View allI've got a lump between my thumb and index finger from an injury I got while playing cricket. A ball smacked right into my thumb, jamming it pretty hard, which left my hand swollen for over a week. The swelling finally went down, but now there's this hard lump in the webbing that still really hurts even with just a slight touch. It's been more than a year and I've tried icing it, but there's been no improvement. What should I do?
orthopedic opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been struggling with these rashes that keep coming back even though I'm following my dermatologist's treatment. The meds worked at first but now I'm still getting rashes during the course and once it's done, it's back again. I've taken so many medicines over the last few months, and I'm worried if I'm missing something. How can I clear these allergies completely from my body?
