View allI had a bike accident a few days ago and ended up with some skin scrapes. I've attached a photo. I'm trying to decide between using Betadine or Tbact mupirocin. Can you help me understand the difference between the two, and which one might be better for healing this kind of wound?
both have equal potency. u can use either along with this consume healthy diet.

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been using iwin 200 mg, Dezlorid 5mg, and ebernate cream for about 40 days. They helped at first, but my symptoms came back after finishing the course. I tried the same medication for another week, and it eased off, but now it's back again. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution. What do you recommend?
The treatment for fungal infection is simple. You have to take anti fungal tablets and creams for 4 to 6 weeks following which it resolves. Do not apply soap on that area and do not self treat with over the counter steroid creams. Mistreatment with steroid creams like panderm, fourderm, betnovate, candid b etc and self treatment with cheaper generic medicine is the most common reason for recurrent disease. Another cause of recurrence is cross infection from other infected people in the house.

My son has been having these black spots on his palms and feet lately and they're really itchy. The spots seem to be growing and they're actually under the skin, not on top. The skin over these spots feels hard, kind of like how it looks on people who do a lot of weightlifting or use shovels a lot. Plus, he sweats a lot, especially on his hands and feet. Really worried about whats going on here, any ideas?
