I've got a scratch wound on my shin from climbing a rope during an obstacle course, and it's about 10 days old now. For the first few days, I used an ointment and kept it covered like my doctor suggested. Then I left it open for a couple of days and have been applying Soframycin for the last four days. Now there's this dried layer of the cream that's not coming off, and I'm having some very mild pains occasionally, but nothing too serious. How can I get this wound to heal completely?

View allI'm worried because I've noticed these black lines under my nails that run from the tip to the end. I heard it could be a type of skin cancer. If I decide to get it removed, will that treat it? I'm also curious about my chances of recovery. The lines are not very dark, more like a light black. How much would a nail biopsy typically cost, and are there any foods I should steer clear of? What might be causing these lines, and what's the best way for me to go about getting treatment?
Don't worry, having black lines beneath your nails doesn't necessarily mean you have skin cancer. In Indians and people with darker skin tones, these lines are quite common and usually harmless . However, it's always best to get a professional opinion to rule out any underlying conditions.

I've noticed my skin is getting darker, and I've got these patches with hard, dry areas. I was told it might be macular amyloidosis, so a doctor prescribed glutathione pills and some creams, but I didn't see any improvement and stopped. I'm really worried because I'm not sure if there's a permanent solution to this. Is there a more effective treatment out there?
Macular amyloidosis is a chronic skin condition that may not respond well to topical creams alone. However, there are other treatment options available. One option is to use topical corticosteroids to help reduce inflammation and itching. Another option is phototherapy, which involves exposing the affected skin to ultraviolet light. In some cases, oral medications such as antihistamines or immunosuppressants may be prescribed. It's important to consult with a dermatologist to discuss these treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific case.
