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?

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.

Ive been having these boil-like pimples in my suprapubic area again. I had the same issue about a year ago and it hung around for two years before disappearing on its own. Now, after about 9 months of being clear, theyve come back in the same spot. Im seeing about 10 of them now, and a couple have started growing on my penis too. Last year, I had a skin biopsy and the doctor said it wasnt cancerous, but Im worried since theyre popping up again. Im sexually active and I do drink whisky or beer pretty often. Can you tell me what this might be, what causes it, and if theres a permanent treatment for it?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotion above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

Should I wet my hair everyday?

There is no need to wet your hair daily. Depending on your scalp and hair nature, you may wash it frequently. If you have oily or greasy hair then you may wash your hair more frequently when compared to normal scalp.
