I've got this dark horizontal line right in the middle of my nose and it's been bothering me. I've tried a few medicines and creams, but nothing seems to work. Do you have any idea what's causing this or any suggestions on how to treat it?

View allI'm dealing with a cut mark on my left hand that happened back in January 2016. I didn't get any treatment for it at that time. Now, the wound mark has become thick, and I'm experiencing pain and itching there. Even a light touch is painful. Could you advise me on what to do?
Soframycin cream for local application is advised for 2 weeks twice daily.

Is Tenovate a steroid cream? I came across two types: Tenovate cream base and Tenovate ointment base. I was told to use the cream base for my eczema blisters, but because of the dry weather, I switched to the ointment without talking to my doctor. Was that a mistake? Also, I've heard about Clobetasol being a steroid, is that true?
Yes you can have it no problem,moisturize it often and do not let your skin become dry and yes clobetosol is a steroid

Is it alright to keep using mometasone furoate cream on my eyelids and above my lips? I've been on this medication for about a year and it works great, but I came across some articles that say maybe it shouldn't be used on those areas. Should I be worried or stop using it there?
Mometasone furoate cream is a potent topical corticosteroid. While it can be effective, using it on sensitive areas like eyelids and above the lips for an extended period (1 year) may pose risks: *Risks on Eyelids:* 1. *Skin thinning*: Prolonged use can cause skin thinning, making eyelids more prone to injury. 2. *Glaucoma*: Long-term use around the eyes may increase the risk of glaucoma. 3. *Cataracts*: Prolonged use may also increase the risk of cataracts. *Risks Above the Lips:* 1. *Skin thinning*: Similar to eyelids, skin thinning can occur, making the area more sensitive. 2. *Perioral dermatitis*: Long-term use can lead to perioral dermatitis, a skin condition characterized by redness, bumps, and itching.
