@hemang Diabetic wounds are unlike typical wounds in that they are slower to heal, making treatment with conventional topical medications an uphill process. Among several different alternative therapies, honey is an effective choice because it provides comparatively rapid wound healing. Although honey has been used as an alternative medicine for wound healing since ancient times, the application of honey to diabetic wounds has only recently been revived. Because honey has some unique natural features as a wound healer, it works even more effectively on diabetic wounds than on normal wounds. In addition, honey is known as an “all in one” remedy for diabetic wound healing because it can combat many microorganisms that are involved in the wound process and because it possesses antioxidant activity and controls inflammation. The potential role of honey’s antibacterial activity on diabetic wound-related microorganisms and honey’s clinical effectiveness in treating diabetic wounds are well proven. So definitely you can try it for your father.

Hi, my friend, a 28-year-old man, is having a “lump on his eyelid” that he first noticed the day before and describes as being tender to the touch. He reports no pain or discharge from the eye, but indicates the nodule is starting to cause some mild irritation. He has not had any recent trauma to the eye. Some localized swelling and redness are there near the nodule location (at the base of an eyelash), and it does not appear to be associated with a loss of lashes or discoloration of the surrounding skin. Is there any self-care strategies to alleviate his symptoms?

Hi, I am 20 years old collegegoer. I am observing some changes of my nail coloration. Tiny dents are also there over the nails and blood is present beneath. All the time I am feeling itchy. I thought of consulting a doctor but could not gather courage. I am scared. My friend's father is a clinician. He suggested that I might have nail psoriasis. What is that? Is it curable?

I recently had a visit with my primary care physician, who told me my BMI was a little low. nothing to be concerned about - but I am a skinny guy. Dr. told me to increase my protein intake, and having an already moderately active lifestyle I should begin to see natural muscle gain. Please suggest protein-rich diet
