Question

I'm really worried right now. While I was shaving with a trimmer that has stainless steel blades, I accidentally got a cut on my scrotum. It bled quite a bit, and I noticed the skin has peeled off in about 23 places. The bleeding has stopped, but I'm unsure about how to help it heal properly. What should I apply to these cuts to prevent any further problems?

Question

I've been dealing with a fungal infection around my thigh area and lower abdomen, and it seems to be spreading. I've tried a few different medications, but I can't remember their names, and I've even applied apple cider vinegar with no luck. Could you suggest some effective medicines or treatments that might help me get rid of it?

Question

I've been using Skinlite cream since January 2017, but when I stopped, I noticed my nose and mouth area getting darker. I just saw a dermatologist in Warangal, and he recommended some tablets and Nadibact gel. I feel really self-conscious at work when talking to my colleagues because of this. Is there a way to lighten my skin again? Can you help me figure out what to do next?

Question

I recently had a minor accident and got some scratches on my feet where the skin peeled off. I went to the hospital to get it dressed and, a couple of days later, began using this Megaheal Ointment. But now I'm noticing that the ointment forms this layer over my wound, almost like gum. I'm curious and a bit concerned because the wound seems like it's still wet. Every time I apply more ointment, it keeps forming this thick layer. Should I be cleaning off the old layer before putting on new ointment, or is it okay to just keep adding it on top? I'm wondering if this layer is actually helping my wound to heal or if I should be doing something differently. I'm also a bit worried about the pain I might feel if I have to peel off that thick layer from the ointment. Am I doing the right thing for healing, or is there something I should change?
