I've got a scratch wound on my shin from climbing a rope during an obstacle course, and it's about 10 days old now. For the first few days, I used an ointment and kept it covered like my doctor suggested. Then I left it open for a couple of days and have been applying Soframycin for the last four days. Now there's this dried layer of the cream that's not coming off, and I'm having some very mild pains occasionally, but nothing too serious. How can I get this wound to heal completely?
dont worry that could be scab it would fall off try to peel it off while having bath if not leave it it will fall off on its own

I've been dealing with this scabies issue for almost 45 months now. I used permethrin and lindane lotion, and that helped a lot, but I'm frustrated because I still have these nodular bumps and persistent itching, especially in my armpits and genitals. I've tried corticosteroid ointments and even oral antiallergics, but nothing seems to fully clear it up. What else can I do to get rid of them and the itching once and for all? I'm pretty concerned about why this is just not going away.
That means there are active mites still present visit dermatologist for complete course of the treatment and councelling regarding preventive measures.
