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 this really annoying itching and rashes around my scrotum and anus area for a few months now. It's pretty uncomfortable, and now I've noticed that the skin there has developed some dark patches. I've been using Candid powder and Suthol after showers, but it doesn't seem to be completely resolving the issue. Is there something else I could be doing to get rid of the itching?

candid cream for local application , tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient..

What fruit is good for eczema?

Fruits with flavonoids such as Apples, Broccoli, Cherries, Blueberries, Spinach, Kale can be taken as they help in fighting inflammation. But many triggers might bring on eczema-related symptoms including what we eat and each person has different allergens. There's no one diet plan that suits all. It is better to have diet rich in fruits, vegetables and healthy fats according to your allergies.
