My mom tried doing a chemical peel at home because her friends recommended it, and now she's ended up with some serious burns on her skin, leaving dark patches. We're really worried about how to fix this, especially since we can't find any doctors nearby due to the lockdown. Can you tell us what we should do?

I've noticed that my dad has had this wart under his right armpit for quite a while now, maybe a few years. It doesn't bother him since it's not painful, red, or itchy. But the other day, he found another wart under his left armpit. This one hurts when he touches it, although it isn't red or itchy, and there's no pus. Could these warts be a sign of something more serious? Do you think he needs to get it checked out soon?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm using hand sanitizer to clean my earphones, and now I'm a bit worried. Are they safe to put in my ears? My ears have been really itchy lately. And should I be doing something different to disinfect my earphones safely?

Clean your ears gently using a damp cloth or cotton swabs if necessary, but avoid inserting anything deep into the ear canal.
