My corn is a couple months old but I'm a bit confused whether it's actually a corn or a wart. If it is a corn, what can I do to get rid of it? Would I need surgery for this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Corn can often be treated with padding and salicylic acid; surgery only if pain persists or diagnosis unclear.

I've been following up on that injury I mentioned before. Do you think it's a good idea to use Betadin and let the wound stay open to air? I ended up putting turmeric powder on it, and now it's sort of caked on the wound. I'm worried that if I try to clean it, it'll take off the part that's already healed. That wound on my leg from the bike accident, about a month and a half ago, mostly healed but theres still a small area thats raw. It keeps getting this clear, watery fluidnot yellowish thoughthat seems to stop it from healing fully. I've been seeing Dr. Prashanth at Vijayshree hospital, and the dressing has helped with the pain a lot. I've been using Augmentin D and Betadin as instructed, but I'm still using turmeric since it's ayurvedic. What should I be doing differently to finally heal this completely?
To promote complete healing of the remaining raw wound area, consider the following: continue regular dressing and antibiotic treatment as advised by Dr. Prashanth BN; gently clean the wound with saline solution to remove the accumulated turmeric powder; apply a thin layer of Betadin ointment, but avoid keeping the wound open, instead cover it with a sterile dressing; and maintain good wound hygiene and monitor for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or yellowish discharge.

I'm really worried about my 3-year-old daughter who has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Her doctor suggested applying hhfudic cream three times a day for 10 days. I'm just wondering if it's really okay to use it like that. Is there anything else I should know or do?
No need to worry that's a viral infection and is usually self limiting, follow as your doctor advised and you can use the cream no problem, hygiene practice is the main stay for cure and prevention.
