Label Information
Resinol is used to treat several different types of skin ailments. It is used to prevent and temporarily protect chafed, chapped, or cracked skin, temporarily relieve pain and itching caused by minor burns, minor cuts and scrapes, minor skin irritations and sunburn, and dry the oozing and weeping of irritation caused by contact with poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac. Adults and children that are two years of age or older should apply Resinol to affected area of skin no more than three to four times a day. A physician should be asked if an application would be appropriate for a child younger than two years. Resinol is for external uses only. When using it, avoid contact with eyes and do not apply over large areas of the body. Discontinue use and ask a physician if any condition worsens where applied, symptoms last more than seven days, or symptoms clear up and reappear within a few days. Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, get medical help or contact a poison control center immediately. The active ingredients used in Resinol are a 55% solution of petroleum jelly and a 2% solution of resorcinol. Calamine, corn starch, lanolin, and zinc oxide comprise the inactive ingredients. Past Formulations

Chorionic hematoma is the pooling of blood (hematoma) between the chorion, a membrane surrounding the embryo, and the uterine wall. It occurs in about 3.1% of all pregnancies, it is the most common sonographic abnormality and the most common cause of first trimester bleeding. Cause and diagnosis
Chorionic hematomas can be caused by the separation of the chorion from the endometrium (inner membrane of the uterus). Hematomas are classified by their location between tissue layers:
Subchorionic hematomas, the most common type, are between the chorion and endometrium. Retroplacental hematomas are entirely behind the placenta and not touching the gestational sac. Subamniotic or preplacental hematomas are contained within amnion and chorion. Rare.Most patients with a small subchorionic hematoma are asymptomatic. Symptoms include vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, premature labor and threatened miscarriage.Ultrasonography is the preferred method of diagnosis. A chorionic hematoma appears on ultrasound as a hypoechoic crescent adjacent to the gestational sac. The hematoma is considered small if it is under 20% of the size of the sac and large if it is over 50%. Prognosis and treatment
The presence of subchorionic bleeding around the gestational sac does not have a significant association with miscarriage overall. However, the case of intrauterine hematoma observed before 9 weeks of gestational age has been associated with an increased risk of miscarriage. In one study women who complied with instructions for bed rest for the duration of bleeding had a lower rate of miscarriage and a higher rate of term pregnancy than non-compliant women.
