My research on zinc chloride (ingredient in xxterra) indicates that it can tend to absorb into malignant tissue better but that it most certainly will affect normal tissue. In fact, one journal article I read used zinc chloride as an irritant to test the effectiveness of barrier creams at preventing irritation.<br /><br />By what mechanism would it be so selective in the cells it affects? <br /><br />In any case, the skin that peeled off was normal tissue. The growth is very small (less than a pencil eraser before treatment) and it no longer protrudes but is flush with the skin, so it has improved.<br /><br />The raw area looks much better today so I think the bit of polysporin was a good thing. I'm not applying it over the warty area, as I mentioned in the post.RuckusButthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760056031442317243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2146995948798827920.post-77363092167882577492011-12-16T15:49:24.030-05:002011-12-16T15:49:24.030-05:00What Kate said, you bad horse mom !

It doesn't affect normal tissue. It doesn't hurt the horse as sarcoid tissue doesn't have normal nerve endings. Just finish the treatment and soon it will dry up and fall off. Our Dawn had a large sarcoid and the treatment worked great - it never has come back. Don't pick at it or put anything on it or cover it as then the treatment won't work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2146995948798827920.post-63119481503687693802011-12-16T06:44:06.933-05:002011-12-16T06:44:06.933-05:00You aren't a bad horse mom! lol A bad horse m...You aren't a bad horse mom! lol A bad horse mom would just leave the sarcoid/wound alone and hope that it went away on its own!<br /><br />I know very little about horse wound treatment... I'm sure you'll figure out the right thing to do. I've heard that xterra is hard on the skin, so protecting the surrounding area ahead of time sounds like a good idea. Alot of horse creams seem to melt and run a bit, so maybe that is what happened or he rubbed it a bit?<br /><br />I know for human wounds, I've had better luck using antibiotic cream to keep the area moist - less scarring that way. The old school way was to let everything dry out.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736592362765508427noreply@blogger.com
