I'm dealing with these jock itch scars and wondering if there's a way to get rid of them for good or if they'll just go away on their own. Also, is there a specific cream I should be using?

View allI applied lime on a mole on my face on August 1st, 2017, and it led to a burn. The burned skin came off on August 7th, but now the area is red. I'm currently using Fucidin ointment as advised by my doctor, but it's still red. My engagement is on August 25th, 2017. Can you suggest how I can heal it or make it better?
Given the burn injury and prolonged redness, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice; in addition to Fucidin ointment, apply topical treatments like aloe vera gel, silicone sheets, or vitamin E oil to promote healing and reduce redness; also, try cool compresses, avoid direct sun exposure, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to minimize scarring and hyperpigmentation, and hopefully, your skin will improve by your engagement date.

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with dinay for the past six months. It goes away when I use clobikem cream, but then it comes back and starts spreading after a few days. What could be causing this, and what should I do to finally get rid of it for good?

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.
