Avar is a gel used to treat the inflammation and skin eruptions associated with acne and rosacea. Avar Green is a tinted version of the gel that helps tone down redness. Avar can also be used to treat the dry, scaly skin known as seborrheic dermatitis.
Avar contains an ingredient similar to sulfa drugs such as Bactrim and Septra. On rare occasions these medications have caused severe allergic reactions. If you are allergic to any sulfa drug, you may also be allergic to Avar. In addition, if you have taken one of these medications in the past, you may have developed a "hidden" allergy to sulfa drugs that might show up when you use Avar. Notify your doctor immediately at the first sign of a severe reaction such as skin rash, sore throat, fever, joint pain, cough, shortness of breath, abnormal skin paleness, reddish or purplish skin spots, or yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes.
