I'm dealing with an open wound on my foot and have been using CIPLADINE Ointment to stop any bacterial infections and pus. I'm really concerned and curious if this ointment will also help the wound itself heal. Can you advise?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
CIPLADINE Ointment will help keep the wound free of bacterial infections and therefore help prevent complications, but it is not primarily a wound-healing ointment. You may need additional treatment (such as moisturizing and tissue-repairing ointments) to help heal the wound itself.

View allI'm 18 and have been using Skin Light for a year now, but I've noticed I've got dark circles, and my cheekbone area seems a lot darker than before. It's really worrying me because I want to feel fair and beautiful again. I've been thinking about my future and how this could affect me. Can you suggest any cream that could help with this? Maybe something like Dr. Reddy's Venusia cream? I'd appreciate any advice you could offer!

I'm using this cream and every time I stop using it, my skin turns red, I get these unwanted hairs, and there are black spots too. Should I keep using it or is it better to stop?
It sounds like you may be experiencing side effects from stopping the cream. It is important to consult with your doctor before making any decisions. However, if you are using a topical steroid cream, abrupt discontinuation can lead to rebound redness and other skin issues. You may need to taper off the cream gradually to avoid these effects. Additionally, unwanted hair growth and black spots may be related to the cream you are using. I recommend using a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil and a mild steroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% for any redness. Consult with your doctor for a proper tapering schedule and alternative treatment options.
