I've got some hard skin that's formed on my right hand little finger, and it's making me itch constantly. Once I start scratching, it's hard to stop. I'm really not sure what's going on and it's getting kinda annoying. Could this be something serious or do you think it's just dry skin? Any advice on what I should do next would be super helpful.
If it really hard and pigmentation is seen that could be a type of psoriatic patch, avoid scratching and keep it moist, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

I've got this boil or phoda at the start of my hip line that just won't heal. Every day, pus and a little bit of blood come out of it. I've tried using different antiseptic creams and even took amoxicillin tablets, but nothing seems to be working. I also have diabetes, but it's under control. What could be causing this issue, and how can I get it to heal?
