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?

I'm trying to figure out what would be the best option for my hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia. Should I go with Tugain Minoxidil 5 Solution, Morr F tropical solution, or is follihair serum a better choice? It's getting a bit concerning and I want to make sure I'm using the right product. Any guidance on this would be really appreciated.
Tugain Minoxidil 5% Solution contains minoxidil, a vasodilator that activates hair follicles and increases blood supply. It's available in 5% and 10% concentrations, with the 10% solution being more effective for grade three and four hair loss. Morr F tropical solution contains finasteride, which, when combined with minoxidil, can enhance hair growth. Some dermatologists recommend Morr F as a better option due to its added finasteride content. Follihair serum is another option, but its effectiveness compared to Tugain and Morr F is less documented.

I've got this thin light black-brown line right in the middle of my left thumb, and I dont feel any pain or itching from it. I cant recall injuring my thumb, though. I talked to a doctor, but not a Dermatologist. He guessed it was some fungal infection, so I took medicine for a week. The line hasnt disappeared or gotten darker, but the doctor said it looked slightly lighter and told me not to worry about it. It doesnt appear on any other fingers on my hands or feet. Should I be concerned about this line? Should I get a second opinion, maybe from a Dermatologist? Is it something that needs urgent attention?
That could be due stress or pressure induced pigmentation,no need to worry unless it does progress otherwise u can ignore it.
