I've got this nose piercing I did last month, and now there's this annoying bump with some redness around it that's just not going away. I'm really worried because my wedding is in February, and I want it to heal before then. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

-For the bump and redness, it's important to keep the piercing clean with saline solution and avoid touching it with dirty hands. If it persists or worsens, consider consulting your piercer or a dermatologist to ensure proper healing before your marriage

I'm curious about using Epilyno cream. My doctor recommended it for a month, but I'm wondering if it's safe to continue using it for a longer period. Could you advise on the implications of long-term use?

I noticed a red bump on my penis with some white liquid coming out but it doesn't hurt could this be an ingrown hair is it something serious or do I need surgery to fix it

A red bump on the penis with a white liquid discharge, if painless, could be an ingrown hair. Ingrown hairs are usually harmless and will resolve on their own, but if they become infected, they may require medical attention. In most cases, they do not require surgery

My dad has a nail infection, and we were told to use Loceryl nail lacquer for it. But it seems like none of the pharmacies have it in stock right now. Could you suggest another nail lacquer that might work similarly? I'm a bit concerned about finding the right alternative for him.
