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.

View allI shaved my head and noticed some white patches on my scalp. The skin seems normal without any crusting, and I don't feel any itching or pain. These spots just look like they've lost their color. There's no hair loss or discoloration in the hair itself. Could this possibly be vitiligo?

I've been dealing with a really sticky neck for the last couple of weeks. No matter how often I wash it, the stickiness comes back in just about 10 minutes. I'm sweating a normal amount, and I've never experienced anything like this before. I've tried washing with water and soap, but even right after a shower, my neck feels sticky again within 5 to 10 minutes. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this?
Sticky neck can be frustrating. Possible causes include: - Excessive sweating - Bacterial or fungal infections - Skin conditions like eczema or seborrheic dermatitis - Product buildup Try these remedies: 1. _Antibacterial soap_: Use a mild antibacterial soap to reduce bacteria. 2. _Antifungal powder_: Apply an antifungal powder to reduce fungal growth. 3. _Baby powder or talcum powder_: Absorb moisture and reduce stickiness. 4. _Apple cider vinegar_: Mix with water as a final rinse to balance skin pH. 5. _Tea tree oil_: Mix with water and apply to reduce bacterial and fungal growth.

I'm African American and I've noticed my skin used to be much lighter, but over the past six years, it's gotten so dark that I can barely see myself at night. I spend most of my time indoors and rarely go out. I've tried skin bleaching products before, and they worked, but once I stop using them, my skin becomes darker again. Do you have any suggestions for lotions or treatments I could try to help with this?
