Abstract: A deodorizer device for controlling body odor comprises a structure having an external metal oxide surface with a contour to contact the surface of the skin where perspiration is produced and is degraded by bacterial organisms on the skin into body odor. The metal oxide surface is reactable with water supplied to the surface of the skin to render the bacterial organisms ineffectual to degrade perspiration later produced on the skin into body odor. The deodorizer device together with a water source form a deodorizer system. A method of controlling body odor involves supplying water to the surface of the skin where perspiration is produced and is degraded by bacterial organisms into body odor and, at the same time, contacting the surface of the skin with a metal oxide surface of a deodorizer device.

Abstract: A topical treatment for abnormal biological conditions occurring on an anatomical surface of a body comprises a treatment substance including chromium oxide, an iron compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in a consistency for topical application to the anatomical surface of the body. A method of treating an abnormal biological condition occurring on an anatomical surface of a body involves applying a treatment substance comprising chromium oxide, an iron compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to the site of an actual or potential abnormal biological condition on the anatomical surface of the body. Treatment involves correction of an actual abnormal biological condition or prevention of a potential abnormal biological condition.
