Is ZymaDerm OK to use on all parts of the body?
ZymaDerm may safely be applied to the face, genitals, and all other areas of the skin. You may use on the lips but not in the oral cavity such as the inside of the cheeks (buccal mucosa) or on the tongue. Care should be taken to avoid getting ZymaDerm in the eyes as it will sting. If this should happen, flush with lots of warm tap water. Each bottle comes with a glass rod applicator or a small brush to facilitate application to the molluscum bump and minimize contact with normal skin. ZymaDerm is non-caustic and will not harm normal skin, but an occasional sensitization of the skin can occur resulting in some redness and irritation. For molluscum bumps near the eye, one customer kindly shared this idea with us: use the head of a pin (not the pointed end…ouch!) to apply enough ZymaDerm to moisten the bump but not so much that it runs off into the eye. Thank you for that useful suggestion! ZymaDerm is NOT TO BE TAKEN INTERNALLY as it contains iodine.
