View allI'm dealing with this dark brown pus that's coming from my hand and back, and it's got this really bad smell. Is this something normal that happens sometimes, or should I be worried about it? And what kind of treatment would you recommend for something like this?
Dark brown pus with a foul smell is not normal and indicates a bacterial infection. *Possible Causes* 1. *Folliculitis*: Infected hair follicles can cause pus-filled bumps. 2. *Abscess*: A pocket of pus that forms in the skin, often caused by bacterial infections. 3. *Infected cysts or boils*: Blocked pores or oil glands can become infected, leading to pus and a foul smell. 4. *Cellulitis*: A bacterial infection of the skin and underlying tissues. *Treatment* 1. *Antibiotics*: Topical or oral antibiotics may be prescribed to treat the bacterial infection. 2. *Warm compresses*: Applying a warm, damp washcloth to the affected area can help bring the pus to a head and encourage drainage. 3. *Incision and drainage*: In some cases, a doctor may need to drain the pus by making a small incision. 4. *Good hygiene*: Keeping the affected area clean and dry can help prevent the spread of infection.

I've noticed these red dot bumps on the head of my penis and a few on my scrotum, and they're really itchy. I looked it up and it seems like it might be scabies. What would be the best medication or cream to use for this, and how long should I continue treatment?
For scabies, you can use a topical medication called Permethrin cream. Apply the cream all over your body from the neck down and leave it on for 8-14 hours before washing it off. You should repeat this process in 1 week. Additionally, you can take an oral medication called Ivermectin to help treat the scabies. It is important to wash all clothes, bedding, and towels in hot water to prevent re-infestation.

I have a wart near my left eye and my doctor recommended removing it with surgery under local anesthesia as a precaution, even though it's not causing problems now. Since it's so close to my eye, is the procedure safe? Could there be any risk of nerve damage or other complications? Also, what are the chances of it coming back after removal?
Wart removal near the eye is usually safe with local anesthesia; consult an experienced surgeon to avoid nerve damage and minimize recurrence.
