I'm a bit worried because I accidentally poked myself on the face with the sharp end of a blackhead extractor, which felt a lot like a sewing needle. After that, about 12 drops of blood came out. The extractor was new and all I did was rinse it with water before using it. Should I be concerned about getting an infection or any kind of disease from this?

View allI've noticed some purple dots on the head of my penis and the skin is also really dry. The foreskin doesn't seem smooth at all. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should do about it? I'm getting a bit worried.
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of irritation or an infection, possibly related to dry skin or a dermatological condition. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for an examination to rule out any underlying issues such as balanitis or other skin conditions. In the meantime, keeping the area clean and moisturized may help, but it's best to get a professional evaluation.

I've got these old keloid and hypertrophic scars and I'm wondering if using Contractubex and a silicone gel sheet will help flatten them out now. Do you think these treatments could work at this stage?
Contractubex gel and silicon gel sheets can help improve the appearance of old keloid and hypertrophic scars. Apply Contractubex gel thinly on the affected area 2-3 times a day and gently massage it in. For silicon gel sheets, cut the sheet to fit the scar, apply it to clean dry skin for at least 12 hours a day. Consistent use over a period of several months may help flatten and soften the scars.
