Soframycin Ointment for Nose Piercing Care

Patient's Query

Can I use soframycin ointment on my nose piercing

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

Nose pie­rcings sometimes get infe­cted. Redness, swe­lling, pus appear when germs e­nter. Soframycin ointment doesn't tre­at piercing infections. Saline solution (saltwate­r) gently cleans the are­a. Rinse piercing multiple time­s daily. If symptoms persist beyond seve­ral days, consult a doctor. Avoid over-the-counter antibiotic cre­ams; they aren't effe­ctive for piercings.

While cutting pubic hairs down there, I have cut myself from scissors. Can this cause tatnus. What should I do?

Female | 27

Tetanus disease comes with some toxic dirty cuts that make swallowing very hard as well as stiffness of muscles generally. Such people should ensure the scratch is germs-free by washing it with water and soap and then applying any antiseptic. One should also note that if you have not had any tetanus vaccination within the last ten years, make sure it is done as soon as possible to prevent further infections.

Female | 25

Hives, a fever and stomach aches suck. Plus your tests showing low albumin and high ESR and CRP are like major red flags. It could be that there is inflammation somewhere in your body. You need to see your doctor again so they can try and work out what’s causing it and how best to treat you.

Female | 33

It sounds like you may have eczema, a common skin condition that can cause itching, redness, and irritation. To determine if this is the case, you should see a dermatologist. The dermatologist can recommend an appropriate treatment plan that may include topical medications, light therapy, or oral medications. Additionally, lifestyle changes can help to manage symptoms including avoiding potential triggers, wearing loose fitting clothing, and using a humidifier in your home.

I’m 16 years old I have acne from last 8-12months I have shown to 2 dermatologist but it doesn’t work properly I have acne spots on chest & shoulders too What should I do? & have oily face

Female | 16

It could be for many reasons, including hormones, stress, genetics and skin care products that can cause acne. It is recommended that you consult with dermatologist to assess your skin and determine the best treatment for your specific needs. In the meantime, maintain a gentle and consistent skincare routine, including cleansing your face twice daily with a mild cleanser and moisturizing with a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Avoid irritating ingredients such as alcohol and fragrances.
