Abstract: The present invention describes an extremely effective, simple, novel, inexpensive, safe and quick method to treat both acne and warts, each with a different etiology and different clinical symptoms, by topically applying an effective amount of one or more polyvalent metal compounds. The polyvalent metal compounds include, but are not limited to, bismuth compounds, zinc compounds, magnesium compounds, aluminum compounds, calcium compounds, copper compounds, titanium compounds, manganese compounds, chromium compounds, barium compounds and iron compounds. The present invention can also be applied to the treatment of rosacea. The present invention can also be employed to prevent scarring and to facilitate healing or elimination of the scars once formed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a topical method for providing highly effective analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and tissue-regenerating activities for the hitherto most effective prophylaxis and treatment of aphthous ulcers and herpes simplex lesions and for the effective treatment of burns and other oral mucosal lesions as well as for prophylaxis and treatment of gingivitis, periodontitis and tooth mobility comprising topically administering to the affected tissue an effective amount of a composition comprised of one or more safe and efficacious polyvalent metal compounds such as magnesium sulfate and aluminum potassium sulfate alone or preferably with one or more safe and efficacious anti-inflammatory compounds, such as a novel ultra-low-strength (0.02%) hydrocortisone acetate, that potentiate the activities of polyvalent metal compounds.
