I've got this deep wound from hitting a wooden piece, and while its beginning to heal, Im noticing a couple of concerning things. The area around the wound feels numb, and there's a smell coming from it after I've applied oils and baby powder. Should I be worried about this? What can I do to help it heal properly?

I've been having pus drainage from a cyst near my tailbone every few months for about 8 months now. There's no pain or bad smell, but I can feel a small lump there during activities like yoga. Should I consider getting drainage treatment or is surgery necessary?

While drainage treatment might be an option for some cases, it's crucial to have a diagnosis and discuss all treatment options, including surgery, with a doctor.
