Summary: The ozonized oils of vegetable sources constitute an appropriate method for the local therapy of several diseases. The interaction of ozone with these oils produce a mixture of chemical compounds (ozonides and peroxides) with a great germicide power. The results of topical applications of ozonized oil in dermatological diseases of viral, fungal, and bacterial origin, during 9 years of study, were presented. Among the diseases of bacterial origin (for example, pyoderma), 600 patients were treated, obtaining a healing criterion of 87%. In cases of mycotic diseases (for example, epidermophystosis, onychomycosis, etc), 1000 patients received the treatment, with a healing rate the relapses disappeared. The researchers reported no side effects during this study.
