I'm facing a bit of a situation with a wound on my leg that's taking a while to heal, and I could really use some guidance. So my bike skidded about a month and a half ago and I ended up hitting my leg on the footpath. Most of the wound has healed, but there's this small part, about the size of a fingertip, thats still raw. It's been oozing this clear, watery liquidnot yellowwhich I think might be preventing it from healing completely. I saw Dr. Prashanth BN at Vijayshree hospital and have been keeping up with regular dressing and using Augmentin D as an antibiotic and Betadine as an ointment, even tried turmeric powder on it. Pain's gone down, but I'm out of town now and wondering what else I can do to get it to heal fully. Any advice on how to stop this liquid and get the wound completely healed?

Postpartum Nose Bleeding and Eye Redness

Causes

Hormonal changes: Postpartum hormonal fluctuations can cause blood vessels to become more fragile, leading to nosebleeds.

Dry air: Low humidity can dry out nasal passages, increasing the risk of nosebleeds.

Increased blood pressure: Postpartum hypertension can cause blood vessels to become more susceptible to bleeding.

Eye strain: Fatigue, dry eyes, or eye irritation can cause eye redness.

Precautions and Recommendations

Monitor and report: Keep track of nosebleeds and eye redness, and report any changes or concerns to your healthcare provider.

ENT specialist: Consult an ENT specialist to rule out any underlying conditions, such as nasal polyps or sinus infections.

Eye doctor: Schedule an appointment with an eye doctor to assess eye health and address any concerns.

Gynecologist follow-up: Schedule a postpartum follow-up with your gynecologist to discuss any concerns or symptoms.

Breastfeeding

Continue breastfeeding: Nosebleeds and eye redness are not typically contraindications for breastfeeding.

Monitor for any changes: If you notice any changes in your milk supply, baby's behavior, or your overall health, consult your healthcare provider.

Please Note

Seek immediate attention: If nosebleeds are heavy, frequent, or accompanied by other symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or shortness of breath.

I'm using Minokem N2 for my beard growth since June, but recently, in the last couple of weeks, I've noticed a lot of pimples popping up on my right cheek. I'm a bit worried and wondering if I should stop using Minokem. Could you also give me some advice on how to get rid of these pimples?

I recommend stopping the use of Minokem N2% and consulting with a dermatologist for further evaluation. To help cure the pimples, you can use a topical acne treatment like Benzoyl Peroxide gel (2.5%) twice daily on the affected area after washing your face with a gentle cleanser. Additionally, you can use a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. If the pimples persist or worsen, please seek medical advice from a dermatologist.

I'm curious about breast enlargement creams and their effectiveness. Could you explain how these creams work? Are there any potential pros and cons I should be aware of before considering using them?

Breast enlargement creams often claim to enhance size through ingredients like phytoestrogens, but their effectiveness is not scientifically proven, and results, if any, are usually temporary. While they are generally non-invasive, they may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. For lasting changes, consult a specialist to explore safe, evidence-based options.
