Face wash with either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide may help in removing dead skin cells which clogs the pores leading to acne. Either of them may help only in mild grade of acne. You can choose face wash with salicylic acid if you have blackheads, whiteheads and comedones and face wash with benzoyl peroxide if you have pus filled pimples.

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.

I'm wondering if it's okay to use these capsules for my dull and pigmented skin. I also have scars and acne pits, and I'm worried about any side effects. How long should I continue using them?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I've been using Femcinol A gel for around a year now. Lately, I've noticed small pimples showing up, and my face looks whiter compared to the rest of my body. There are also some tiny black dots and dark spots on my face. Could all this be because I've been using the gel too much, or is there something else going on? What should I do about it?
