Periguard ointment is manufactured by DermaRite industries and I would like to know if anyone else out there is having or has had problems with this ointment turning lumpy. The lumps making it like you are applying small curd cottage cheese. At first, if small enough they could be smoothed out during application but in the latest applications, they failed to disappear and stuck to the skin which involved being removed manually or a double bath. Purchased this through Vitality Medical. Thanks!
It has antimicrobial properties. (did not look at ingredients but probably the same as what Athletes foot and Jock Itch products have) it also contains zinc and aloe.
These products were pretty heavy on my Husbands skin so I always cut them about 50/50 with A & D ointment.
And do not rub the product in pat it on. That leaves a lighter more easily removed layer and patting it is more gentle than rubbing.
For the particular one you have I would contact both the Supplier (Vitality Medical) and complain about it and I would contact the manufacturer. It is possible that the product was stored improperly causing it to change.
