I accidentally pulled out a tiny broken piece from my toenail and now there's some light redness and swelling on the side of my right toenail. I've been soaking my feet in warm water as a warm compress, but Im wondering if its okay to use Soframycin as an ointment to help with this. Does that sound like a good idea, or should I be doing something else?

I've been dealing with some really uncomfortable crotch itching for the last month. I tried using Tyza cream, but it hasn't really worked as well as I hoped. Is there anything else I could try or do to get some relief?

Consider consulting a dermatologist for persistent crotch itching, as it may be a fungal or bacterial infection, or a skin condition like eczema or psoriasis; in the meantime, maintain good hygiene

I have two keloids on my chest and I'm really worried about them. Can they be treated with medicines or would I need surgery? I've heard mixed things and I'm not sure what the best option is. Are there any risks with either treatment?

Keloids can be treated with both medicines and surgery, and the best option depends on the size, location, and individual characteristics of the keloid.corticosteroid injections or creams, along with silicone gel sheets or dressings, are often used to reduce keloid size and improve appearance. Surgery might be an option, but it comes with a risk of recurrence.
