Question

I had a bike accident a few days ago and ended up with some skin scrapes. I've attached a photo. I'm trying to decide between using Betadine or Tbact mupirocin. Can you help me understand the difference between the two, and which one might be better for healing this kind of wound?

Question

I'm having trouble finding Flutibact ointment at the store. Can I mix Flutivate skin cream with T Bact ointment to apply on a rash?

Question

I've got these burns from hot oil splashing on me in the kitchen a couple of days ago. The blisters have started to open up, and I'm not sure what to do about them. A friend gave me some clobetasol propionate cream 0.05%. Will that actually help with my burns? Most of them are small on my right arm and chest, but there are a few as big as 12 inches. Im kind of unsure about using this cream on the burns. Could you advise?
