I'm really worried about a burn I got from a silencer. It developed a bubble that turned into pus, and now the outer layer of skin has come off, showing the pinkish inner skin. It's really painful. Could you advise me on what I should do for it?

Sounds like you have a second-degree burn with signs of infection. To help with the pain and prevent infection, you can clean the area gently with mild soap and water, then apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin. Cover the burn with a sterile gauze bandage to protect it. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and monitor for any signs of increasing redness, swelling, or drainage, which may indicate a worsening infection. If the symptoms worsen or do not improve, please seek medical attention.

I'm a 22-year-old woman dealing with acanthosis nigricans and excess weight. I know losing weight will help fade the pigmentation, but I have important events coming up in a month and need a faster solution. Are there any effective bleaching creams, gels, or laser treatments that could quickly reduce the dark patches? It's really affecting my confidence.
For a quicker solution to acanthosis nigricans (AN) within a month, consider a combination of topical treatments and cosmetic procedures, along with maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Topical creams containing ingredients like retinoids, hydroquinone, or salicylic acid can help lighten the skin and improve texture. Chemical peels or laser therapy can also be used to improve the appearance of the dark patches. However, remember that weight loss and managing underlying causes are crucial for long-term improvement

I'm dealing with a fungal infection in the area around my penis and have started using some medications. I have a question about the abzorb powder Im using to prevent sweating in that area. Is it alright to apply it over the cream I'm using? Also, can I use the powder separately, and will it really help with the issue?
No,don't use both cream and powder simultaneously because neither will work ,use ointment twice a day and in between you can use powder.
