Primary Axillary Hyperhidrosis
Sweating is a part of life, but for the millions who sweat excessively, sweating may seem like the focus of their life. That’s because of a medical condition called hyperhidrosis. People diagnosed with hyperhidrosis under the arms (that is not due to another condition or a side effect of medication) have primary axillary hyperhidrosis.
QBREXZA is a prescription medication used on the skin to treat excessive underarm sweating (primary axillary hyperhidrosis) in people 9 years of age and older.
Do not use QBREXZA if you have certain medical conditions that can be made worse by taking an anticholinergic medicine such as glaucoma, severe ulcerative colitis (UC) or certain other serious bowel problems associated with UC, myasthenia gravis, and Sjogren’s syndrome.
Sweating helps to regulate your body’s temperature. But people with axillary hyperhidrosis sweat more under their arms than the body requires. And the results can range from noticeable pit stains to fully drenched shirts.
Severe Recalcitrant Nodular Acne
Severe recalcitrant nodular acne is another way of saying severe acne with large, painful bumps that don’t go away with other acne medicines. Patients with severe recalcitrant nodular acne are at higher risk of scarring.
Accutane is used to treat a type of severe acne (nodular acne) that has not been helped by other treatments, including antibiotics.
Accutane can harm your unborn baby, including birth defects (deformed babies), loss of a baby before birth (miscarriage), death of the baby, and early (premature) births. Patients who are pregnant or who plan to become pregnant must not take Accutane. Accutane can cause serious mental health problems, including depression, psychosis, and suicide.
Please see the Medication Guide and full Prescribing Information here for Boxed Warning, Contraindications, other important Warnings and Precautions, Drug Interactions, Use in Specific Populations, and other Adverse Reactions.
There are four main causes of the development of severe nodular acne: excess oils, slower skin cell turnover, bacterial growth and inflammation.
Excess oils: the oily substance that protects your skin can contribute to acne when too much is produced.
Slower skin cell turnover: dead skin cells that normally just fall off can get stuck in skin oils instead and clog your pores.
Bacterial growth: a specific bacteria that is normally harmless begins to multiply if it gets trapped in a clogged pore.
Inflammation: multiplying bacteria trigger inflammation that results in red, swollen, painful and pus-filled pimples.

Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States and can affect up to 50 million Americans every year. By the age of 21, more than 90% of males and 80% of females will have experienced acne, and the condition can continue into adulthood.

Acne occurs when hair follicles are clogged with oils and dead skin cells. Hormones play a central role in the development of acne, which could be further aggravated by stress, environmental factors, over-washing or using harsh skin products, excessive touching of the face and diet. Acne can appear on the face, forehead, shoulders, back and chest in the form of whiteheads, blackheads or pimples and is often accompanied by oily skin.

Important Safety Information
There are a number of foods and situations that can trigger rosacea symptoms, such as alcohol, hot or spicy foods, sweat, sun exposure and extreme temperatures.
Although your rosacea may not be affected by every trigger, it’s important to be aware of them. Make a note of your activities on the days you experience flare-ups to help pinpoint which rosacea triggers to avoid in the future.
Emotional stress can also be a cause and a symptom of rosacea. Feeling embarrassed, frustrated, or anxious regarding your rosacea is natural. Know that you are not alone. There are resources and support for you and for the millions in the U.S. like you who have rosacea.

Important Safety Information
Athlete’s Foot
Athlete’s foot, also known as tinea pedis, is a common fungal infection affecting the superficial skin of the foot. Up to 25% of Americans are affected by this condition at any one time. The infection most often starts in the space between the toes and can be accompanied by redness, itching, cracked skin and bad odors. It can be spread through contact with infected skin flakes or contact with fungi in damp areas such as public showers, pool areas or locker rooms, and can be exacerbated by wearing restrictive footwear and/or sweaty socks.
Jock Itch
Jock itch, also known as tinea cruris, affects the skin of the groin, buttocks and upper thighs, especially in athletes. These areas are particularly susceptible to infection due to the presence of sweat and moisture, which creates perfect conditions for fungal growth. Jock itch presents as a highly visible, scaly plaque with a raised edge, with symptoms including an uncomfortable, itchy rash on the groin, which may be painful if the skin is breaking down due to excess moisture.
Ringworm
Ringworm, also known as tinea corporis, is a fungal infection affecting the trunk, neck, arms and legs, and does not have anything to do with worms. In the United States, 1 in 5 cases of these fungal skin infections are due to ringworm. Ringworm typically presents with a visible, itchy, red rash and single or multiple lesions with raised borders that spread from a core, giving it the characteristic ring shape.
Pityriasis
Pityriasis, also known as tinea versicolor, is caused by yeasts, which are a type of fungi that causes the skin to appear lighter, darker or redder than surrounding unaffected skin. It most commonly occurs on the chest and back, but other affected areas include upper arms, neck and face. Pityriasis is most noticeable during the summer months, when the affected areas do not tan as easily as normal skin. Symptoms include patches of discolored skin, mild itching and scaling of skin. It is not contagious or painful.
Wounds, Abrasions, Skin Ulcers, Sunburn & Donor Site Wounds
Minor cuts and scrapes, superficial wounds and abrasions are a common part of everyday life. It only takes one false move with a potato peeler to cut yourself or a stumble off of a curb to scrape your knee. Though these conditions may not seem very serious, they can cause redness, irritation, inflammation and pain, and become infected if left untreated. Proper wound care and application of topical treatments can reduce the risk of scarring. It takes three months for the wounded area to almost achieve pre-trauma strength; however, the entire healing process could take a few years.
Luxamend Wound Cream is indicated for the treatment of full thickness and superficial wounds, pressure sores, dermal ulcers, 1st and 2nd degree burns, dermal donor and graft site management, radiation dermatitis, and minor abrasions.
Luxamend is contraindicated for use on bleeding wounds, skin rashes related to food or medicine allergies, and when an allergy to one of the ingredients is known.
Sunburn remains one of the most common and preventable skin injuries. It is caused by overexposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) through indoor tanning beds or outdoor sunlight. Symptoms include mild to severe redness, skin warmth and tenderness, blistering, swelling and pain. Treatment of sunburn should begin as soon as you notice the symptoms.
Skin ulcers are caused by factors affecting the normal healing of the skin such as problems with blood circulation or injury/pressure. Some of the symptoms include pain, bleeding, discharge, bad odor and itching. With inadequate treatment, skin ulcers can deteriorate and develop complications such as infections, pain and sepsis.
