Peroxide formulations and methods and applicators for using the same
Embodiments are directed to a stable composition comprising stabilized hydrogen peroxide and 2-propanol and applicators configured to store, dispense, and apply such stable compositions. Such compositions may be used to treat skin conditions such as warts, condyloma accuminatum, molluscum contagiosum, acrochordons, seborrheic keratosis, or a combination thereof. Some embodiments also describe take home compositions, in office compositions, over-the-counter compositions, and kits for the use of such compositions.
1. An applicator configured to store and dispense a topical composition comprising about 25% w/w to about 70% w/w hydrogen peroxide and 2-propanol in an amount of about 1% w/w to about 5% w/w, the applicator comprising:
a frangible ampoule having the topical composition disposed therein
an applicator body having the frangible ampoule arranged therein;
an applicator hub in fluid communication with the applicator body;
a tip arranged at a proximal end of the applicator hub; and
a filter arranged between the frangible ampoule and the tip.
2. The applicator of claim 1 wherein the applicator body further comprises an additional ingredient of the topical composition disposed therein, whereby the agent is released from the frangible ampoule responsive to the frangible ampoule being ruptured and is mixed with the additional ingredient in the applicator body prior to administration of the topical composition.
3. The applicator of claim 1 , wherein the topical composition is released from the frangible ampoule responsive to the frangible ampoule being ruptured and flows through the applicator body, the filter, and out of the applicator through the tip.
4. The applicator of claim 1 , further comprising a pressure area arranged on an outer surface of the applicator body to indicate a portion of the applicator body to apply pressure to rupture the frangible ampoule.
5. The applicator of claim 1 , wherein the frangible ampoule is formed from at least one of glass, plastic, borosilicate glass, Type 1 borosilicate glass, and tinted glass.
6. The applicator of claim 1 , wherein the applicator body is formed from polypropylene, high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, or a combination thereof.
7. The applicator of claim 1 , wherein the filter is configured to prevent shards of a ruptured frangible ampoule from passing through and to allow the topical composition to flow through.
8. The applicator of claim 1 , wherein the filter is formed from at least one of polypropylene, high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, a ceramic material, a foam material, sand, diatomaceous earth, and paper fibers.
9. A method of treating a skin condition, the method comprising administering a topical composition comprising up to 50% hydrogen peroxide and up to 5% 2-propanol using an applicator comprising:
a frangible ampoule having the topical composition disposed therein,
an applicator body having the frangible ampoule arranged therein;
an applicator hub in fluid communication with the applicator body;
a tip arranged at a proximal end of the applicator hub; and
a filter arranged between the frangible ampoule and the tip.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the skin condition is selected from the group consisting of warts, seborrheic keratosis, acrochordons, recalcitrant warts, recurrent warts, treatment naïve warts, common warts, palmoplantar warts, flat warts, epidermodysplasia verruciformis related warts, anogenital warts, condyloma accuminatum, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), chicken pox, Herpes zoster, shingles, molluscum contagiosum, orf, callus, cutaneous horns, corns, fibroepithelial polyps, prurigo nodularis, actinic keratoses, squamous cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma in situ, keratoacanthoma, basal cell carcinoma, cutaneous lymphomas, benign lymphocytic infiltrates, hyperplasias of the skin, clear cell acanthoma, large cell acanthoma, epidermolytic acanthoma, porokeratosis, hyperkeratosis, keratosis pilaris, lichenoid keratosis, acanthosis, acanthosis nigricans, confluent papillomatosis, reticulated papillomatosis, nevi, acne, cysts, trichofolliculoma, fibrofolliculoma, perifollicular fibroma, trichodiscoma, nevus sebaceous, chondroid syringoma, trichoepithelioma, trichoblastoma, desmoplastic trichoepithelioma, pilomatricoma, pilomatrical carcinoma, tricholemmoma, trichelemmal carcinoma, tumor of the follicular infundibulum, tricoadenoma, proliferating pilar tumor, sebaceous hyperplasia, sebaceous adenoma, sebaceous epithelioma, sebaceous carcinoma, syringoma, poroma, hidradenoma, apocrine hidradenoma, spiradenoma, cylindroma, eccrine nevus, papillary adenoma, papillary adenocarcinoma, ephilides, café-au-lait macules, Becker's melanosis, lentigines, solar lentigines, lentigo simplex, mucosal melanocytic lesions, Mongolian spots, Nevus of Ota, blue nevus, common acquired melanocytic nevi, moles, congenital nevi, nevus spilus, recurrent nevi; vascular and perivascular neoplasms, hemangiomas, cherry angiomas, hobnail hemangiomas, tufted angiomas, hemangioendotheliomas, angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE), glomangiomas, hemangiopericytomas; neuromas, Schwannomas, neurofibromas, nerve sheath tumor, nerve sheath myxoma, neurothekeoma, granular cell tumor; fibroepithelial polyps, fibromas, fibrous papules, angiofibromas, pearly penile papules, periungual fibromas, dermatofibromas, fibrokeratomas, sclerotic or pleomorphic fibromas, connective tissue nevi, cutaneous scars, hyperplasias, keloids, rosacea, cutaneous fungal, dermatophyte infections, mold infections, onychomycosis, hyperpigmentation, rhytides, psoriasis, malignant melanoma, dermatosis papulosis nigra, inverted follicular keratosis, acrokeratosis verruciformis, stucco keratosis, and a combination thereof.
