I'm dealing with a dressing issue and could really use some advice. I have a wound dressing made using cotton dipped in povidone iodine solution, and it's stuck pretty firmly to the wound. It's been tough trying to remove it without causing any harm or pain. Do you have any suggestions on how I can safely take it off? I'm really worried about this and want to make sure I don't aggravate my wound further.

Question

I've been dealing with this relentless itchiness on my thighs whenever I get into bed at night, and it just won't stop until I somehow fall asleep. There's a rash on one of my thighs, and I'm convinced it's not a bite, since I haven't been bitten elsewhere. It's been going on for a couple of weeks. What could this be? Should I be worried?

Question

I've noticed a big rash on the side of my neck, and I'm worried it might be caused by lizard urine getting on my skin. It's pretty uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could this really be the cause, and what should I do to treat it?
