My boils have burst and I'm not sure how to get all the pus out. With the COVID situation, it's tough for me to get to a hospital. Could you guide me on what to do?

I'm dealing with a dressing issue and could really use some advice. I have a wound dressing made using cotton dipped in povidone iodine solution, and it's stuck pretty firmly to the wound. It's been tough trying to remove it without causing any harm or pain. Do you have any suggestions on how I can safely take it off?

I've had this stitch mark on my face for a really long time, and I'm wondering if it's possible to get it removed without spending too much. Can it be done affordably?

There are several options available for removing a stitch mark on your face. One common treatment is using a topical scar cream like Mederma, applying it twice a day for several weeks. Another option is silicone gel sheets like ScarAway, which can also help reduce the appearance of the scar. If the scar is more severe, you may consider laser therapy such as Fraxel or CO2 laser treatment. However, the cost of these treatments can vary depending on the severity of the scar and the location of the clinic. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment option for you.
