I got bitten by a Nairobi fly on my face, and after using some ointments, it just spread more. Now Im using Colgate since Ive heard it works for others, but Im really concerned. Could you help me with this?
1. Stop using Colgate: While it may have worked for others, using toothpaste on skin can be irritating and dry out the skin, making the situation worse.2. Clean the area: Wash the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water to remove any bacteria or debris.3. Apply a topical antibiotic ointment: Use a topical antibiotic ointment, such as Neosporin or Bacitracin, to help prevent infection and promote healing.4. Use a hydrocortisone cream: Apply a hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation and itching.5. Avoid scratching: Scratching can lead to further irritation, infection, and scarring.If the symptoms persist, worsen,seek medical attention
