Question

I've got a keloid on my chest and I've been told to use Betadine solution and then nadoxin ointment on it. After I clean it up with the Betadine, should I just go ahead and put on the nadoxin right away? Or do I need to rinse it with warm water before applying the ointment?

You can apply the nadoxin ointment immediately after cleaning with Betadine solution. There is no need to clean it with warm water before applying the ointment. Just make sure to gently pat the area dry after cleaning with Betadine before applying the ointment.
