oil in its pure form and ointments made on its basis. The caveat is that despite all the thoroughness of cleaning the medicine from chemical impurities, a small part of them still remains in the oil base of the drug. They are not dangerous for an adult, but they can cause significant harm to a child’s body. First of all, the liver and kidneys will be affected, as the main organs that filter and utilize pathogenic components.
2. The use of herbal medicine. It is not advisable to simultaneously treat dermatological diseases with decoctions, baths, tinctures and extracts of medicinal herbs and grease. This will lead to a decrease in the therapeutic effect of both types of medications.
3. Ultraviolet treatment. After treating the diseased areas of the skin with medical grease, a fatty film forms. If at the same time the patient also receives therapy with direct ultraviolet rays, then the result of such treatment may result in a burn and inflammation of the skin. The thing is that ultraviolet rays can penetrate through this greasy layer of solid oil, but they will not return back. The result is a greenhouse effect on the wound surface and irritation of diseased skin.
4. Age up to 12 years. Before reaching this age barrier, children should not receive treatment with grease for the reason that the ointment can clog skin pores that have not yet opened and subsequently lead to their expansion. This threatens with secondary inflammatory processes, infection, formation of boils, carbuncles and purulent abscesses.
5. Oncology. Malignant formations on the surface of the skin, as well as wound and ulcerative surfaces formed as a result of the presence of a tumor, are not subject to therapy with solid oil. In such cases, chemicals, cytostatics, radio irradiation, and in some cases surgical intervention will be required.

Before starting treatment for dermatological diseases using solidol, it is imperative to first consult with your doctor. It is quite possible that a specialist will identify other health problems that will exclude the possibility of using ointments made on the basis of grease.

Types of product

In addition to industries directly related to mechanics, solid oil is also used for medicinal purposes. And gardeners use it in its pure form as a garden varnish , lubricating cut areas on trees with it so that pests and fungi do not penetrate into them.

There are two types of solid oils:

• fatty - when thickening industrial oils of medium viscosity, fatty acids of plant origin are used;
• synthetic - oils of synthetic fatty acids are used.

Fatty acids are of much higher quality, they are difficult to distinguish externally, and there are no negative consequences when mixing them.

Solid oil and press solid oil differ in thickness. Press grease is softer , but it has a lower upper temperature threshold, and it decomposes at 80 C. It is used through a grease nipple to lubricate mechanisms.

Solid oils also include USsA graphite lubricant, which has a silvery tint. The composition includes about ten percent of ground graphite-P, which gives it increased extreme pressure properties and conductivity. USsA graphite lubricant was necessary to lubricate the springs. And due to its high electrical conductivity , it was used in conductive elements: antennas, battery terminals.

Lubricants of this type were used to lubricate the front suspension joints on most domestic cars. They were often replaced due to joint leaks and the low stability of the lubricant itself, which decomposes and becomes contaminated during operation. When injecting, a new portion of it lubricated the hinge and squeezed out the contamination along with the old coating.

Solid oils were used to lubricate various lightly loaded, hard-to-reach sliding pairs: elements of door locks, window regulators, all kinds of levers, hand brakes, pedal bushings, door hinges, etc.

Significantly later GAZ cars had a redesigned suspension , which had reduced design clearances, increased hinge tightness, needle bearings of the kingpins and a combined lower grease nipple, through which the lower bearing of the kingpin and the threaded bushing were lubricated. A ban was imposed on the use of grease in these components in order to prevent coking. This forced technicians to start using liquid oil.

The emulsion variety is used to cool cutting zones during mechanical processing of ferrous metals.

Due to their water-repellent properties, grease is used as a preservation lubricant to help metal parts and tools made from high-speed steel last longer. In the last century, grease was used to lubricate artillery shells for preservation purposes.

Advantages of technical solid oil

Solidol has the following advantages:

• Grease grease is of better quality than synthetic lubricants. You can mix different brands of it and not have negative consequences.
• Solidol is more water resistant than litol and cyatim.
• Under the influence of heavy loads, it is less destructible and has a longer shelf life than cyatim. However, it is inferior to synthetic lubricants in terms of operating temperature limits under normal loads.
• Non-toxic.
• Not fire hazardous.

Technical characteristics of lithol

“Petroleum oil” was also used in its manufacture, only with a different density. If everything was used on Solidol, then on Litol a certain density of 60-80 g/m3 is selected, and lithium soap is added. Aggressive compounds that corroded silicone anthers were removed, and anti-corrosion impurities were added to better protect metal surfaces.

Lithol has many advantages, and the main thing is that it easily maintains a temperature of 120-125 degrees and does not collapse. Operates down to extremely subzero temperatures of 40−45 degrees. Waterproof, almost not washed out by water. This is a universal remedy for excessively damp areas.

Lithol has few disadvantages, only one - it is active, when it comes into contact with aluminum, it corrodes it.

Excess exudate

If there are no crusts or necrosis in the wound, then the technique of local negative pressure can be used for active outflow of exudate. For these purposes, the PICO wound treatment device is used, which creates a constant outflow of purulent exudate from the wound, which is accompanied by a decrease in tissue swelling, a decrease in the number of bacteria in the wound, as a result, the inflammatory reaction subsides, and the growth of new tissues begins, the vessels that fill the wound begin the epithelium grows, the edges of the wound gradually come closer together and the wound heals. When using this device, there is no need to carry out dressings daily. It is enough to change the dressings on average once every three days.

For passive drainage of exudate from the wound, absorbent dressings of your choice are used:

1. Carbonet. This multi-layer dressing perfectly absorbs viscous purulent exudate, and, thanks to a layer of activated carbon, absorbs the odor that often accompanies purulent wounds. Since Carbonet does not contain antimicrobial components, dressings on purulent wounds must be changed daily.
2. NEOFIX polyurethane sponge dressings with silver - NEOFIX FibroSorb AG and NEOFIX FibroSorb AG Sacrum. Silver in dressings provides antimicrobial effect.

Sponge dressings absorb liquid exudate and retain it in their structure even under pressure, for example, under compression bandages or underwear (stockings, stockings, tights), which are one of the main attributes of the treatment of trophic venous ulcers. NEOFIX FibroSorb AG sponge dressing
without adhesive edge is indicated for wounds where the skin around which is damaged.
Such a bandage requires additional fixation with a bandage or adhesive roll bandages NEOFIX ROLL, or OpSite Flexifix, always only around the perimeter, without covering its central part with adhesive patches. This is necessary to prevent maceration of the skin and wound. NEOFIX FibroSorb AG Sacrum bandage
with a sticky edge, specially shaped for fixation in the sacrum area, while the skin around the wound should be dry and healthy, without any disturbances. The bandage protects the wound from the ingress of urine, feces, as well as from the penetration of external liquids during hygiene procedures.

When using NEOFIX FibroSorb AG and NEOFIX FibroSorb AG Sacrum dressings for wound treatment, there is no need to change dressings daily. It is recommended to change the dressing once every 2-3 days, depending on the degree of filling of the dressing with exudate.
