I've noticed that the skin around the outside of my right toenail has gotten really soft and there's this watery liquid forming. Is this something I should be worried about, like an infection, and what steps should I take to treat it?

This sounds like you may have a paronychia, which is an infection of the skin around the toenail. You can try soaking your foot in warm water with Epsom salts a few times a day to help reduce the infection. You can also apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area. If the infection is severe or does not improve, you may need to see a doctor for further treatment.

View allI've had my ears pierced for almost five years but just noticed a bump next to the piercing on my left ear two days ago. It's not too hard or soft, only hurts when pressed, and has shrunk from its original dome shape. I don't think it's a keloid since those grow inside the piercing could it be an abscess or a boil? I'm worried I might need surgery but hoping for a home remedy if possible.
