I'm really concerned about these dark spots that have appeared on the knuckles of my toes. They started last winter and haven't gone away since. When they first showed up, they were hard to the touch, but now they're soft even though the skin is still dark. I'm not sure what to do about them. Can you help?

I had a bandaid on my finger for a couple of days because of a cut, which seemed to have healed. When I took the bandaid off today though, my finger looked kinda weird. What could be going on? Should I be worried or do something about it?

it's likely that the skin under the band-aid has experienced skin irritation or contact dermatitis, possibly due to adhesive or friction; apply a topical antibiotic ointment and cover with a breathable dressing to promote healing, and consider switching to hypoallergenic band-aids or alternative wound dressings in the future.

I'm really confused about whether or not I should be applying oil to my scalp. I've read that some dermatologists say it's not a good idea, but others suggest it's okay. Can someone explain if there's any actual difference between putting oil on the scalp and not doing it? I'm trying to figure out what's best for my hair and scalp health and it's been really confusing with all these mixed messages from experts.
