Sunburn And Freckle Remedies.
I.—Apply over the affected skin a solution of corrosive sublimate, 1 in 500, or, if the patient can stand it, 1 in 300, morning and evening, and for the night apply emplastrum hydrargyri compositum to the spots. In the morning remove the plaster and all remnants of it by rubbing fresh butter or cold cream over the spots.
For redness of the skin apply each other day zinc oxide ointment or ointment of bismuth subnitrate.
II.—Besnier recommends removal of the mercurial ointment with green soap, and the use, at night, of an ointment composed of vaseline and Vigo’s plaster (emplastrum hydrargyri compositum), in equal parts. In the morning wash off with soap and warm water, and apply the following:
| Vaseline, white | 20 parts |
| Bismuth carbonate | 5 parts |
| Kaolin | 5 parts |
Mix, and make an ointment.
