Reviews

We picked up some feedback from people about the Baneocin drug:

Gleb. With a fright it smeared 10 days, and it was necessary less longly, the wound was first wiped with fukortsin. I have long wounds healed, I thought that it did not heal in 7 days, but in vain. Redness appeared, two days after cessation of treatment. Most likely, an allergy.
Sasha. The child at the time was bitten by a dog. The dressings were done every day until the inflammation began. Spit on our doctors and their ointments, began to pour Baneoctin. A day later, the wound was gone and the wound began to dry out, after 5 days, they were able to leave for the South. Very good tool!
Olga. If pimples appear on the face, then often people try different means. Baneocin is an effective treatment for acne. Very convenient form of the preparation. When applying baneocin, the wound heals in 2-3 days. This is a very fast effect. Therefore, the drug is super. The price is democratic. To treat acne, any means are good. Baneocin is a good choice.
Yaroslav. Very long ago I was operated on and wounds could not heal for a long time, so I was prescribed a baneocin, all surprisingly very quickly healed. Now, of course, we can use it incorrectly in almost all cases, if it is necessary for the wound to heal faster. For example, I cut a leg (sole) and I had to use medical glue, but she was constantly torn and again began to bleed. To make it healed, there were no options, every day the wound was torn only I got up on my feet. Later he began to smear baneoocin for the night, literally in three days it became much easier for me. So now we use it constantly.
Kate. I met my medication when my little daughter had chicken pox. First, I traditionally decided to "cover up" all the rashes of zelenok. But our pediatrician convinced me that this is the last century and advised Baneocin in powder. The result: no unaesthetic green spots and wetting wounds, rapid healing of rashes. I am pleased!
