I'm a bit unsure about which to use for my woundshould I go with soframycin or cipladine powder? I usually clean the wound with hot water and Dettol, then let it dry before applying the powder. But when I clean it again the next day, it's kind of tricky. The wound is still wet, and there's some fluid coming out. Would using soframycin be a better option in this case?

It sounds like you're dealing with a wound that's still in the healing process and is somewhat moist, which is quite common in the initial stages of healing.Both can be effective, but Soframycin is usually recommended for burns, surgical wounds, or where moisture needs to be controlled, as it helps with tissue regeneration without drying the wound too much.

View allI've been using aloe vera on my face and now it's burning with rashes and redness showing up. I've got an event in two days, so I'm really hoping for a quick fix. Any advice on how to recover fast?
To quickly recover from the adverse reaction to aloe vera, try these remedies: immediately wash your face with cold water and a mild soap, apply a cool, wet compress or an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to reduce burning and redness, use a topical hydrocortisone cream (0.5-1%) to calm the skin, take an oral antihistamine like diphenhydramine to reduce itching and inflammation, and apply a soothing moisturizer, like coconut oil or aloe vera-free lotion, to help calm the skin; for faster recover
