Hi @Seamus! Thank you for your question. 

It can take about 2-3 months before the wart is completely gone. I would say they you should follow up with your GP to have a look to make sure it has healed effectively. As the wart "dies" off, you should see normal skin as per what you mentioned but some people may notice some darkening of the skin (hyperpigmentation) which will eventually subside to normal healthy skin. Further, there should not be any elevation in your skin and it should be flat once treatment is completed. 

Do note that warts can recur regardless of treatment though not very likely. 

Hope this helps!

Hi @Jo_c sorry to hear about this accident! De-roofing the blister yourself is not recommended due to the infection risk which can make things worse. Do take some pain killers and go for a review with a GP near your home as soon as you can, especially if there is no pain or decreased sensation. 

Before you leave, check your vaccination records and bring the latest ones along with you if you can (specifically check "Tetanus" vaccine or "DTP" vaccine if you have them). Hope this helps!

@fiona sorry for your present condition. It can be an allergic reaction. Some foods or dust from your home or clothes or insect ocean cause this condition. If the condition is really too much itching and grows very rapidly then it would be Urticaria. In normal allergic condition you need antihistamine or anti allergic medicine.But in Urticaria you must need to take some Low dose steroid with antihistamine drugs.
I would like to suggest you to go nearest GP chamber and take medicine if this condition is intolerable.
Take care.Hope your quick recovery.

Hi @Kai there are many possible causes of this and I would recommend a review with your family physician in-person, as they will need to examine you to narrow down possible causes to direct testing or treatment for you accordingly.

Scrotal eczema is a definite possibility. Other differentials include fungal infection and psoriasis. An accurate diagnosis is the key to getting real relief. Seek out a doctor with experience in this area to help you with a treatment plan.

Hi @curious_explorer sorry to hear about this! Yes, bee stings, or any irritant for the matter, can result in inflammation and aggravate eczema. That said, it is quite atypical for the effects of one-off exposures like these to persist for months.

You may want to have an in-depth review with your family physician or dermatologist that has been following up with you for this condition to try and assess why it may be worsening, or consider a video consultation online first to assess if you really need to make that trip down.

This can be done through one of the applications that provide medication delivery as well - more on this at this link:
