I've been using Deriva BPO gel for about a week now, but I haven't noticed any improvements in my acne. In fact, I'm seeing more whiteheads appearing on my acne every day. Is this how the gel is supposed to work, or will it actually help clear up my acne?

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 a bit worried about a situation with my left groin. It started itching a lot today and I noticed there's hard skin peeling off. I took some of it off but now there's this painful red patch where the skin was. My right groin seems totally fine though. Could this be something serious, or do you think it might clear up on its own?
You may be experiencing a fungal infection in your left groin area. You can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've got an abrasion on my left wrist and I put some antiseptic ointment on it. I'm a bit unsure if I should cover it up with a bandage or just leave it open. Also, there's a little bit of liquid coming out of the wound. What should I do?
For an abrasion wound like yours, it is recommended to cover it with a bandage to protect it from dirt and bacteria, which can help prevent infection. You can use a sterile gauze pad and secure it with medical tape. Make sure to change the bandage regularly, at least once a day or whenever it gets wet or dirty. As for the liquid coming out of the wound, it is likely serous fluid, which is a normal part of the healing process. It helps keep the wound moist and aids in the formation of new tissue. However, if the fluid is excessive, discolored, or has a foul odor, it may indicate infection, and you should seek medical attention. To help with healing, you can also consider using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin on the wound before covering it with a bandage.
