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 been dealing with jock itch and these white itching patches in my jock area for over a year now. Ive tried using antifungal powder, but it doesnt seem to work. Is there something else I can do to get relief from this? Im really worried its not going away, and I just dont know what to try next. Could there be another underlying issue causing this?

Persistent jock itch and white patches can be frustrating. Since antifungal powder hasn't worked, consider: 1. _Consult a dermatologist_: Get a proper diagnosis and guidance. 2. _Try antifungal creams_: Clotrimazole, miconazole, or terbinafine might be more effective. 3. _Improve hygiene_: Wash the area with soap and water, dry thoroughly, and wear breathable clothing. 4. _Tea tree oil_: Mix a few drops with a carrier oil (coconut or olive) and apply to the affected area.

I've got a skin burn from a bike silencer that happened about a month ago, and it's still not healing. I've seen a doctor and completed an antibiotics course, but the situation hasn't improved. Now, for the past 23 days, I've noticed small bumps around the burn with liquid inside them. The liquid keeps leaking out, and there's a lot of itching. What do you think is going on, and what can I do to help it heal?

It sounds like you may have developed an infection in the burn wound. I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent further infection. Additionally, you can take an oral antibiotic like Augmentin to treat the infection from within. For the itching, you can take an antihistamine such as Levocet.

I've been using Tugain men solution for about ten days now to deal with my hair fall, which a doctor recommended. But I've started noticing even more shedding since I began using it. I'm really confused about whether I should keep going with it or stop. Could you offer some advice on what to do?

Initially that happens but later it works in controlling hairfall.
