I'm worried about this small hole on my back that's been causing me some trouble lately. It hurts a bit and sometimes pus comes out, along with a really unpleasant smell. It's been going on for a few months now. Should I be worried? What could this be, and do I need to see a doctor?

Question

I'm really worried about my wife's finger. A few months back, she got this tiny hole on the tip, and it hurt to touch, with a small circular thing forming there. The doctor told us to use a corn cap for a week, and that took away the pain and some side skin, but that circle's still hanging around with a tiny dot, just like it was several months ago. We don't see anything stuck in there, so were confused about whether to try the corn cap again or should we consider getting it removed surgically. Could you give some advice on what might be best to do?

Question

I've been having a really tough time with seborrheic dermatitis and this constant itchiness for about a month now. It's getting really uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what to do. Can you recommend some effective treatments or medications to help me out with this?

Question

I'm curious about Cipla Sebowash shampoo. Is it safe to use, and how often should I apply it if I'm dealing with a seborrheic condition? Should I be using it every day or less frequently? I'd appreciate your guidance on this.
