I'm worried because I got a burn near my ankle from a bike silencer about a week ago. It's not swollen or blistered, but the skin is dark red and it feels stretched. It doesn't hurt, but it feels dry and itchy sometimes. Now there's a mark where the burn was. I bought Sofinox cream thinking it might help with the burn mark, but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to use. Could you suggest a better cream to help remove this mark?

I'm dealing with a nail issue and it's actually gotten worse after taking fluconazole and glevo. I've also heard about something called oxychomycosui disease and I'm kind of worried if it might be related. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

Treatment for nail issues and onychomycosis disease can include the use of antifungal medications. In this case, since the nail issue worsened after fluconazole and levofloxacin (Glevo), it is important to consider alternative antifungal medications. Additionally, topical antifungal medications like Ciclopirox (brand name Penlac) nail lacquer can be applied daily. It is important to continue treatment consistently as prescribed by your healthcare provider to see improvement in the nail condition.

I'm really concerned about how long it usually takes for an ear piercing to heal completely. My daughter had hers done, and it doesn't seem to be healing like it should. We're still noticing a bit of blood when we take out the earring. Is there any gel or remedy that could help speed up the healing process after a piercing?

try using alovergel and consult your doctor
