I noticed what I initially thought was a bite, and it was a pale red at first. But now it's turned this darker red and kind of looks like a blood blister. Should I be worried about this change, and does it sound like something I should get checked out?

Since the iron rod pierced your foot, it's essential to consider tetanus prevention. Tetanus is a serious bacterial infection that can enter your body through cuts or wounds, especially those exposed to dirt or soil . Given that your injury isn't deep, you'll still need to assess your tetanus vaccination status. If you've had a tetanus shot within the last 10 years, you're likely covered. However, if it's been more than 10 years or you're unsure, it's best to get a booster shot within 48 to 72 hours after the injury . To further minimize the risk of tetanus infection: - *Clean the wound*: Wash the injured area with soap and water, and dry it with a clean towel. - *Apply antibiotic ointment*: Put a thin layer of antibiotic ointment on the affected area to help prevent infection. - *Cover the wound*: Cover the injured area with a bandage or dressing to keep it clean and protect it from further irritation.

I'm really worried because I got these cortisone injections on my face, even though it wasn't for cystic acne. The dermatologist injected on some pimples and some other areas, and now Im starting to notice some discoloration and mild atrophy. I'm really concerned it might get worse. I usually use a toner with lactic acid and citric acidis it okay to keep using it, or should I avoid certain products? Will my skin eventually get better? It just feels like my condition wasn't treated properly, and I'm anxious about what's happening.
I recommend reducing exfoliation and switching to more gentle, hydrating products while you wait for your skin to heal. If the issues persist or worsen, dont hesitate to follow up with your dermatologist for further advice.

I'm dealing with mild acne and have noticed that my skin tends to be pretty dry. I'm thinking about using Alograce cream at night to help with the dryness, but I'm a bit unsure if it's suitable for acne or if it will actually help moisturize my skin. Could you give me some advice on whether this is a good idea or if there's something better I should consider?
Yes you ca try with it if it doesnt work visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
