I've recently had stitches on my face, and I'm really wondering about how to get rid of the marks they left behind. Do you think using mupimet cream could be effective for this?

View allI've got an ESR level of 26 mm and my white blood cell count is 11,400, which I heard is 400 more than normal. I've also been battling acne, hair fall, and dandruff lately. Plus, my wisdom tooth's gum is a bit swollen. Could this swelling be causing my high ESR? I'm really concerned about all these symptoms.
Wisdom tooth gum swelling and a potential gum infection could contribute to your elevated ESR and WBC count. Its important to address the gum issue with a dentist and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation of your blood results and other symptoms.

I've been worried about a leech bite I got on a trek back in late September. It was just a small bite on my left leg, but instead of drying up like the ones on my right foot, it seems to be getting bigger and a bit darker. It's been over two months, and I'm not sure if it's turning into an infection because I feel a slight pain when I press on it. I've been using turmeric and coconut oil, but it doesn't seem to help much. Should I be concerned? Is there something else I should do to treat it?
The leech bite on your left leg that has not completely dried out even after two months and is slowly getting bigger and blacker may indeed be infected. The slight pain when you press on it also suggests inflammation. I recommend cleaning the area with antiseptic solution and applying an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day. Additionally, you can take an oral antibiotic like Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching or picking at the bite. If the infection does not improve or if you develop fever or worsening symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.
