I've had these red circles that are really itchy, and I've been using candid powder and ring out cream, but they don't seem to be working that well. It's been going on for about 15 days now. What else can I do or try to help get rid of them? Do you think it's something more serious?

View allI accidentally burned my leg pretty badly on the silencer of my bike a few days ago. It's been 5 days, and instead of getting better, it's looking worse. The skin is stretching and really hurting, plus there's a liquid-filled bubble on the wound. It's about 4 cm in diameter, circular, very dark, and really sensitive now. I'm not sure what ointment to use or what precautions to take. Any advice?

Is the Mayi dusting powder safe for my 10-month-old baby? I'm wondering if it's okay to use the regular candid powder or if there's a specific version meant for infants. Can you provide me with more information about this?
-It's best to use a baby-specific Candid powder designed for infants, as it is gentler on their sensitive skin. Regular Candid powder may be too harsh for a 10-month-old and could cause irritation. Always consult your pediatrician before using any product

I'm 37 weeks and 2 days pregnant and earlier today I used a small cap full of undiluted Dettol antiseptic liquid on my hands. I washed them about 5 times with body soap and water to try to get rid of the smell. I'm really worried if there's any harm to my baby from using undiluted Dettol, even after washing so many times. Could there still be leftover chemicals on my hands that I might ingest, which could then reach my baby?
Using undiluted Dettol antiseptic liquid on your hands during pregnancy can be harmful as it contains strong chemicals that may be absorbed through the skin. Even after washing your hands multiple times with soap and water, there may still be residual chemicals left on your skin. To be on the safe side, it is important to avoid using undiluted Dettol during pregnancy. If you have any concerns about potential exposure to harmful chemicals, you can consult with your healthcare provider for further advice.
