I've got a lump between my thumb and index finger from an injury I got while playing cricket. A ball smacked right into my thumb, jamming it pretty hard, which left my hand swollen for over a week. The swelling finally went down, but now there's this hard lump in the webbing that still really hurts even with just a slight touch. It's been more than a year and I've tried icing it, but there's been no improvement. What should I do?

View allI've recently noticed these small black spots on my lower back, kind of the size of an inch coin. They're not itchy, but they do hurt a little when I press on them. Should I be worried about this?
Could be due to a condition called Tinea Versicolor, which is a fungal infection of the skin. I recommend using an antifungal medication such as Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks to treat the infection effectively. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing to help with the healing process.

I've been taking Becadexamine multivitamins for the past three weeks and I've noticed my skin has become fairer. Is this typical? Is that how multivitamins usually work? Also, when's the best time to take them?
It is not common for multivitamins to directly cause changes in skin color. Becadexamine is a multivitamin supplement that contains essential vitamins and minerals. The change in your skin color may be due to other factors or could be unrelated to the multivitamin intake. The right time to take multivitamins is usually in the morning with breakfast to help ensure optimal absorption.

I've been using Safi for the past two months to help with blood purification and acne, and so far, I haven't noticed any side effects. But I'm getting mixed messages; some people say it's safe, while others warn of possible side effects. I'm feeling a bit confused and wonder if it's okay to continue using it. Should I keep using Safi for its benefits, or are there risks I should be worried about? I really need some professional guidance on this.
Safi blood purifier is a herbal remedy that is commonly used for blood purification and acne. While some people may not experience any side effects from using Safi, it is important to note that herbal remedies can still have potential side effects and interactions with other medications. If you have been using Safi for 2 months without any noticeable side effects, it may be safe for you to continue using it. However, it is always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before starting or continuing any new medication or supplement. If you are looking for alternative options, you can consider using topical acne treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid for acne, and maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle for blood purification.
