My mom has a corn on her leg and I'm worried about removing it. Some people say minor surgery could cause more corns to grow on her foot while others recommend using corn bandages. What's the best way to treat it without making it worse?

View allI'm having a skin allergy for the past couple of days with these small red spots and it's quite itchy. I took an Avil tablet the day before yesterday, but it's still bothering me. Should I be worried about this, or try something else?
It looks like Dermatophytic infection, maintain personal hygiene and visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

I've got this thin light black-brown line right in the middle of my left thumb, and I dont feel any pain or itching from it. I cant recall injuring my thumb, though. I talked to a doctor, but not a Dermatologist. He guessed it was some fungal infection, so I took medicine for a week. The line hasnt disappeared or gotten darker, but the doctor said it looked slightly lighter and told me not to worry about it. It doesnt appear on any other fingers on my hands or feet. Should I be concerned about this line? Should I get a second opinion, maybe from a Dermatologist? Is it something that needs urgent attention?
That could be due stress or pressure induced pigmentation,no need to worry unless it does progress otherwise u can ignore it.

Can hair grow back?
Hair always grow according to its growth cycle but the total transition to old normal hair depends on the cause of hair loss. If hair loss is secondary to genetics then re-growth is doubtful unless a medical intervention is done. Hair loss secondary to infection, nutritional deficiency and damage may regrow once the cause is taken care.
