Provided are: a glass composition for wound care, which promotes a wound healing process by providing a moist environment and nutrients necessary for growth of epidermal cells, and which has bactericidal properties for preventing critical fixing of bacteria to a wound surface and infection with bacteria; and a wound covering material that uses the glass composition. The glass composition contains, by mass % in terms of oxides, 5 to 70% of SiO.sub.2, 0 to 10% of Al.sub.2O.sub.3, 5 to 40.0% of B.sub.2O.sub.3, and 1 to 50% of CaO.

Compositions and methods for the treatment of pruritic ani and anal fissures are described. The compositions include one or more of Calamine (USP) or zinc oxide (ZnO), aluminum hydroxide (A1(OH).sub.3) or kaolin, glycerin, and menthol (or any compound which activates the menthol receptor (TRPM8)). The composition does not contain any hydrocarbon-based pharmaceutical carrier such as petroleum jelly, white petrolatum, mineral oil, hard paraffin, soft paraffin, microcrystalline wax, ceresine, or hard fats. Methods of treating pruritic ani and anal fissures by topical application(s) of the compositions to affected perianal or anal epidermis are also described.
