Both Mebo Ointment and Dermazin Ointment are used to treat burns and skin wounds, but they differ in their composition, active ingredients, and mechanism of action, resulting in differences in their uses and effects. Understanding these differences helps determine the most appropriate ointment for the type and severity of the injury.
