White capsules(forgot the exact antibiotics nomenclature) it's never to be swallowed. Applied externally on wounds does lots of fast healing. Mixed in oily cream and apply on wound. Heals faster than any other antibiotics.

Why do people seek or take public opinions concerning their health? No amount should ne too expensive to take care of your physical, mental or emotional health.

I would rather you go to a good hospital and get an expert opinion or treatment. The money you spend on clothing, drinks (other than water) or give people (without returns) should be diverted to your heath first.

It is only when you are healthy, that you can help others.

I'm speaking generally and this post is not directed to only the OP.

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.


See a doctor because it seems some dead skin need to be removed.
Use pure honey on the wound bed and cover it with gauze or bandage and get Augmentin 500mg for infection

Thanks. I learnt it here.

However, I have been advised to use chloramphenicol capsule on the wound, and drink Ampiclox capsule.

What do you think?

Do you mean chloramphenicol cream?. The only form of antibiotics meant to be applied directly on wounds is the cream form.

If you're talking about chloramphecol tablet, then i believe that advice must have come from some of our self-acclaimed ''online medical experts'' here.
An antibiotic tablet will have no effect when directly applied on a wound.

Advise to @OP: Go to a hospital and see licensed healthcare professional. If the situation gets worse after following online advice, u only have yourself to blame.

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.

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE SKG IS 4 OR 500NAIRA EUSOL SOLUTION IS 200 AT MOST, COTTON WOOL 50NAIRA, GAUGE BANDAGE 5INCHES 100NAIRA.
I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU HOW TO MAKE THE EUSOL SOLUTION AT HOME, BUT YOU MIGHT NOT GET THE EXACT CONCENTRATION. EM OK YOU CAN USE MILTON SOLUTION THAT IS USED IN STERILIZING CHILDREN FEEDING BOTTLES, BUT THAT IS EVEN COSTLIER THAN THE COMMON EUSOL SOLUTION THAT GOES FOR 200 OR AT MOST 300 FOR A BOTTLE. TRY THIS METHOD AND IN TWO WEEKS, THE DEPTH WILL ALMOST BE GONE. YOU HAVE A LOVELY SKIN FAIR LADY

Ok. But my primary focus is on the scar itself — not just the depth of the wound.

If after using all these, am I rest assured to receive healing? Will the scar be gone?

Btw, I'm a guy.

Better than Doctors? Don't be ignorant chief!
oga , a pharmacist is that fellow who wouldn’t let the doctor kill you. I have had cases where the doctor writes a prescription that it was a pharmacist that pointed out that it was a huge error. At the end the doctors were called to order. pharmacists research and manufacture the drugs and know the standard doses better . The guy who needed help has a sore in the skin and not a heart disease. don’t forget

He is right and wrong at the same time.

Capsules and cream can be applied to wounds depending on when the wound happened and the type of wound.

If it's a fresh wound, a day after after being cleaned then capsules or cikatrin powder can be administered afterwards. If it's scalds, ointment is preferable, something like penicillin ointment.

From the look on your wound, it's already healing, to prevent germs from entering, it's advisable you use the capsules or cikatrin powder just to cover the remaining opening as the Ampiclox dries it from within.


Yes, Vitamin C will be a nice addition to the drugs preferable the white one with sour taste to aid the antibiotics in its work.

Now listen, go to a chemist; a good one. He'll have to clean the wound thoroughly with Hydrogen and spirit, disinfect also. With the help of lidocaine, you won feel the pains.
The dead tissues should be cut out so as to have a clean fresh wound that can accept the powder you want to apply. Cover properly. Then, you'll need flagyl 400mg b.d 5/7, chymotrypsin; 2 b.d 5/7, anti inflammatory drugs, v.c, and analgesics. Don't forget to inject T.T. Thank ma later

Thanks. But how can the dead tissues be removed without causing pains?

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.
yes I suggest you take vitamins C(orange or white, no difference really) , like 2 thrice daily, as long as there is sore. Also, avoid water touching the surface unnecessarily, except when pressing with hot water, to help remove pus.

no it won't hurt, methylated spirit will only hurt when you apply it on fresh wound.

Iodine solution is meant for burns only.... I stand corrected though.

no sir it's not meant for burns only
