Question

I've got this really bad pain and swelling going on in one of my toes, and I'm pretty sure it's due to an ingrown nail. I'm not sure who I should see about this. What kind of doctor or specialist would be the best to consult for something like this? Also, what kind of treatment should I expect or ask for?

Consult a podiatrist or a dermatologist for ingrown toenail treatment, which may involve soaking, trimming, or surgically removing the nail, and in severe cases, antibiotics or partial nail avulsion may be prescribed.

Question

2 days ago, I accidentally touched the hot silencer of my bike with the lower part of my leg just above my feet. I quickly did a cold compress and have been using Silverex Ionic on it since. Now, the skin has turned dark and dry, and I'm noticing a lot of blisters that keep breaking. Most of the time a water-like substance is coming out of them. What medications should I take? I'm also attaching some pictures from when the accident happened and what it looks like now. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm struggling a lot with melasma and it's been going on for about 2 years now. I've seen so many doctors and tried different treatments, but nothing seems to work. Is there a permanent solution to this issue? It's getting quite frustrating.
