Question

I accidentally burned my middle finger with hot oil about a week ago. I've been taking cefpodoxime 200mg twice daily, using megaheal cream for the dressing, and taking diclo p tablets for the pain. But it still hurts when I'm changing the dressing. Is there anything else I can do to help it heal faster?

Question

I've been dealing with this weird reaction tiny itchy red bumps after using fast relief on my left knee. So I switched to Volini spray, but it gave me rashes on my right leg. Any idea what's causing these skin issues? And do you know of a pain relief ointment that's maybe a bit gentler or less allergenic? I've been applying aloe gel to soothe the rashes and the bumps have gotten better, but the itching is still really bothering me. What can I do about it?

Question

I've noticed my skin is getting darker, and I've got these patches with hard, dry areas. I was told it might be macular amyloidosis, so a doctor prescribed glutathione pills and some creams, but I didn't see any improvement and stopped. I'm really worried because I'm not sure if there's a permanent solution to this. Is there a more effective treatment out there?
