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 getting these little spots on my cheeks from pimples, and I'm not sure what the best ointment is to make them go away quickly. Also, I'm dealing with some whiteheads and would love to know if there's a good solution for both. Any advice?

For both pimple spots and whiteheads, using a combination of exfoliating acids (like salicylic acid or glycolic acid), anti-inflammatory ingredients (like niacinamide), and treatments for acne (like retinoids or benzoyl peroxide) can help significantly improve your skin over time. Always make sure to use sunscreen daily to protect your skin and prevent worsening of dark spots.

I'm dealing with a situation here where I've been using adaferin gel for an hour every night and rejuglow face wash after getting advice from my doctor for my acne. But now, after a week, my acne's really flared up, and my skin's super dry, with itchy patches around my nose, mouth, and eyes. It's so dry, and even when I try to put on a moisturizer or use rose water, it burns. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something else I should try?

clinsol gel for local application is advised..

I've had my ears pierced for almost five years but just noticed a bump next to the piercing on my left ear two days ago. It's not too hard or soft, only hurts when pressed, and has shrunk from its original dome shape. I don't think it's a keloid since those grow inside the piercing could it be an abscess or a boil? I'm worried I might need surgery but hoping for a home remedy if possible.

ent opinion is advised.
