Question

I'm a bit unsure about which to use for my woundshould I go with soframycin or cipladine powder? I usually clean the wound with hot water and Dettol, then let it dry before applying the powder. But when I clean it again the next day, it's kind of tricky. The wound is still wet, and there's some fluid coming out. Would using soframycin be a better option in this case?

It sounds like you're dealing with a wound that's still in the healing process and is somewhat moist, which is quite common in the initial stages of healing.Both can be effective, but Soframycin is usually recommended for burns, surgical wounds, or where moisture needs to be controlled, as it helps with tissue regeneration without drying the wound too much.

I'm trying to manage my dandruff situation and heard about using diprovate plus lotion on the scalp. I'm just wondering, can I actually apply it directly to my hair like I would with regular hair oil? Is there anything else I should know while using it?

Question

I'm thinking about using Fevi Quick to attach fake nails and I'm wondering if it's safe to do so. Since nails are essentially made of dead cells, could this cause any harm to my real nails? I'm curious if there are any side effects I should be aware of, or if it's something I could just try once without worrying too much.

Question

I'm really worried about my hair falling out, especially when I comb it. Is there something going on that's causing this hair fall? What can I do to stop it?
