I had an accident a few days ago and ended up with some wounds on my right hand. The skin right before my elbow is peeled off. I've been using megaheal ointment on it, but I'm really not sure if that's the right choice. Could you recommend if I should continue with this or suggest a different ointment? I'm a bit uncertain about what's best for healing my injury.

How exactly should I use this Salactin paint for my warts? Do I need to soak them in water first, or should I just apply it directly on them? I'm a bit unsure about the proper way.

I'm dealing with a problem where the skin between my thighs is getting really dark, and the itching is quite bad. It feels like it's starting to spread. Could you suggest any medicine or treatment that might help with this issue?

I'm dealing with a fungal infection, and I'm really unsure about whether it's safe to use soap in the affected areas, specifically around the groin and anal ring. What should I do?

Yes, you can use antifungal soap in the affected areas like the groin and anal ring surrounding area. You can use a soap containing ketoconazole or terbinafine. Make sure to lather the soap and leave it on the skin for a few minutes before rinsing off. Use it twice daily for best results.
