I've been using garlic to try and get rid of a mole on my face, but now I'm really worried. After an hour, my skin got burnt and turned red. It dried up and I could peel it off, but now it looks black. I've been applying sebo de macho, but it doesn't seem to help. What should I do?

It seems like you may have experienced a skin reaction from using garlic to remove your mole. The black color could indicate a scab or potential skin damage. I recommend you stop using sebo de macho and instead apply an antibiotic cream like Neosporin to prevent infection. You can also use aloe vera gel to soothe the burned skin. Additionally, consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid picking at the scab to prevent scarring. If the symptoms worsen or do not improve, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI'm using Tyza cream for my skin issue, and it's working well. But if I skip using it for even a day, the itching comes right back. Should I be worried about this? Is it a sign of a more serious problem?
Tyza cream is likely helping to manage your skin issue, but the rebound itching when missing a day's application could indicate: *Possible Causes* 1. *Dependence on the cream*: Your skin might be relying on the cream's active ingredients to control itching. 2. *Underlying skin condition*: The cream may be masking an underlying condition, such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis. 3. *Skin barrier disruption*: The cream's ingredients might be altering your skin's natural barrier function, leading to increased sensitivity.

The rash is consistently noticeable, and he feels a bit uncomfortable because of it. Can you provide some insight into what might be causing this and what steps we should take?
For your ward's persistent skin rashes and itchiness lasting 15 days, it's essential to consult a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause, which could be allergic reactions, eczema, dermatitis, or other conditions; in the meantime, encourage your ward to avoid scratching, apply cool compresses, and use over-the-counter anti-itch creams or oral antihistamines to alleviate discomfort.
