View allCan you tell me if it's okay to use candid b cream for a fungal infection on my face? I've got these really annoying red and dry patches on my cheeks that look just like dandruff, and I'm a bit worried about them. Is this cream safe to apply there, or should I be trying something else?
Candid B cream can be used for fungal infections on the face. It contains Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone which are effective in treating fungal infections. You can apply a thin layer of Candid B cream on the affected areas on your cheeks twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Remember to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.

I've been dealing with some really slow-healing wounds from a minor bike accident recently. I hurt my fingers, palm, and knee trying to save a dog on the road. I've already taken a tetanus shot and completed a 5-day course of amoxicillin. I've also been dressing my wounds with betadine solution and now switched to using soframycin under the bandages. But it seems like the wounds arent healing as quickly as I'd hoped. Any advice on what I might be doing wrong or any suggestions to speed up the healing process?
If the wounds are not infected you can try placentrex of megaheal for a faster result and consume protien rich diet

I'm really concerned because my neck area has been getting darker for quite some time now. Someone mentioned I should try this cream called Memopi HC, and I managed to get it from the pharmacy. The thing is, the instructions say I need to see a doctor before using it. Can you help me understand how and when I should use this cream? Is it really necessary to consult a doctor first?
dermat opinion.
