I accidentally burned my middle finger with hot oil about a week ago. I've been taking cefpodoxime 200mg twice daily, using megaheal cream for the dressing, and taking diclo p tablets for the pain. But it still hurts when I'm changing the dressing. Is there anything else I can do to help it heal faster?

I've been dealing with some issues for the past 10 months involving my penis. I'm experiencing symptoms like khaijal, danesu, jankhujli, and a burning sensation after I pee. It's really uncomfortable and I'm not sure what's causing all of this. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I might do about it?

I strongly advise you to consult a dermatologist or a urologist as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I have these large warts above my lower back and they're really bothering me. Is there any medication or treatment that can get rid of them without needing surgery? I'm worried about how big they are and would prefer to avoid an operation if possible.

I'm really worried because I've been getting these deep cuts all over my feet and palms, and it's just so painful. It's strange because it's not happening anywhere else on my body. It's gotten so bad that I can't even work or let water touch them without feeling intense pain. I've seen about 3 or 4 skin doctors so far, but nothing seems to help. Can you please give me some advice or suggestions?
