I've got this really bad jock itch in my groin area and I'm wondering if it's okay to use Vicks Vaporub to help with it. Is that a safe option?

I'm really worried about something I did while making homemade herbal hair fiber. I accidentally burned wheat and barley in a pan that had a bit of cooking oil in it. After I was done, I learned that burnt oil can release harmful and toxic chemicals. Someone told me it's still safe to use the mixture, but I'm not sure. Could you let me know if it's really okay to use, or should I just throw it away?

I've had tanning on my hands since visiting a coastal area a while back. How can I get rid of it? Any advice would really help.

To reduce tanning on your hands, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply the cream to the affected areas twice a day for several weeks. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 on your hands daily can help prevent further tanning.

I'm a bit worried because I've noticed a hard, greenish-blue lump under the skin on my right hand. It's about 2mm in size, doesn't move, and isn't painful. Could you tell me what this might be? Should I be concerned about this?

Concerns about medication safety while breastfeeding are natural. _Zerodol P (Aceclofenac + Paracetamol) while breastfeeding:_ 1. _Caution advised_: Both aceclofenac and paracetamol are excreted in breast milk, but in small amounts. 2. _Short-term use might be okay_: If you need to take Zerodol P for a short period (e.g., 1-2 days), it's likely safe while breastfeeding. 3. _Consult your doctor_: However, it's essential to consult your doctor or a lactation consultant to discuss the risks and benefits. _Glemont (Montelukast) while breastfeeding:_ 1. _Generally considered safe_: Montelukast is excreted in breast milk, but in small amounts, and is generally considered safe while breastfeeding. 2. _Continue with caution_: If you've been taking Glemont and your doctor recommends continuing, you can likely safely do so while breastfeeding. _Breastfeeding precautions:_ 1. _Monitor your baby_: Watch for any changes in your baby's behavior, such as fussiness, sleepiness, or changes in feeding patterns. 2. _Consult a lactation consultant_: If you have concerns or questions, consult a lactation consultant for personalized guidance.
