I've got this white spot on my neck and hand that's really worrying me - it came up suddenly and looks unusual. What could be causing these white patches to appear out of nowhere? Should I see a dermatologist right away or is there something I can try at home first? The one on my neck seems to be spreading a bit which has me concerned.

I'm struggling with really bad foot odor whenever I wear shoes for just a few hours. At first, I thought it was athlete's foot, so I tried using Lotrimin, but then I found out it's actually pitted keratolysis. I switched to using 10% benzoyl peroxide ointments, and they seemed to help while I was using them. But as soon as I stop, the odor returns, and my feet start getting rough again. What should I do to tackle this for good? Any tips would be really helpful.

I'm really concerned about how long it usually takes for an ear piercing to heal completely. My daughter had hers done, and it doesn't seem to be healing like it should. We're still noticing a bit of blood when we take out the earring. Is there any gel or remedy that could help speed up the healing process after a piercing?
