Question 1

how effective is tetmosol soap in curing scabies?

Accepted Answer

Scabies: One way of addressing scabies is scrubbing with Tetmosol soap and then applying benzoyl benzoate to the skin .

Question 2

will tetmosol soap help with itching rash?

Accepted Answer

No: Tetmosol is a parasiticide, which works by acting against the burrowing mite Sarcoptes scabiei, the infective cause of scabies. Unless you have been diagnosed with scabies I would avoid this soap as a treatment. See a Dermatologist or Allergist to determine type and cause of rash.

Question 3

hello docs. i was wondering can we wash facial scab with mild soap?

Accepted Answer

I would clean lesion: with 1/2 hydrogen peroxide and 1/2 water and apply topical antibiotic, if lesion not healed in a week you should see a dermatologist to run a culture or consider biopsy

Question 4

i washed my penis with soap but i had gotten sharpie on it (don't ask) so i had to scrub to remove it. soap got in there and made it scab up. okay?

Accepted Answer

"Permanent" markers: The common Sharpie marker is "permanent". The ink stains the skin cells. The marked cells fall off over time, as all skin cells fall off when new cells rise up from underneath. It is hard to wash Sharpie drawings off with soap... which means a scrubbing harshly will rip off skin cells and cause a minor wound that may scab while healing. If it doesn't heal quickly, a person should see his doctor.

Question 5

if i get feces on a little scab, not big and healing, and i washed it with soap and water and alcohol can it still get infected?

Accepted Answer

: If your feces is clean, than no problem. If wound is closed, than no transmission. An open wound and infected feces can cause a Septicemia or a Sepsis. Washing is the correct response, look for any adverse effects, and see your PCP if any occur.

Question 6

im three weeks into my circumcision, everything but the frenulum is fully healed, there was a scab on it that snagged on my jeans, i cleaned the wound with soap and water, some antiseptic, applied merbromin and covered with a bandaid, am i ok?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you are not having any significant bleeding, I believe the measures you are taking should suffice.   If you do have bleeding, redness that is climbing up the shaft of the penis or fever notify your urologist.

Question 7

i used an antibacterial black soap on my face to get rid of acne and my skin didn't react to well to it. two days later my skin started to peel off.then im getting these facial scabs that really burn.im using aloe vera right now but it dosent seem to work

Accepted Answer

Steroid: You probably need a topical steroid that your dermatologist can prescribe to you.

Question 8

my 17 yr old indoor-only cat scratched a tiny existing scab off of my hand with his teeth and made it bleed a little. not technically a bite. i washed with soap and water and applied triple-antibiotic ointment. tetanus is up to date. am i okay?

Accepted Answer

: Most likely.  Keep an eye on it for a few days.  I gets bigger or begins to drain or turns red around the scab or hurts or feels hot see your Dr.

Question 9

i had testicular torsion and had surgery 6 weeks ago. i still have a scab on my scrotum that comes and goes how can i treat it to make it dissappear. i take shower everyday and wash it with soap and water. i put no vase on it and don't cover it?

Accepted Answer

: Six weeks after surgery your wound should be closed and might possibly have some scab still.  Washing every day with soap and water is the right treatment.  It will close eventually, gradually.  If it is not getting smaller, please consult your surgeon.

Question 10
