Q What's the best medicine for skin infections and it also causes black spots on my body? answer nowAsked by Zod on February 19, 2025 3:08 pmA
Hello Zod,
Ornidavid (Ofloxacin + Ornidazole) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial and parasitic infections, but it may not be the best option for skin infections that cause black spots. If your skin infection is fungal, bacterial, or due to an allergy, the treatment may vary. You may need an antifungal cream, antibacterial soap, or skin-lightening products for dark spots. It's best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hello Mba Love,
Ornidavid (containing Ofloxacin and Ornidazole) is primarily used to treat bacterial infections, particularly those affecting the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and certain parasitic infections. While it is effective against bacterial infections, it is not typically prescribed for skin infections.
For skin infections, other antibiotics or antifungal medications are usually more appropriate. It's important to consult a healthcare provider to determine the best treatment for a specific skin infection.
