Is metrogel safe to use on scratches, etc?

[Squish22]

I've been using metrogel for a few months now for a place on my cheek. It's finally clearing up, but my entire face was scratched up today, including the area I typically treat with metrogel. Is the metrogel safe to use on fresh scratches and sores to continue treatment. If so, would it be good to also put the metrogel on my entire face to help with all the scratch marks?

Hi there,
Metrogel is used for chronic skin disorders like rosacea, and for reducing the odour associated with malodorous fungating tumours.This medicine is for external use only. If you think that you have developed this scratchy type of rash after using the gel it is recommended to stop the gel. I will advise you to see a dermatologist and get your rash seen. Only a clinical examination can confirm the cause of your rash and treatment will depend on the cause. Do keep me posted.
Best of luck and regards!
