I've been dealing with really rough and dry skin on one of my fingers for the past two years. It almost looks like cracked drought land when I look closely. Sometimes it gets itchy too. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?

You may be experiencing a condition called eczema. I recommend using a moisturizing cream containing 1% hydrocortisone to help with the dryness and itching. You can apply it to the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can use a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh soaps to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist, it is best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm currently using the mx 10 topical solution for my hair, and I'm wondering which hair oil would be best to use alongside it. Could you please guide me on what might work well together or if there are any oils I should avoid? I'm a bit concerned about making the right choice.
You can use a gentle, non-comedogenic hair oil like coconut oil, jojoba oil, or argan oil with MX-10 topical solution, but apply the oil at least 30 minutes after using MX-10 to avoid any potential interactions.

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?
Use the same corn cap again for a period of 2 weeks,it will fall off completely,and use soft heel footwera
