I've been dealing with some really slow-healing wounds from a minor bike accident recently. I hurt my fingers, palm, and knee trying to save a dog on the road. I've already taken a tetanus shot and completed a 5-day course of amoxicillin. I've also been dressing my wounds with betadine solution and now switched to using soframycin under the bandages. But it seems like the wounds arent healing as quickly as I'd hoped. Any advice on what I might be doing wrong or any suggestions to speed up the healing process?

I've been having some itching in my private area and now I've noticed these four red moles have shown up between my legs. They seem to be getting bigger as each day passes. Could you recommend any medicine or treatment for this? What might be causing it?

Taking an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine can help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
