I'm really worried because last night I did something silly. I put toothpaste on my forehead to try and get rid of some acne and left it on overnight. This morning, part of my forehead looks like it might be burntlike a chemical burn. I'm kicking myself for it. Do you think it will heal on its own, or am I going to have a permanent mark? Could you recommend any medicine or home remedyjust not aloe vera since I can't get any? I'd really appreciate your help.

I've been dealing with these pus-filled bumps on my upper lip for the past two years. They just keep getting bigger, even when I pop them. They don't look like cold sores or regular pimples, but some do have blackheads. It's concerning because they never go away. What can I do to get rid of them permanently?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a condition called recurrent folliculitis. To treat this, you can try using a topical antibiotic cream like Mupirocin twice daily on the affected areas. In addition, an oral antibiotic like Doxycycline can be prescribed to help clear up the infection. It's important to maintain good hygiene, avoid picking or popping the bumps, and follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've had warts on my feet for over a month now. The doctor recommended Watnil solution but it hasn't helped at all. My friends say it might need to be cut out with minor surgery, which really scares me. Are there any other medicines that can cure warts without surgery?

Its a very minor surgical procedure. Its done by electrocautery or by radiofrequency ablation. Its done under local anaesthesia. Treatment cost varies in different clinics. Lotion takes long time to act and it should be applied properly.

I'm dealing with a dry skin issue that persists even during the summer, and if I forget to use moisturizer, the situation becomes quite severe. I've already seen a few doctors around here, but unfortunately, I haven't noticed any improvement. After doing some research online, I found that my symptoms align with ichthyosis vulgaris, and I'm really worried about this condition. Could you offer some advice or guidance?

Ichthyosis vulgaris is a possible cause of your dry skin symptoms, and consulting a dermatologist for a definitive diagnosis and personalized guidance is crucial; in the meantime, consider these general tips to help manage dry skin: use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers, apply moisturizers immediately after bathing, use humidifiers to maintain a humid environment, avoid harsh soaps and exfoliants, and wear breathable clothing; also, explore over-the-counter (OTC) treatments containing urea, hyaluronic acid, or ceramides, which can help lock in moisture and soothe dry ski
