I'm really worried because my daughter has suddenly developed these dark purple-brown spots clustered around her lips. I've added a picture to show what's going on. Could you please tell me what this might be?

View allMy friend's leg accidentally got burned yesterday when it touched the hot silencer of a scooter. The burn is really painful, and it's turned into a dark brown color with a bubble-like swelling. We're really concerned and wondering what the best steps would be to take care of it. Any advice on how to treat this burn and reduce the pain and swelling?
Immediate Care* 1. *Cool the burn*: Run cool tap water over the burn for 10-15 minutes or apply a cool, wet compress. 2. *Remove clothing and jewelry*: Gently remove any clothing or jewelry near the burned area, as these can stick to the burn and cause further damage. *Wound Care* 1. *Apply topical antibiotic ointment*: Use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin to help prevent infection. 2. *Cover the burn*: Cover the burn with a non-stick, sterile bandage or dressing to protect it from further irritation and infection. *Pain Management* 1. *Over-the-counter pain medication*: Use over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help manage pain and reduce inflammation. *When to Seek Medical Attention* 1. *Severe burns*: If the burn is severe (covers a large area, is deep, or has penetrated through multiple layers of skin), seek immediate medical attention. 2. *Infection signs*: Monitor for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, pus, or a foul odor. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek medical attention. 3. *Difficulty moving*: If your friend is experiencing difficulty moving the affected area or is experiencing numbness or tingling, seek medical attention.

I got bitten by some insect on my thigh on Tuesday, and it started to swell, so I went to a general physician who assured me there was nothing to worry about and gave me a tablet. But today, it's hurting again, and when I used a pin to check the area, a lot of blood suddenly came out. I'm really concerned about what's going on. Could you please advise?
You may have inadvertently drained an abscess or a hematoma that formed as a result of the insect bite, and while it may provide temporary relief, it's essential to consult the general physician again or visit an urgent care center to assess the wound, prevent infection, and receive proper treatment, such as antibiotics or further drainage, to promote healing and avoid complications.

I'm dealing with some fungal infections around my genital and buttock areas, and I'm wondering if using Panderm Plus cream would be a good idea to treat it?
