Jatyadi malam

Question

I’ve been dealing with a stubborn wound on my foot that just won’t heal properly. It’s not infected, but it takes forever to dry out and close completely. A family member recommended jatyadi malam, saying it’s great for wound healing. I want to learn more about how to use jatyadi malam and whether it’s the right remedy for my situation.

The wound is from a minor cut that didn’t seem serious at first, but it’s been over two weeks now. Does jatyadi malam work for wounds that have already been slow to heal, or is it more for fresh injuries? Should I clean the wound with anything specific before applying jatyadi malam?

I also wonder if jatyadi malam helps with reducing scars. I’ve had a few wounds in the past that left dark marks, and I’d like to avoid that if possible. How often should I apply jatyadi malam, and should I cover the wound with a bandage afterward?

Lastly, are there any side effects of using jatyadi malam, like irritation or stinging? Is it okay to use for sensitive skin? I’d also like to know if jatyadi malam can be used for burns or insect bites, as I get those occasionally too.
