I accidentally popped what I think was a sebaceous cyst inside my elbow, and now there's this dull, numb pain when I touch it, which wasn't there before. Should I be worried, or is it just a part of the healing process?

clean and dressing the wound regularly otherwise it leads to infection

My aunt has been dealing with paronychia for the past ten days, and its really worrying because her fingers have become hard. We tried to drain out the pus, and I think weve gotten rid of all of it, but shes now feeling really weak, can't talk well, and has a fever. She lives in a village in North Karnataka. What should we do next? Really concerned!

The symptoms suggest that she is in sepsis,better to visit nearest hsopital for further management

I'm dealing with an ongoing itch and redness around my ball sack area and between my thighs. It's been bugging me for two months, and I think it might be a fungal infection. I'm really concerned as it seems to be getting worse. Could this be something serious? Any advice would be great.

You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like panderm, quadriderm, dermi 5, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams.
