I recently got bitten by something called a Nairobi fly, and now I've got these awful blisters that hurt a lot. I've been taking cetrazin antihistamines for the past three days, but they haven't helped at all. The blisters seem to be spreading, and I'm really worried because I don't know how to treat this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

View allI've accidentally torn off a piece of my nail at the base of my thumb, and now half of my lunula is still there, but the other half is missing along with the nail. The exposed nail bed is kind of raised and red. I'm really worried about how long it's going to take to heal and whether my lunula is going to grow back to look like it did before or if it's just going to grow over with clear nail. Any insights on what I can expect?
The healing time for a ripped nail at the base of the thumb can take around 6-12 weeks for the nail bed to fully recover, and 3-6 months for the nail to regrow completely; as for the lunula, it's likely that the exposed area will fill in with new nail growth, but the shape and appearance of the lunula might be altered, and it may not perfectly restore to its original half-moon shape.

Only this one strand was like that. I plucked it out, but now I'm just curious, why would this happen? Is this something I should be worried about?

Along with that, I've been super anxious lately, and I've noticed small whiteheads popping up on my face. I've had an X-ray doneI've got it attached here. I'm really trying to figure out what's going on with me. It's been so confusing and stressful. Any advice or insights?
