I've been waxing my face and ended up taking off some skin on both of my cheeks. I've been applying aloe vera gel to help it heal, but it's actually getting worse. What else can I do to fix this?

I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin. Apply a thin layer on the affected areas on your cheeks twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid picking at it to prevent infection.

Whats going on with my belly button? A few days back, I had an infection there, and now Ive noticed this small, painful lump inside it. When I was cleaning it with Dettol, it started leaking this whitish pus-like stuff. Could it be a cyst, or should I be worried about something else?
The painful lump and pus leakage from your belly button could be a sign of an infected belly button cyst or abscess. *Possible Causes* 1. *Infected belly button cyst*: A cyst can form in the belly button due to trapped dirt, sweat, or bacteria. If infected, it can cause pain, swelling, and pus. 2. *Folliculitis*: An infection of the hair follicle in the belly button area. 3. *Abscess*: A pocket of pus that forms in response to a bacterial infection. *Symptoms* 1. Painful lump or swelling 2. Pus or discharge (white, yellow, or green) 3. Redness and inflammation 4. Foul odor *What to Do* 1. *Seek medical attention*: Consult a doctor or visit an urgent care center for proper evaluation and treatment. 2. *Keep the area clean*: Gently clean the belly button with mild soap and lukewarm water. 3. *Avoid squeezing or popping*: Refrain from squeezing or popping the lump, as this can push bacteria deeper into the skin and lead to further complications. *Treatment* 1. *Antibiotics*: Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection. 2. *Drainage*: The doctor may need to drain the abscess or cyst to remove the pus. 3. *Pain management*: Your doctor may recommend pain relief medication to manage discomfort.
