I'm noticing a tiny red blood clot in my nose and some acne issues on my cheeks and face. Plus, there are these blackheads that just won't go away. Should I be concerned about the blood clot, and what can I do about the acne and blackheads?

I'm a bit worried because I accidentally poked myself on the face with the sharp end of a blackhead extractor, which felt a lot like a sewing needle. After that, about 12 drops of blood came out. The extractor was new and all I did was rinse it with water before using it. Should I be concerned about getting an infection or any kind of disease from this?

Yes take tetanus shot and get your wound cleaned properly for good healing.

I'm really struggling to find a cleanser or face wash that's gentle enough for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. I need something that wont burn or irritate but can still clean my pores deeply, getting rid of all the dirt and makeup residue in just one wash. At the same time, it should be effective against my acne and pimples. Any recommendations?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I've been experiencing a lot of itching under my testicles and around my anus, and sometimes it gets pretty intense. I'm not sure if there's a cream I can use to help with this, or if I should be seeing a doctor instead. Any ideas?
