Is Placentrex Gel Recommended For Sensitive Wounds In Facial Areas?
I got scratched on my face[bushes] and have been recommended placentrex gel[Albert David]. i understand it helps in regeneration and repair but do i need to apply any antibiotic ointment along with it? Also, every time i apply a fresh coat, the wound tingles and i get a burning sensation which goes down after half hour..is that to be expected?

Hello,thanks for your query .
1.palcentrex gel is usually devoid of any side effects ,so do not worry about the tingling /burning sensation.Besides it will reduce appearance of swelling .
2.you can definitely apply an antibiotic gel/cream(eye ointment prep. like ciprofloxacin/neosporin will give soothing sensation as well) on the skin.
3.alternate applications of antiboitic and placentrex aill give you faster results .
get well soon.
