I've been dealing with burning and dry skin on my lips for a couple of months now. At first, I thought they were just chapped, so I tried using lip scrubs and chap stick, but nothing seems to help. I'm starting to worry, could this be a ringworm? How can I tell if that's what it is?

View allI'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.

I'm dealing with this superficial hypertrophic scar that just isn't going away. I tried using Hexilak Ultra Gel for the last 5 months, but it hasn't completely removed it. Any suggestions or advice on what I should do next?
For superficial hypertrophic scars, you can try using Contractubex gel. Apply a thin layer of Contractubex gel on the affected area 2-3 times a day for at least 3 months for optimal results. Make sure to gently massage the gel into the scar. Additionally, you can also consider silicone gel sheets which have been shown to be effective in reducing hypertrophic scars.
