I'm dealing with a cut mark on my left hand that happened back in January 2016. I didn't get any treatment for it at that time. Now, the wound mark has become thick, and I'm experiencing pain and itching there. Even a light touch is painful. Could you advise me on what to do?

I'm dealing with a lot of pimples and acne lately, and I've been using Bbact ointment and aquaminol lotion to help. But today, while washing my face, one of my pimples got irritated, started bleeding, and now there's a blood clot. I'm worried about what I should do next. Any advice?

It's essential to address the bleeding pimple and blood clot properly to promote healing and prevent infection. Assessing the situation: 1. Bleeding pimple: The bleeding could be due to the pimple being scratched, popped, or irritated during washing. 2. Blood clot: The blood clot has formed to protect the wound and promote healing. Immediate steps: 1. Stop using B-bact ointment and aquaminol lotion for now: Avoid applying any topical treatments to the affected area until it's healed. 2. Clean the area gently: Wash the area with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Pat dry with a clean towel. 3. Apply a cold compress: A cold compress or an ice pack wrapped in a cloth can help reduce swelling and ease pain. 4. Avoid picking or scratching: Resist the temptation to pick or scratch the blood clot, as this can lead to infection, scarring, or prolonged healing. Promoting healing: 1. Keep the area moisturized: Apply a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to the affected area to promote healing and prevent dryness. 2. Use a topical antibiotic ointment (if prescribed): If your doctor prescribes a topical antibiotic ointment, apply it as directed to help prevent infection.

I'm really worried because even after getting laser treatment, my warts keep coming back and they're spreading. My doctor just prescribed imiquad, and I've been using it for two weeks, but there's no improvement. Is there something else I can do to stop this?

I've been using Melamet cream for about a month, but when I stopped, I noticed I ended up with hyperpigmentation. I'm really concerned about this because I want to find a cream that'll help remove these pigmentation marks without any nasty side effects. Could you guide me on what I should use? I really need some advice.
