Question

I was admitted to the hospital for a bedsore about 10 days ago and was given antibiotics. The heel is healing slowly but some parts still don't seem fully healed. The doctors initially mentioned plastic surgery but later said it should get better on its own. Should I keep taking the antibiotics or switch to betadine ointment now? The wound looks better but not completely closed.

Question

I'm really worried about using Colgate Advanced Toothpaste on my pimples. I put it on two spots: one above my lips and one in the center of my forehead. It seemed okay the first two times, but the third time I left it on overnight and woke up with two dark brown scars. I was able to peel most of the scar on my forehead, but now there's an acne and some light pink skin around it. What's going on? Is there anything I can do to fix this?
