Bloodofthelambo:
good day.
I'd advise you use Flagyl instead,
Ampicillin cannot dry the surface,
For fast healing take
Vitamin C
Then if you feel like applying anything, [b]clean the surface with spirit[b], or press gently with hot water, then apply Flagyl(antibiotic) on the surface, it will reduce risk of infection on the surface.


Sorry, you mean I should lick the normal white/pink Vitamin C tablet that is sold in the chemist shop?

Pls, won't the spirit give me unbearable pains because, I want to use it in cleaning the Ampicillin powder I sprinkled on it since morning? And I don't think it can get infected cos sooner I'll be sprinkling a different capsule on it — so It won't be open for infection.

Good morning all,


Pls doctors and nurses in the house, I need your suggestions.


Not so long ago, I had a wound on my arm that later formed a lil raised scar, though I've been on steroid injections (Tetramicinolone) for sometime now and it has shrinked to the barest minimum, but I had to peel it open, so I can be able to sprinkle powdered capsule (Ampicillin) on the surface — to fasten the healing process.

But I don't know if sprinkling the capsule on it would dry off the wound, thereby healing it.

I am open to any other suggestion that would prove effective.

In this case, it is a keloid scar, but it's getting smaller by the day.

Anyway, thanks for the advice.

That must be because of the steroids, happy for you

When similar thing happened to me, I was informed by the pharmacist to use Vitamin C as well as Beecham Ampiclox. It worked well! But I suggest you get the services of a medical expert and get it tested to ascertain if there are any underlying issue.


Please, how did you use the Vitamin C and Beecham Ampiclox? Is it the normal Vitamin C tablet, and did you drink the later or you sprinkled it on the wound?

Your response will be appreciated.

A nurse recommended Ampicillin for me after letting her know that I'm confused on which to use between the two — Ampiclox and Ampicillin.

Did yours form a raised scar?
To me i used flagyl and it works perfectly.

No. The wound had already healed and formed a raised scar, so I was placed on steroids since last year and so far it has shrinked over 70% — I just got the sixth shot.

Presently, two days ago, I decided to peel the remaining scar from one of the spots the injection was given, I succeeded in peeling the center area. And that was how we got here.

Ok, noted

Meanwhile, there's no scientific evidence that antibiotics meant for oral intake work when directly applied on wounds.

If there's any need for antibiotics(i don't see any evidence of infection in your wound), creams should be preferably used. You can get Clindamycin cream from a pharmacy.

NB: Antibiotics don't ''dry'' wounds. Their role is to remove or prevent infections in wounds, while the body heals itself through its regenerative properties.
External factors, like Vitamins C, Bco, etc, only play facilitating roles.

Use chloramphenicol capsule on the open wound then drink lincomyncin or ampiclox capsules to dry it.


Quick recovery.

One more thing please, which is more effective between Ampiclox and Ampiclox by beecham?

Healing is already going on as evidenced by the scarification.

But if you can get unadulterated honey, it will hasten the process. If not, get povidone iodine cream and apply on the wound 3× daily for at least 2 weeks. Penicillin ointment can also do.


Except you are taking ampicillin or ampliclox for something else, please stop the antibiotics.. What you need is local wound care, not to be swallowing antibiotics like sweet.

CAPSULES WILL DEEPEN THE WOUND, WE USE ANTIBIOTICS POWDERS FOR SURFACE WOUNDS NOT DEEP INJURIES. THE FIRST STEP IS TO REMOVE THE DEAD CELLS COVERING THE WOUND WITH SHARP RAZOR OR SCISSORS, CLEAN THE WOULD WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE LOOK FOR THE ONE MADE BY SKG,(SMITHKLINE GROUP). MAKE SURE IT FOAMS VERY WELL MANY WOMEN USE IT TO DYE THEIR HAIR. AFTER THOROUGHLY WASHING IT WITH PEROXIDE SOLUTION, USE EUSOL SOLUTION TO CLEAN IT, THEN SOAK GAUZE BANDAGE IN THE EUSOL SOLUTION SQUEEZE IT OUT AS A WAY OF STERILIZATION, DO SAME TO A COTTON WOOL FOLD THE COTTON WOOL INSIDE THE GAUZE AND PLACE IT ON THE WOUND, USE PLASTER TO SECURE IT IN PLACE.

Tetracycline capsules will do. Dunno if they still produce them though.

Honestly, It's hard to get. I think I'll also get the penicillin ointment because it has been repeatedly mentioned. Thanks.

Reading through comments here i realized antibiotic abuse is way beyond what is written in books.
A time is coming(the time is already here) when no matter the class of antibiotics used, significant progress can't be made with the existing antibiotics.

We need to enlighten people on what antibiotics are & why they shouldn't be abused.

We also have to ban sales of antibiotics in parent(chemistry) medical stores.

Pharmacists should be retrained on proper dispensing of antibiotics(with prescriptions only).

Loool.. you had an hypertrophic scar which means you are predisposed to hypertrophic scars, after managing to use triamcinolone injection to reduce it, you still want to open it up and put amoxicillin....lol

And you dont think that will cause another raised scar... ? Leave the thing alone, go to the doctor that prescribed Tramcinolone to you if you need advice

You seem to be a pharmacist or something similar.

However, this is a well detailed recommendation, but I don't think I can be able to get all these — at least, for now.

Thanks, anyway.

Not exactly. Both are complications of wound healing. Keloid is not a type of hypertrophic scar. Pathophysiology are almost the same though.
