How exactly should I use this Salactin paint for my warts? Do I need to soak them in water first, or should I just apply it directly on them? I'm a bit unsure about the proper way.

I've been noticing that I seem to get rashes only at night, but by the morning they're completely gone. It's really puzzling and a bit worrying. I'm wondering what could be causing this? Is there something about night time that triggers rashes like these? Should I be concerned, or is this something that can happen normally?
Those rashes can be due to mosquito bites which usually resolves by morning. If those rashes make you uncomfortable causing itching ,irritation please consult dermatologist at the earliest . Take photos of rashes for documentation .

I noticed a light black-brown vertical line on my left thumb today. I don't recall injuring it, but I'm pretty certain it wasn't there before. There's no pain or anything. Could this be something serious?
Likely to be a benign condition known as a splinter hemorrhage. It is usually harmless but can sometimes indicate an underlying medical condition. I recommend monitoring it for any changes in size or color. If you notice any changes or if it persists, you may consider consulting a dermatologist. There is no specific medication for this condition."
