[Benzoyl peroxide for the treatment of badly healing leg ulcers. A double-blind study (author's transl)].
According to reports in the literature and the results of our own double-blind trial benzoyl peroxide at a 20% concentration in an oil-in-water emulsion (Benoxyl 20) is a very effective medication especially in problem ulcers. The benefit probably outweighs the considerable dangers of application in the indication mentioned which may consist of a selection of certain gram-negative organisms and an epicutaneous sensitization.
