I'm really worried about my 3-year-old daughter who has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Her doctor suggested applying hhfudic cream three times a day for 10 days. I'm just wondering if it's really okay to use it like that. Is there anything else I should know or do?

I have a recurring cyst on my back and I'm wondering if surgery is the only permanent solution to stop it from coming back. Is there any homeopathic medicine that can treat it from the root and prevent future cysts for good?
