I'm really worried about my face after a chemical peel with cosmoderma 50. I've ended up with burns on both cheeks, and now I've got these brown patches and pinkish flesh showing. What should I do? Is this normal, and how can I help my skin heal?

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She had a foot corn and used a corn cap, then cleaned it with Dettol for about 45 days, which seemed to burn her skin pretty bad. We went to a dermatologist who prescribed omnacortil 40mg. I read online that this medicine should show effects in about an hour, but she's not feeling any improvement. Her hands and foot look burnt, they're itchy, and she can't fold her fingers because they're swollen. She's also taking augmentin 625mg three times a day. How long does it usually take for the steroid to start working, and when might she start getting better? It's really concerning.
Omnacortil 40mg (Prednisolone)_ 1. *Onset of action*: 1-2 hours, but peak effects may take 4-6 hours. 2. *Expected improvement*: Within 24-48 hours, but full recovery may take 7-10 days. _Augmentin 625mg_ 1. *Antibiotic effects*: Should start showing improvement within 2-3 days. _Current Situation_ 1. *Severe skin reaction*: Dettol can be harsh on skin, causing burns and irritation. 2. *Steroid treatment*: Omnacortil should help reduce inflammation and swelling. 3. *Antibiotic treatment*: Augmentin should help prevent infection.

I'm really concerned because my HSV IgG test came back positive with a range of 24. It's been about a year since I got this virus, and I'm really scared since I've read that there's no cure for herpes. Thankfully, I haven't had any symptoms like pain, swelling, itching, or ulcers on my penis. Next year, I'm getting married, and I'm terrified of infecting my partner. Is there any way to manage or treat this so it doesnt affect my future spouse?

I came across something called a trichilemmal cyst and I'm not sure if it's the same thing as a hair follicle cyst or a hair pillar cyst. Could you explain the differences? Also, how much would it cost to get a trichilemmal cyst removed?
