FORMULATIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF WOUNDS AND INFLAMMATORY SKIN CONDITIONS

The disclosure of the present application includes topically administrable compositions and methods for treating wounds and inflammatory conditions of the skin in mammals. In an exemplary embodiment, the composition includes a therapeutic amount of antihistamine selected from the group consisting of a non-sedating antihistamine, a physiologically acceptable acid of a non-sedating antihistamine, a salt of a non-sedating antihistamine, an amide of a non-sedating antihistamine, and a combination of two or more of these; a therapeutic amount of creatine; a therapeutic amount of creatinine; and emu oil product selected from the group consisting of emu oil, a biologically active fraction of emu oil, and a combination of these. The combination of non-sedating antihistamine, creatine, and creatinine with emu oil has been found to produce a synergistic effect that is more effective in the treatment of skin wounds than the compounds used separately.
