I'm dealing with a 2nd degree burn on my leg from touching a two-wheeler silencer. It's been 10 days and I'm still experiencing pain and irritation. I showed it to a skin doctor but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should be doing to help it heal faster. Any advice?

View allI've got milia under my eyes and I'm really curious if there's a way to treat them permanently. Also, what kind of precautions can I take to stop them from coming back once they're treated? I'm just looking for some advice to better understand my options.
Yes, milia can be treated permanently with professional extraction or other treatments. To prevent recurrence: 1. Maintain good skincare habits. 2. Use sunscreen daily. 3. Avoid heavy skincare products. 4. Keep hands away from the area. 5. Exfoliate regularly. For milia under the eyes, consider: 1. Consulting a dermatologist for professional extraction. 2.

I'm really worried about using Emolene because I keep hearing it's packed with chemicals and might not be safe. My skin is super sensitive and dry, and I'm afraid it might cause breakouts. Do you think it's okay to use, or should I look for something else?
Emolene cream is generally considered safe for use on sensitive and dry skin. It is a moisturizing cream that helps to hydrate and soothe the skin. However, as with any skincare product, there is a possibility of individual sensitivity or allergic reactions to certain ingredients. It is always recommended to do a patch test before using it on a larger area of the skin. Emolene cream does not typically cause breakouts, but if you have a history of acne-prone skin, it is advisable to consult with a dermatologist before using it extensively. The key is to use a small amount initially and monitor how your skin reacts. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, discontinue use and seek medical advice.

I'm a bit worried because I've been using minoxidil 5% for about five days now, and I've really been struggling with getting a good night's sleep. Could this sleeplessness be a side effect of minoxidil?
-Yes, sleeplessness can be a rare side effect of minoxidil, though it's uncommon. If the issue persists or worsens, consider consulting your doctor to explore alternatives or adjustments.
