To avoid such problems, antibiotics should be used only after they are prescribed by a doctor.
9. Take care of your nerves
If a person is often nervous, sooner or later he will have health problems. Numerous unrest very badly affect the skin: it often begins to peel off, become inflamed.

If wounds appear in the corners of the mouth, the skin begins to peel off, which means that you need to additionally use B vitamins. Thanks to them, the problems will have to disappear in a few days. To avoid their recurrence, start eating brown bread, greens and liver more often.
8. Drink more

Cover the cut with a band-aid and do not wet it with water: it will heal faster.
5. Refuse antibacterial soap
