Saad, the question was not talking about moisturising. Sometimes cream is needed for muscular pain or insect bites.

Did you know that if you want to look after your skin apply crushed dried corn with honey and Saffron. Do 3 times a day and you could improve your skin . It actually reduces bags under the eyes and fine lines around the Mouth . Been using it for 7 years and its brilliant.

Player #72356142, it’s a cream or gel. Example: anti-itch or triple antibiotic ointment.

(Continueng on with the MRI story) But I didn't let them so they had to wrap it on so I wouldn't take it off. and They also had to pretend that I had a broken arm. 😒 It was pretty annoying. 😑

Guillermo, I had to get an MRI done to see why I couldn't sleep but I was afraid of the machine... so they tried to inject a serum to make me fall asleep.

I am a nurse.. if a patient does not cooperate in taking medication.. we will administer it rectally in a heartbeat and without batting an eyelash.. so cooperate with your nurses folks..
