I've been dealing with acne scars for a while now and I remember using Clinagel which had Clindamycin phosphate 1% and allantoin, and it actually worked really well for me. But it seems like it's not available anymore. Could you suggest a similar alternative that just includes these two ingredients? I'm really looking for something as effective.

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.
