introduction

Every year over 20,000 people in Germany develop a coccyx fistula. These inflammations, which form in the coccyx region, are mostly chronic diseases.

The fistula outlets are mostly superficial and become inflamed more or less frequently due to various factors. In almost every case, such an inflammation is a painful affair.

These corresponding therapies also include the use of ointments. Here one can distinguish the benefit that the applied ointment should bring.

Ilon - abscess ointment

The "Ilon® Abscess Ointment", which is now sold under the name "Ilon® Ointment classic", is a so-called pull ointment. It is intended to help open the focus of inflammation that arises at the fistula outlet and to accelerate healing.

Due to its plant-based ingredients, the ointment has a disinfectant effect on the tissue and thus combats germs that escape or are on the way to penetrate. The blood circulation is promoted and the dead inflammatory tissue is quickly transported away. The inflammatory tendency of the tissue is weakened by these factors and the healing process can begin. If the ointment heals the acute inflammation, this does not mean that the coccyx fistula is healed. As long as the fistula are inside the tissue, diseases (relapses) can occur again and again.

Side effects that occur in connection with the use of "Ilon® Abscess Ointment" are frequently reported.

However, these are mainly limited to itchy to burning skin rash, general itching or redness in the treated area. In some cases, applying the ointment can cause an allergic reaction. However, all side effects are described by users as being short-lived. All symptoms resolve quickly after treatment is stopped.
