The drug Fukortsin, known to many since childhood, is often called “red brilliant green” in everyday life, because it, like a solution of brilliant green, when used, colors the skin, but not green, but red. We will look at more details about what Fukortsin is, indications for the use of this medicine and restrictions on its use below.
Overdose symptoms
An overdose of Fukortsin can occur due to prolonged use of the solution. In addition, negative effects from use can be observed when treating large areas of skin. These symptoms include the following negative phenomena:
- attacks of dizziness;
- increased weakness;
- breathing problems.
The appearance of such symptoms requires immediate measures to eliminate them. In addition, immediately after their appearance, it is recommended to go out into the fresh air.
Particular attention should be paid to such a nuance as driving a vehicle after applying the solution. In a situation where the medicine is used on large areas of the skin, it is best to refrain from driving
In addition, it is not recommended to engage in activities that require a person to react quickly or have particularly strong concentration in the process.
Instructions for use of Fukortsin, dosage
The solution is applied to the affected areas of the skin using a cotton swab or cotton swab to disinfect the wound surface and dry out weeping erosions.
After the solution has dried, additional medications can be applied to the skin in the form of ointment or paste.
For chickenpox, the use of Fukortsin can effectively combat pustules and promote rapid wound healing. For chickenpox in children, daily treatment of new rashes with a solution is recommended.
special instructions
It is unacceptable to apply the solution to large areas of skin.
Fukortsin can be used for stomatitis, but in the form of spot applications on ulcers and erosions, and not for rinsing.
Side effects
The instructions warn about the possibility of developing the following side effects when prescribing Fukortsin:
Local reactions: short-term burning sensation and pain at the site of application (goes away on its own and does not require discontinuation of the drug).
Additionally, the following may appear:
- feeling of skin tightness;
- dry skin;
- peeling of the skin at the site of application of the drug.
These effects are due to the drying effect of the drug.
Contraindications
It is contraindicated to prescribe Fukortsin in the following cases:
- chronic allergic dermatoses,
- hypersensitivity to the components of the solution.
Overdose
With prolonged use and application to a large surface area of the body, symptoms of the toxic effects of phenol (dizziness, weakness) may develop.
"Red brilliant green" Fukortsin - application
Fukortsin, whose indications for use include the most common types of skin damage found in everyday life and in nature, is an almost universal antiseptic. Moreover, the drug is effective both for an already developed infectious process and for its prevention in case of a high risk of infection by bacteria or fungi. If you use Fukortsin for the listed lesions, the use of this solution will help to quickly stop inflammation, prevent weeping and speed up healing.
Considering the indications, Fukortsin can be used for self-medication, but you should follow important recommendations:
- the solution is applied pointwise to the lesions using a cotton swab or cotton swab;
- Do not apply the product to large areas of skin;
- It is unacceptable to treat open wounds with medicine (only the edges);
- after applying the drug, there is likely a feeling of mild burning and itching that goes away after a couple of minutes;
- Fukortsin treatment can be carried out 2-4 times a day;
- The product should be used carefully so as not to stain clothes, household items, linen, etc.
Fukortsin for chickenpox
Chickenpox (chickenpox) is a viral disease that affects most people in childhood. A characteristic symptom of the pathology is the appearance of a generalized itchy rash (initially in the form of pink spots, then in the form of papules and vesicles). Fukortsin is often used for children with this disease, but not for the purpose of neutralizing the virus that causes the rash, but to prevent secondary bacterial infection as a result of scratching the inflammatory elements.
Fucorcin can only be applied to pimples that appear due to chickenpox, without affecting healthy skin and mucous membranes, and before doing this, you should obtain the approval of your doctor. The product can somewhat reduce itching and speed up the healing of the rash, which, with the right approach to treatment, goes away without a trace. In addition, thanks to the coloring properties of the drug, new elements can be “marked” in order to track when they stop appearing. This way you can find out when the child is already allowed to communicate with healthy children without the risk of infecting them.
Fukortsin for streptoderma
Rashes due to a disease such as streptoderma are caused by streptococci and their metabolic products that penetrate the skin. Depending on the severity of the lesion, both systemic antibiotic drugs and local agents for direct treatment of the lesions can be prescribed for treatment. Fukortsin solution is often used for this disease.
Castellani liquid should be applied to the rash areas 3-4 times a day, remembering that it is prohibited to wet the lesions with this disease in order to avoid the spread of infection to other areas and aggravation of the inflammatory process. In addition, when treating streptodermic lesions with Fukortsin, you should avoid treating the perioral area, orbital zone, mucous membranes of the oral cavity, nose and genitals with this antiseptic.
Fukortsin for fungus
“Red brilliant green” is an effective remedy against superficial fungal infections of the skin caused by various types of pathogenic fungi. For this purpose, it is recommended to treat the infected areas of the skin with the drug several times a day until the skin acquires a healthy appearance and structure. If the affected area is large, preference should be given to another external remedy.
As for the possibility of using Fukortsin solution against nail fungus, in this case the drug is ineffective, because is not able to penetrate the thickness of the nail plate. This antiseptic can only be used to prevent fungal infection when the nails are injured (in case of careless cutting, breaks, etc.), due to which healing will occur faster.
Fukortsin - application in gynecology
Many people are interested in whether Fukortsin can be used to treat various gynecological problems. Indications for the use of the drug Fukortsin do not include its use for pathologies of the female genital area, but this does not prevent its active use. Thus, treatment with Fukortsin is carried out for rashes on the genitals (genital herpes, candidal vulvitis, etc.). It is worth noting that in these cases, therapy is not particularly effective, and for such diseases it is better to use medications specifically designed for their treatment.
Fukortsin method of use for various diseases, dosage and side effects
The medicine is prescribed after consulting a doctor for a long course of treatment or is used independently for preventive purposes with a single wound treatment.
Contraindications for use are pregnancy, early childhood and individual intolerance.
For infectious diseases of the skin, the drug Fukortsin is used, the method of application of which involves external application to the site of a bacterial or fungal infection. Using a clean cotton swab or glass spatula, the solution is applied to the affected area of the skin using pointwise or light linear movements in case of massive infection.
For wounds and abrasions
Fukortsin is applied generously to completely treat the damaged skin surface and left until completely dry. Covering the treated surface with a plaster or bandage is strictly prohibited, as this can lead to a burn to the wound surface.
For erosions, cracks and weeping wounds
Fukortsin is used for a course of up to seven days until complete healing occurs and granulation tissue grows at the site of the pathological focus. It is used as prescribed by a doctor once a day in the evening, the skin area remains uncovered, after drying, an antibacterial ointment, zinc paste or healing cream is applied.
For fungus and lichen
Fukortsin is used throughout the area affected by fungal flora, covering a centimeter from the visible hyperemic edge of the lesion. This prevents the growth of microspores outside the treated surface area.
For herpes
the drug is used precisely on the area of the vesicle, reapplied every four hours, and blocks the proliferation of viruses in the affected area. For chickenpox, it is used in children over three years of age, as well as for herpes infection, it is applied pointwise. If a child experiences hyperemia after applying Fukortsin, it should be replaced with brilliant green or Miramistin.
For stomatitis and damage to mucous membranes
the product is applied to a swab, previously lubricated with sea buckthorn or other type of oil, after which it is applied pointwise to the affected surface. Oil reduces the risk of burns and erosion of the thin mucous membrane by aggressive components of the solution; this method allows you to treat massive volumes of affected tissue.
The dosage of Fukortsin is determined by the attending physician, as a rule, no more than three applications to the skin during the day. The course lasts no more than a week, after which the skin needs a break to restore its protective properties and produce surface enzymes of the epidermis. Fukortsin is available in doses of 10 and 25 ml.
Side effects of the drug include pain and discomfort
directly during the treatment of damaged tissue. This effect is due to the irritating effect on nerve endings located in the layers of the epidermis and dermis. With significant skin lesions and frequent application, Fukortsin can lead to burns, redness, swelling of the surface epithelium and even the development of dermatitis. Urgent discontinuation of the drug and monitoring of treatment by the supervising medical specialist is required.
With extensive application, phenol vapor poisoning is manifested by dizziness, weakness, lethargy, irritation of the conjunctiva of the eye, respiratory failure, and a sharp decrease in pressure. It is necessary to urgently consult a doctor, ventilate the room, drink cold water, if the symptoms do not stop within 15 minutes, call emergency help.
What is Fukortsin used for?
The pronounced antimicrobial effect allows Fukortsin to be used as a local antiseptic that fights potential infection of wounds and abrasions. In addition, the drug has a fungicidal effect, which means it can prevent the proliferation of fungus. The main purposes of Fukortsin are:
- purulent wounds;
- superficial damage to the skin;
- erosion;
- abrasion;
- deep cracks;
- fungal infection of the epidermis.
Diagnosed streptoderma is treated with the timely use of Fukortsin.
special instructions
The combined antiseptic drug is not used in the treatment of patients under 12 years of age. Due to increased sensitization of the body, many preschool children develop contact dermatitis when the solution is applied to the skin.
Patients with kidney failure should consult a doctor before using Fukortsin. Abuse of an antiseptic can cause accumulation of active substances in soft tissues and the appearance of signs of overdose.
The antimicrobial agent is not used in the treatment of ophthalmic diseases due to the content of acetone and ethanol. If the solution gets into your eyes, rinse the mucous membrane with cold running water.
Gestation and lactation
Fukortsin is not prescribed to patients during pregnancy or breastfeeding, because components of the solution can penetrate the systemic circulation and be excreted in milk.
Fukortsin - analogues
Fukortsin is an alcoholic antiseptic solution, which has no analogues in terms of its complex of active ingredients. At the same time, based on the therapeutic effect of the drug, you can find many substitute drugs that can be used for the same indications as Castellani liquid. Let us list some analogues of Fukortsin, which are also available in the form of external solutions:
- Diamond Green;
- Methylene blue;
- Chlorhexidine;
- Saledez;
- Fucaseptol;
- iodine, etc.
Fukortsin colorless
Due to the fact that Fukortsin is a red coloring solution, it is very noticeable on the skin and is difficult to wash off. This is a significant drawback of the drug. An alternative could be a similar preparation with identical properties, which has the same composition, but without the inclusion of fuchsin, which gives the solution its color. Colorless Fukortsin is produced in some pharmacies upon request.
Fukortsin or brilliant green - which is better?
Zelenka (brilliant green solution) is a common drug that, similar to Castellani’s liquid, is used for skin lesions, purulent-inflammatory tissue lesions, etc. It is impossible to say unequivocally which of the two drugs - Fukortsin or Zelenka - is more effective, because The effectiveness of drugs is determined by various factors: the type of pathogen, the severity of the lesion, the individual reaction of the body to the components of the drug, etc. However, we note that in terms of antifungal activity, brilliant green is inferior to Fukortsin.
How to wash Fukortsin
The drug has a rich crimson color, which is not so easy to remove. It gradually fades away on its own, and the color saturation decreases, but what to do if you urgently need to wash furniture or skin from Fukortsin? There are several ways:
- Take baby cream and apply it to a cotton pad. Rub the stained area of skin with light movements for a couple of minutes. If this does not help, do the same, but apply lotion or tonic to the cotton wool. Repeat this procedure every few hours.
- Mix 1 teaspoon of ammonia and two teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide. Dip a piece of cotton swab into this mixture and wipe the stained skin for a couple of minutes. If tingling or burning occurs, shorten the duration of the procedure. Rinse off with warm water.
- You can wash Fukortsin from clothes and furniture with laundry soap - lather it and leave for half an hour, and then wash the clothes as usual. In this way, you can try to remove stains on the hands or other parts of the body except the face.
- Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) removes Fukortsin stains well. Buy vitamin C in powder form at the pharmacy (1 sachet = 2.5 g), dissolve it in water and wash off traces of the drug with this solution.
In pharmacies you can purchase medicines that were well known until recently, but now they are often unfairly forgotten. Such drugs include fucorcin. At a budget price, the drug has decent effectiveness.
Removing stains from fabrics and interior items
After shingles and chickenpox, as a rule, crimson traces remain not only on the body. To remove fucorcin from clothes, bedding, furniture and other surfaces, you can resort to stronger methods: this will help get rid of the stain faster. When choosing the appropriate method, you need to take into account the characteristics of the material from which the product is made.
Clothes and bedding
Store-bought bleaches (Belizna, Bos, Vanish) will cope well with the problem. It is recommended to follow three simple recommendations.
- White things. You can try sodium sulfate, but the product must be washed off with plenty of water immediately after applying to the stain: the aggressive formula of the substance quickly destroys the fabric.
- Colored things. Judging by the reviews, it quickly removes traces of pink green from Vanish colored products. Other products specifically designed for dyed fabrics will also help remove fucorcin stains from clothes and linen.
- Delicate fabrics. To remove pink stains from silk and wool clothes, you can only use commercial stain removers with a gentle formula. The packaging must indicate that the product is suitable for products made from delicate materials.
Cushioned furniture
The easiest way to remove fucorcin from upholstered furniture is with bleach. The algorithm of actions includes three stages.
- Prepare a weak solution of bleach.
- Use a cotton pad or rag to wipe the stain. Gradually the concentration of the composition can be increased.
- After removing contamination, the treatment area should be rinsed with plenty of water.
Acetone can also clean a sofa and other upholstered furniture; you need to work with it in the same way as with bleach.
Cabinet furniture
A simple three-step method will help you quickly remove red stains from furniture.
- Apply a little soda ash to a damp sponge.
- Rub the stain vigorously and wait a couple of minutes.
- Rinse the treated area with clean water.
Soda can be combined with vodka or acetone - this will help get rid of dirt faster. But you should not resort to this method if the contaminated surface is varnished.
Carpets and rugs
Laundry soap and ammonia are an effective tandem that will remove crimson stains from your favorite carpet. Cleansing is carried out in two stages.
- Prepare a concentrated solution of laundry soap by adding a little ammonia.
- The composition is applied to the dirt, after two to three minutes it is washed off with plenty of water.
Linoleum
If fucorcin is spilled on linoleum, you need to apply sodium sulfite to the stain, quickly wipe the stain with a brush and immediately rinse with water. A bleach solution will also work.
Acrylic and wood surfaces
Acrylic bathtubs, toilets, and sinks can be easily cleaned of traces of red paint using acetone or nail polish remover containing the substance. To avoid damaging the wooden surface, it is best to use commercial cleaning products for wood products. Well proven:
- Emsal;
- "Pine";
- Wood cleaner;
- Pramol.
Before removing a stain, you should apply the product to an inconspicuous area of the fabric or surface to be cleaned to check whether the composition will not spoil the appearance or structure of the material.
If you find a crimson spot on your skin on the eve of going out, do not refuse the long-awaited invitation. When you see that a child has spilled a bottle of fucorcin on a new sofa, do not scold the child. After all, proven methods will always help you wash off the red green stuff from your face and body, clothes and bed linen, furniture, and floors.

Indications and instructions for use
Fukortsin solution has the following indications for use:
- purulent rashes;
- fungal diseases;
- mechanical damage to the skin.
Fucarcin liquid, instructions for children state that the solution is used to treat any type of skin damage. Since this remedy has an antiseptic effect, the use of the medicine helps prevent the development of inflammatory processes, as well as protect the child from infection. In addition, the medicine can be used to treat infected lesions. The use of Fukortsin will speed up the regeneration process, as well as eliminate inflammation and suppuration.
This means that the medicine can be used if any tumors or injuries occur. This product is great for children, as it accelerates the healing process of abrasions, burst calluses, and squeezed purulent pimples. In addition, the solution can be used to treat conditions such as prickly heat, allergic rashes, dermatitis and eczema, which often affect infants.
Fukortsin solution is used in cases where there is a need to dry the lesions, as well as to prevent the occurrence of inflammation and infection. The medicine is applied only to damaged areas of the skin or areas of inflammation. For application, you can use either cotton swabs or a special dispenser located on the lid of the bottle. Experts recommend using the solution three times a day. The maximum recommended dose is five applications in one day.
If you want to use this composition in combination with other external agents, then initially treatment is carried out only with Fucoricin. Then, after the liquid has completely dried, you can use other means. The medication should be used until the symptoms of the disease disappear completely. Doctors say that there is no specific duration of the course. Each disease must be considered individually.
It is very important to use the product correctly. It is forbidden to dip an already used cotton swab or cotton swab into the bottle.

All of the above actions must be carried out before each treatment.
Application of Fukortsin to damaged skin may be accompanied by itching and burning sensations. These symptoms are observed within a few minutes after applying the medicine. If symptoms do not disappear within five minutes, this may indicate the development of an allergic reaction. In such a situation, it is recommended to wash off the composition and use special allergy medications.
Unlike brilliant green, Fukortsin is applied only to areas of skin damage. This rule of use is dictated by the fact that one of the components of the drug is toxic.
A high concentration of phenol in the bloodstream can cause feelings of weakness, attacks of dizziness and breathing problems.
The peculiarity of this product is that one of the components acts as a dye. In this regard, its contact with clothing and the surface of furniture can lead to staining. The medicine is quite difficult to wash off, so you need to use the drug with great care.
Fukortsin or brilliant green for chickenpox
With chickenpox, treating blisters on the body has a special meaning. Chickenpox is a type of herpes virus that causes a rash all over the body. Doctors do not recommend getting the affected areas of the body wet, which means the patient should not wash during the entire period of illness, which can last up to 14 days. The patient is considered infectious as long as new lesions of the rash appear on his body. As soon as the rash stops appearing, make a mark on the calendar and count another 5 days, after which the patient with chickenpox can return to the team.
Zelenka, like Fukortsin, in addition to drying out sores, preventing a secondary infection from joining, serves as a kind of marker for a previously appeared rash. The absence of uncolored bubbles will indicate that the disease is receding.
The child, reacting to the itching that often accompanies the chickenpox rash, tries to scratch it, breaking the tightness of the ulcers. Dirt and infection can quickly get into a torn wound, which will cause suppuration and other complications. Fukortsin, like brilliant green, does an excellent job of disinfecting. What color the patient will be after treatment is a decisive factor influencing the choice between the two drugs. Both brilliant green and Fukortsin are difficult to wash off from the skin.
Cleaning furniture, clothing and leather from Fukortsin
Since this product has a coloring effect, the question of how to wash Fukortsin is quite popular. In order to remove it from the skin, you can use the following recipes.
To prepare the cleanser, you will need a mixture of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. The proportions of the ingredients are two to three. This mixture cleanses only those areas of the skin that have been affected by the coloring composition. After using the product, it is recommended to rinse the painted area with warm water.
You can also add crushed soap to the above mixture. This composition should have a mushy consistency. Once prepared, apply it to the stained skin and leave for five minutes. After this, the product can be washed off with water.
For cleaning, you can use various alcohols, as well as vodka. After cleaning, the skin should be washed in hot water using laundry soap.
People often open bottles that are difficult to open with their teeth, which can lead to the appearance of burgundy stains on the enamel.

Using this method allows you to get rid of unwanted stains in a few minutes.

To clean them, you can use a solution based on ammonia and soap. The mixture is applied to the painted areas, and after fifteen minutes it is washed off with water.
Also, to remove paint stains, you can use a special stain remover from. Apply the product to clothing until the paint is completely dissolved. After this, the laundry must be washed.

To clean furniture, use: bleach, aspirin or salicylic acid. The method of using these tools is quite simple. Chlorine-based bleach is diluted in water, after which the resulting liquid is treated with the painted surface. Acetylsalicylic acid in tablet form must be dissolved in one glass of water before use. After this, the solution is applied to the painted furniture.

Fukortsin solution is a medical preparation that has a disinfectant and antiseptic effect.
. This product is widely used to treat mechanical damage to the skin, scratches and abrasions, as well as for fungus and purulent inflammation. Let's take a closer look at what Fukortsin is needed for.
To consider what Fukortsin is, you need to look at the release form of the drug. Quite often, this medicine is called brilliant green - red, because both solutions have the same properties. To date, the drug Fukortsin is manufactured only in the form of a solution.
This mixture has a burgundy hue and has a characteristic alcoholic odor. The medicine is packaged in glass containers with volumes of ten, fifteen and twenty-five milliliters. Depending on the manufacturer, a special dispenser or brush may be included with the medicine for convenient use of the medicine.
Fukortsin is a disinfectant and antiseptic for external use.
Among the ingredients in the mixture, the following active components should be highlighted:
- magenta;
- resorcinol;
- boric acid.

This measure allows you to reduce the effect of ultraviolet rays on the drug. In this regard, the medicine must be stored away from sunlight. The recommended storage temperature is twenty-five degrees Celsius.
How to take Fukortsin for stomatitis
Stomatitis is an inflammation of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, which is accompanied by the appearance of ulcers and abscesses. The disease usually occurs most often in children between one and three years of age. And this is due to the fact that during the period of teething, the child takes accessible objects into his mouth, some of which are unclean. Dirt entering the inflamed gum causes infection, which leads to the spread of ulcers throughout the oral cavity.
Adults, paying little attention to dental health, provoke the spread of infection. Stomatitis makes it impossible to eat normally, since any substances that get on the ulcer cause severe pain. Stomatitis is treated by rinsing with decoctions of chamomile or oak bark. And you need to treat wounds with Fukortsin, after moistening a cotton swab or swab in the solution.
Under no circumstances should Fukontsin be used as a mouth rinse. Tissues and mucous membranes have a high degree of absorption. During rinsing, a large percentage of boric acid and phenol will be absorbed into the blood, which will certainly cause general intoxication of the body
Recommendations for use
Treatment of nail fungus with Fukortsin does not cause any particular difficulties. In the first stages of the lesion, the disease can be eliminated exclusively with the above solution. But if the pathology is advanced, then the mycologist will recommend complex therapy.
To ensure effective treatment of nail fungus, you must adhere to the following rules:
Before applying the product, it is necessary to properly prepare the affected nails. Initially, take a bath for your hands or feet (depending on the damage). To provide an antiseptic effect, you can add herbs, sea salt or soap to the water. After the bath, you need to cut your nails short. Finally, the plate is carefully processed with a nail file. This manipulation will ensure deeper penetration of the drug into the affected area. The lid of the Fukortsin bottle is equipped with a special stick designed to facilitate application of the product
If the applicator is difficult to use, you can use regular ear sticks instead. Carefully apply the solution to the damaged plate. Try not to touch healthy skin, as the medicine has the ability to change skin tone. When applying, avoid the possibility of the solution getting on the mucous membranes of the mouth and eyes.
The medicine can cause instant burns. Depending on the stage of spread of the fungus, the doctor will determine the duration and frequency of use of the product. For mild cases, it is recommended to use the solution 2 times a day. If the lesion has reached a serious extent, then four times a day is prescribed. This therapy is maintained for 4 weeks. If necessary, it can be extended, but only on the recommendation of a mycologist.
