I got bitten by a leech on July 21st, 2019, and since then I've had a tetanus shot and been on antibiotics. Now I'm experiencing some itching and rashes. Should I be worried about any long-term effects or is this a normal reaction?

I'm a bit confused about how to use Salytar solution for my dandruff. Should I dampen my hair before applying it, or is it fine to just put it straight on dry hair? And after I apply it, do I need to wash my hair with shampoo or will rinsing with water be enough?

apply it on damp hair and wash it off with water and follow your doctors advice

I've had this lump filled with pus on one of my butt cheeks for about a month now, and it was really painful. I pressed on it to get the pus out, and while it's not inflamed or painful anymore, the skin's still hard. Do you know how I can get rid of the scar and get my skin back to normal? Also, I'm wondering why this happened in the first place and how I can prevent it from happening again.

Give time it will heal on its own,no need to worry,that could be due folliculitis or any other regular abscess,if there is recurrence,visit Surgeon for appropriate management
