I've been struggling with pimples on my face for six years now and nothing seems to work I've seen multiple skin specialists but no improvement. Would surgery be an option for me or is there something else I should try? It's really affecting my confidence and I'm not sure what to do next.

I recently had a tumble off my bike and now I've got these open wounds on my palms and knees, about the size of a coin. I've been using soframycin skin cream on them, but I've noticed it forms a dried mass with blood that covers the wound and it really hurts when it comes off. I'm wondering if I should switch to wokadine ointment instead. Any thoughts?

I can understand your concern. I hope you are not in too much pain. You have to clean the would with warm water and with betadine solution. After that apply mupirocin ointment which is available by tradenames like t-bact, b-bact, i-bact, or mupi ointment. After that leave tge wound open. Apply a thin layer over the wound.

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with these small, white, hard bumps on my scalp for about a year and a half now. They're super itchy, and it's causing a lot of hair loss, which is really worrying me. At first, I thought it might be dandruff, but there's nothing flaky about it. I'm constantly scratching my scalp, and it's getting really frustrating. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

That could be fungal infection as this needs evaluation visit Dermatologist for appropriate management,do not attempt to scratch it or squeeze it.
