I'm a bit confused about using halotop. Should I apply it before or after I wash my hair? And should I be putting it directly on my scalp or just on my hair? I'm not sure what's best.

You should use Halotop after washing your hair. Apply it directly on the scalp, not on the hair. Use a small amount and gently massage it into the scalp.

I've been dealing with a case of Acute Paronychia and it seems like it's getting better. The swelling's gone down, and I managed to squeeze out a lot of pus and discharge from the abscess, which I think cleared it out. But I'm not entirely sure, 'cause some odd things are leaving me questioning. Like, I peeled off some dry skin around the swelling area and noticed there's still a bit of a bump. Should I be worried, or is this normal during recovery?

Probable diagnosis is fungal infection , candid cream for local application, once daily for 2 weeks is advised, also tab levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime for 7 days is advised, if any allergic reactions dermat opinion is advised.
