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.

I've got these warts on my face and they're starting to get bigger every day. I had a dermatologist remove one before, but it ended up costing me around six thousand. Is that a normal price for this kind of procedure, or is it a bit steep? Also, what can I do to prevent new ones from appearing in the future?
