Three practical points

  1. Keep a record of the application dates and how the instructions were followed.
  2. Ask the treating professional what recovery should look like and when review is needed.
  3. Report new lesions or symptoms in contacts rather than buying several alternative treatments.

In the Philippines, contact your usual health center, pharmacist or appropriate clinician for individual advice. Service availability and fees vary; ask the provider directly.
