Question 1

Hi doctor, Ive been struggling with ringworm for a year now. I tried allopathy, but it didnt work. Ive recently started ayurvedic treatment, and its showing some improvement. I came across information online saying that using salicylic acid or Sapat lotion can give results in just a couple of days. Is that true? Im really frustrated and just want to know what would actually help. Could you guide me on this?

I applied Salactin paint on my ankle to remove some hard skin, but after using it for a day, the skin turned black and red. It looks like it got burnt. What should I do to treat it and help it heal?

However, it can also cause irritation, especially if used incorrectly or on sensitive skin.The black and red discoloration you've described suggests a chemical burn or severe irritation. To promote healing and reduce discomfort, follow these steps:Immediate Care1. Stop using Salactin paint: Discontinue use immediately to prevent further irritation.2. Wash the area: Gently wash the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water to remove any remaining salicylic acid.3. Apply a topical cream: Use a topical cream or gel containing aloe vera, hydrocortisone (1%), or calamine to help soothe and calm the skin.

Question 6

I had leech bites few months back. I tried applying boroline regularly but its still not going away. It feels itchy every now and then. Not very troubling but still it's been quite some time now

Accepted Answer

Seems like the leech bites may have caused some irritation and itching. To help with the healing process and alleviate the itching, you can try applying an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream like Cortaid. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for about a week. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Claritin can also help with the itching. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
