I've got some cut marks on my hand from using a blade, and I'm really worried about how to get rid of them. Could you please let me know what I can do to make these marks fade or go away?

My wife's been having this pain in her left hand veins, and her thumbs have been itching for the past three days. I initially thought it might just go away on its own, but the pain hasn't improved. She did plant a tree three days ago, so I'm wondering if it could be an infection from the soil or something related to the plant. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?

, based upon the clinical symptoms there might be development of phlebitis, i.e inflammation of the veins due to some thorn prick. Apply warm compresses. If symptoms aggravates kindly consult ur surgeon...

I've been having this really awful fishy smell in my groin area and it's driving me crazy. I wash a lot, but it doesn't seem to help. I've tried using some rubbing alcohol like Seabreeze and it helps for a couple of days, but then it's back again after I sweat at night. I'm worried and not sure what to do next. Any ideas?

I'm a 28-year-old male and I've got a fungal infection in my genital area. I've been using Onabet cream, which has Sertaconazole Nitrate in it. I've heard that nitrogen compounds can be harmful to the skin because they can break it down. Since Onabet contains a nitrate compound, I'm worried if it's actually safe to use it in such a sensitive area. Should I keep using Onabet for my condition? I'm really in need of some advice.

Continue all the medications as advised by the dermatologist.
