I've got this really painful issue down there. I had a skin tag and someone suggested I use garlic paste on it. But now, my anus and the area around it are badly burned, and it's super painful. The skin turned white and red in places. I'm not sure what to do about it, and I'm really worried. Can you advise me on how to deal with this?

I had an accident a few days ago and ended up with some wounds on my right hand. The skin right before my elbow is peeled off. I've been using megaheal ointment on it, but I'm really not sure if that's the right choice. Could you recommend if I should continue with this or suggest a different ointment? I'm a bit uncertain about what's best for healing my injury.

I'm really struggling with my oily skin. My face is constantly breaking out, especially with pimples on my chin and blackheads on my nose. It gets worse right before or during my periods. I always seem to get at least one or two painful pimples that start reddish, then they turn yellowish with pus. They leave marks on my skin when they eventually go away. Its really frustrating and I dont know what to do. Can you give me any advice?
