I've been dealing with a skin rash that's red and slightly inflamed on my inner thigh, and it's getting a bit annoying. I decided to try Betadine Ointment, but I'm not exactly sure how often I should be applying it or how long I should keep using it. Can you give me some advice on that?
You can apply Betadine Ointment on the affected area 1-2 times daily. Make sure to clean the area before each application. You can continue using Betadine Ointment for up to 7 days, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

Got diagnosed with chicken pox today and consulted two doctors, but they both only suggested taking dolo 650. I'm seeing reviews though where other doctors mention antivirals for treatment. Just feeling a bit anxious here. Should I be taking some other medication too?
take dolo
