    Expert advice for L-Lysine

    • Always clean the wound or burn with mild soap and water before applying L-Lysine. This helps prevent infection and maximizes the medicine’s effectiveness.
    • Apply a thin layer and avoid rubbing it in aggressively. This helps protect the wound while allowing the active ingredients to work.
    • For best results, apply it consistently as directed, usually 1-3 times daily. Consistent use promotes faster healing and reduces the risk of scarring.
    • If recommended by your doctor, cover the wound with a sterile bandage after applying the medicine. This can protect the wound from further irritation.
    • If you notice redness, itching, or swelling after application, stop using the gel and consult your doctor.
    • If your wound or burn is in an area exposed to sunlight, consider covering it or using sunscreen after the wound has healed, as newly healed skin can be sensitive.
