Question 2

can you use ammonium lactate lotion for discoloration under your underarms.

Accepted Answer

It may help a little: but it can be irritating as it is an acid and the skin under arm is thin

Question 3

help please. could ammonium lactate cream 12% cream cause outbreaks on face and chest if used there?

Accepted Answer

Possible: It could definitely cause irritation and drying as it is a relatively strong acid. To what type of outbreaks are you referring?

Question 4

do urea/ammonium lactate combinations help protect your skin protection and why?

Accepted Answer

Healthy Skin: Ammonium lactate is a combination of ammonium hydroxide and lactic acid, acting as moisturizer for the skin. Urea acts by loosening skin thick or scaly skin cells allowing them to shed.  This combination is often used to treat rough or scaly skin conditions like those found in eczema and psoriasis and can also help soften callouses and dry/cracked skin.

Question 5

what happens if ammonium lactate 12 lotion get into the vagina.

Accepted Answer

It should be fine: The vagina can handle a lot, don't repeat it because it can cause burns i would presume, if acidic, but vaginal tissue heals quickly.  Good luck.

Question 6

can we used ammonium lactate cream 12 use on vagina area?

Accepted Answer

No: http://www.medicinenet.com/ammonium_lactate_topical/article.htm is a good article. In general it is best to not use creams in the vaginal area as they are easily absorbed unless it was prescribed for that reason and that area.

Accepted Answer

Maybe: This product can be used to soften hard, rough skin. With soaking and gentle abrasion the dry, rough skin of the feet can be made more supple.

Question 8

i have very dry skin on my face only. have tried oils, creams, lotions - some prescription. nothing works. should i try ammonium lactate skin cream?

Accepted Answer

Dry facial skin: 2 questions 1. Is it dryness?  Conditions that can have flaking and scaling on the face include seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema and others. 2. If it is dryness, it's important to eliminate things that would contribute to it, such as harsh soaps, washcloths, extensive exfoliation, fragrances/dyes, etc. Most ammonium lactate lotions are too irritating to the face. Please see a dermatologist.

Question 9

is it safe to use ammonium lactate and  triamcinolone on staph infected eczema rash. have a severe case of eczema.

Accepted Answer

Need staph treatment: Those products will help with the eczema but you also need to get proper treatment for the staph infection such as an oral antibiotic. The infection can spread and get much worse without proper treatment.
