Teymurov's undeservedly forgotten ointment, which can be purchased at any pharmacy at a surprisingly low price, will help to cope with this problem.

The drug owes its effectiveness to its unique composition.

The product contains the following active ingredients (their mass fraction is indicated in grams per 100 g of the finished ointment):

• Boric acid (7.0 g). It is one of the most well-known antiseptics. The substance has pronounced antifungal and antimicrobial properties. In addition, the compound also acts as a preservative, which contributes to the preservation of the therapeutic activity of other components of Teymurov's paste.
• Salicylic acid (1.4 g). The compound also has antiseptic properties, however, in terms of the strength of the antimicrobial effect, it is significantly inferior to boric acid. In addition, this substance inhibits the secretion of sweat and sebaceous glands. Thanks to this action, Teymurov's ointment (paste) is also used to treat acne and cleanse the skin from acne.
• Zinc oxide (25.0 g). Even in ancient Egypt, healers used various zinc-based ointments as an effective remedy for the rapid healing of wounds and the treatment of inflammatory rashes. This compound dries out the skin, inhibits the secretion of apocrine glands. In addition, zinc oxide prevents the decomposition of sweat and the development of pathogenic flora. These processes are the cause of a strong unpleasant odor.
• Sodium tetraborate or borax (7.0 g). They also have antiseptic properties against bacterial and fungal flora.
• Talc (25.0 g). It is a naturally occurring mineral that is a complex combination of magnesium and silicon. As part of Teymurov's paste, this substance prevents sweating, chafing and irritation of the skin, the appearance of diaper rash and an unpleasant odor.
• Methenamine (3.5 g). The substance has a pronounced antimicrobial activity.
• Formaldehyde or formalin (3.5 g). It has a strong antiseptic effect and has an astringent effect.
• Lead acetate (0.3 g). Like zinc, this substance has a drying effect, prevents the development of pathogenic flora, and reduces the secretion of sweat and sebaceous glands.
• Glycerin (12.0 g). Although it belongs to the class of auxiliary compounds, glycerin itself softens the skin. With regular application of the cream - Teymurov's paste, calluses and corns gradually disappear on the feet.
• Peppermint essential oil (0.3 g). It cools and refreshes the skin. It has a deodorant and antimicrobial effect.

Additionally, Teymurov's paste contains a solvent (water) and emulsifiers that help maintain the proper consistency of the ointment.

Some patients suffering from hyperhidrosis refuse to use the drug and select analogues (in the form of sprays or roll-on antiperspirants) due to the fact that Teymurov's cream is prohibited for outside the CIS. This is due to the presence of formaldehyde and lead in the composition. Boric acid is also avoided in many countries.

• elimination of symptoms of hyperhidrosis;
• normalization of the activity of sweat and sebaceous glands;
• prevention of the development of pathogenic flora, which often becomes the cause of various dermatoses;
• deodorization of the skin, elimination of a sharp unpleasant odor of sweat.
