I've got this swelling around my nose where I got it pierced and it's been bugging me a bit. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to help it heal? And would it be a good idea to take out my nose ring and maybe use a tulsi stem on it for a bit? Any medication suggestions would be helpful too.

I have these small black pimples all over my face, and my doctor said I should take Wysolone 10, three pills every morning for a week because of some bad cream I used. I'm worried about any side effects. What do you think?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I've recently had my armpits waxed and a few hours later I noticed some irritation. The skin turned red initially and now it's become really dark. I'm quite worried about how it looks. Its been several days without any improvement or lightening of these black patches. Could you suggest any solution for this?
