Eh guys, Betadine is (contains) Iodine. It is the generic brand name which is sold here. Yellow package, for sale as OTC in every pharmacy.
Polysporin I never heard of, Neosporin yes. But I'm not so crazy about antibiotics for everything.

I know absolutely nothing about drug
I never use them, not even for headache.
My medical kit contain almost nothing more than plaster and medical tape.
I use to have a bottle of tincture of iodine, it hurt like hell but nothing beat that for heal a scratch. I lost the bottle and can't find anything similar here.

Right after fall everything was wash with antiseptic wipe (not the best but better than nothing) arrived at home I clean well everything and cover everything with a kind of antiseptic paste (sticky).
This morning nothing was bleeding anymore. The antiseptic paste keep thhink moist... Good for the beginning, but now I want it dry!
Everything was clean so I just put a dry bandage upper it for protect it. It should be dry by tonight. After that it would be a matter of time for everything to heal.
Don't worry I will keep a close eyes on this, if anything seem slighty wrong I will go see a doctor.
For the pain... It's not that bad. Only the scratch hurt.
I'm even surprise that nothing hurt that much this morning (front leg is not a particularly sensible place)
Hope you healed ok Phillippe, I use Listerine (the brown stuff) as disinfectant. It was disinfectant before it was ever a mouthwash. Also I still have a couple of tubes of Polysporin I brought from Canada. BTW has anyone seen Polysporin or a suitable substitute here?

Finaly THE question come!
Last week coming back from school my girl ask me:
Papa, why my hair not black?
Her class is fill with mostly chinese, they all have dark black and her she is pale brown with (natural) red reflect.
I show her picture of when I was baby and all blondy - I had turn fast dark red and nor brown
2 days later she come back to me after school with a:
Aku orang apa?
It take me a while before understand what she mean as it was totaly out of nowhere.
When I realize what she was talking about I told her:
You are indonesian
She give me a look like "what are you talking about"
Yah yah you are canadian AND indonesian. Tell people you are indonesian.
She said "ok" and go back play (or fight with her sister).
One time per week she got chinese course... This add to the 3 other. Start to have too much!
