I'm dealing with an open wound on my foot and have been using CIPLADINE Ointment to stop any bacterial infections and pus. I'm really concerned and curious if this ointment will also help the wound itself heal. Can you advise?

CIPLADINE Ointment will help keep the wound free of bacterial infections and therefore help prevent complications, but it is not primarily a wound-healing ointment. You may need additional treatment (such as moisturizing and tissue-repairing ointments) to help heal the wound itself.

Question

I've been struggling with frequent pimples for quite some time now. I started using Lobate GM about four years ago, but the pimples just keep coming back, especially if I try to switch my face wash. Lately, it's been really bad, mostly on my forehead, and I'm not sure what to do. I'm currently in Chennai working for an MNC, and it's becoming pretty frustrating to manage. Can you suggest a complete solution for this ongoing issue? It would be great if you could also recommend any ointments that might suit my skin type.

I've been having trouble with biometric verification because of these horizontal lines on my fingerprints. The device just can't seem to read them properly. Is there any specific lotion you'd recommend that might help with this issue? Would be great to hear your thoughts.

I'm really worried about my hair loss and it seems like Minoxidil has some side effects and you have to take it for life. But I've been trying this Well Grow anti-hair loss serum and nothing's happeningmy hair's still falling out. What's going on? Should I keep using it, and for how long do you think it's safe? And does it have similar side effects to Minoxidil?
