View allI noticed a big pus-filled bump on my dad's back and when I pressed it, most of the pus came out. I've cleaned it with Savlon and dressed it with Betadine. I started giving him Augmentin 650 yesterday. Could you advise me on what else I should do or if there's something more I should be concerned about?

I'm worried about the possibility of having sex with my husband while he's still being treated for scabies. He's only put on the cream twice, and we're noticing his skin starting to dry up in those spots. Is it okay for us to be intimate now, or should we wait a bit longer?
It's generally recommended to avoid intimate contact, including sex, until your husband has completed the full scabies treatment course, usually 2-3 applications of permethrin cream, 7-10 days apart, and has been symptom-free for at least 24-48 hours, to minimize the risk of transmission, as scabies mites can survive off the human host for up to 72 hours.

I've been dealing with really bad dark circles under my eyes ever since I started wearing glasses. I'm really wondering if the glasses might be causing this issue. Could there be a connection between my dark circles and my glasses, and what can I do to get rid of them?
Dark circles under the eyes 1. _Indirect connection_: Wearing glasses can lead to increased eye strain, rubbing, and poor circulation, which may contribute to dark circles. 2. _Not a direct cause_: Glasses themselves do not directly cause dark circles. _Removing Dark Circles_ 1. _Eye creams_: Use a cream containing caffeine, peptides, or vitamin K to reduce puffiness and discoloration. 2. _Cold compress_: Apply a cold, damp cloth to the area to constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling. 3. _Elevate your head_: Sleep with an extra pillow to reduce fluid accumulation under your eyes. 4. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and plump. 5. _Get enough sleep_: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep to help reduce puffiness and dark circles. 6. _Avoid rubbing your eyes_: Gently pat the area instead of rubbing, which can cause further irritation. _Glasses-Related Tips_ 1. _Adjust your glasses_: Ensure your glasses fit properly and don't put pressure on your nose or eyes. 2. _Follow the 20-20-20 rule_: Every 20 minutes, look away from your screen and focus on something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. 3. _Blink regularly_: Make a conscious effort to blink while wearing glasses to prevent dry eyes.
