This invention relates to a new more effective method for problems such as hemorrhoids, vulvo-vaginitis, or similar problems. The reason is that the applicant has observed that the regular dressings and medicated gauzes, the medications will be absorbed by the gauze and may diffuse and contaminate the opposing dress or underwear. Also, when used over places such as abscess, and areas that needs drainage, the pressure over the wound may prevent proper draining. In other cases such as hemorrhoids, the problem is both internal and external, which is also true about vaginitis in which case the involvement is the infection and inflammation of both the inner female organ and the external genitalia. In these circumstances using the medication internally may not be effective for the external problems, but it may also cause contamination of the adjacent areas of the body and underwear as well. For such reasons this new method of medicine application is introduced which will help the treatment and will keep the underwear clean. In this method a special medicated pad is used in which this pad has a non-permeable protective plastic cover outside to prevent the medication from diffusing from the medicated pad and contaminating the skin of the area. The inner medicated part would help the area to heal so that the skin of the area would be treated in the center and would not contaminate the outside as well. Importantly, the surface of this pad may have raised spots to work as a means of massaging the skin or parts of the mucosa. Also, this application introduces new units that are to be used in the anal or vaginal area and that utilize special piece made of a central piece covered with a layer of absorbent or a media that will hold the medication will be mesh or a body of sponge that is inserted into the anal area or vagina to allow its medicated surface to function properly. This piece will be connected to the center of a special medicated pad as mentioned above in order to a treat the outside inflamed area as well. This pad is chosen since it has protective cover outside that prevents a contamination of the skin, as well as an inner part that provides medication to the neighboring skin or mucosa. It is believed that these units can also be used in other cases for special dressings as well. The claims will be provided with regular application.
