Cleansing face with mild face wash twice regularly to remove dirt and oil from face. Additionally, avoid foods with high glycemic index such as white rice/bread, pasta, sugar, chocolate. Use water-based sunscreen daily. Consult with a Dermatologist and use topical treatments.

View allI recently discovered a bumpnode on my left breast just below the nipple. It was last Tuesday evening. The next day, I noticed a small dot-sized white pus mouth that gradually grew to 45 mm in diameter and ended up breaking on its own during the night on Friday while I was sleeping. Since then, I've been taking Augmentin 625 and applying Sumag twice a day. I'm kinda worried about what's going on and wondering if there's anything else I should be doing or if it's something serious. Can you tell me if all this sounds normal, or should I be concerned?
Yes that would help you ,if its not working visit surgeon for appropriate management,and you can also add Tab Enzomac plus for better healing

Can I use Keto B ointment on my scalp for itching and gaps between my hair? Is it harmful or safe to use?
Keto B ointment, containing ketoconazole, can be used for scalp itching and fungal infections, but for hair gaps, it may not be directly effective; it's generally safe when used as directed, but potential side effects include skin irritation, itching, or dryness; consult a dermatologist before using Keto B ointment on your scalp, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.

I'm trying to figure out whether I should use Neosporin powder or a Betadine tube for treating wounds on the knees and elbows from falling on the road. I know Betadine is used with dressing, which can be so sticky and painful when changing it. On the other hand, I've heard Neosporin powder is just sprinkled over the wound. Could you help me decide which might be better?
For road fall wounds on the knees and elbows, both Neosporin and Betadine can be effective, but Neosporin powder may be more suitable for open wounds as it helps prevent infection without sticking. Betadine can be used for cleaning, but it might be painful to remove due to its adhesive nature. It's important to apply a clean dressing to reduce pain during redressing.
