Abstract
This invention provides for a method for treatment of corneal and dermal wounds by administering bismuth compounds in topical dosage forms. Bismuth compounds cause stimulation of release of growth factors in damaged tissue to promote regeneration of epithelial cells and hence accelerate wound healing. These bismuth compounds also have good antimicrobial activity against several anaerobic bacteria involved in diaper rash exacerbation.
