I've read that barium sulfate can be used in preparing soap for removing permanent unwanted hair. Is that safe to use? I'm worried because I don't know much about how barium sulfate works and if it has any side effects on the skin. Can you explain this to me and whether it's a reliable method?

Using soap combined with any substance like barium sulfate for hair removal would not provide any significant results and could potentially cause irritation or harm to the skin. Always choose clinically tested and proven methods for hair removal.

View allIs it common for ringworm to have a clear liquid coming out of it? What does it mean if it does? Should I be worried about this, or is it something that usually happens?
Ringworm typically presents as a red, scaly rash that may be itchy. Oozing clear liquid from a ringworm lesion can indicate a secondary bacterial infection. This is a cause for concern as it may require additional treatment to clear the infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra twice a day on the affected area, along with an antibiotic cream like Neosporin to prevent bacterial infection. If the oozing persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

I've got a keloid on my chest and I've been told to use Betadine solution and then nadoxin ointment on it. After I clean it up with the Betadine, should I just go ahead and put on the nadoxin right away? Or do I need to rinse it with warm water before applying the ointment?
You can apply the nadoxin ointment immediately after cleaning with Betadine solution. There is no need to clean it with warm water before applying the ointment. Just make sure to gently pat the area dry after cleaning with Betadine before applying the ointment.
