I'm really worried about my mom. She's dealing with this skin disease called sappi in Telugu, and it's affecting the right side of her face. It looks like it's covered in water bubbles and that side is swollen. What could this be and how should we go about treating it?

I'm worried because I applied chuna powder on my mole, and now it's healing. How long will it take to heal completely? Will there be any scars? Can you recommend any ointments I can get in India to speed up the healing process?

It is important to keep the area clean and protected while it heals. You can apply Silverex cream twice a day to help with the healing process and reduce the risk of scarring. Make sure to consult a doctor if you notice any signs of infection or if the mole does not heal properly.
