Stray

There’s a stray (and I think Tom) cat that frequents my garden. He’s come over today and has these marks on his head and neck. I’m wondering if it’s worth taking him to the vet or calling cats protection? I feel as if the marks look really bad and painful but I’m not sure if they’re bad enough to need to call cats protection or what they’d even end up doing to help him. Please give me some advice :(

Clearing scars

Hi!! I have all these older sort of acne scars in my butt crease basically lol. Most of them aren’t active cysts/spots. I’m just wondering if anyone has a holy grail for this sort of thing? I’m currently on secukinumab, but I’m not exactly flaring in the area it’s the scars that I’m just trying to get rid of.

I use glycolic acid 3 times a week, and the salicylic acid in between. Fucibet if I have an active flair. Don’t get me wrong they’ve all been helpful in preventing more spots, but I’m hoping to find something to help fade the scars? Does anyone have any advice?

Hi, my grandmother has definitely got some sort of rapid progressing dementia, over the last few weeks she has become incapable of looking after herself and has become hostile and threatening. Constantly having falls, banging on her doors and windows or neighbours doors and windows. Shouting out into the street, threatening to kill herself etc.

We’ve contacted the gp, we’ve had to call an ambulance on occasion. She’s had urgent checks but there’s been no speed up in the referral for assessment ( for housing needs). Hospital have said she doesn’t have any sort of infection, they sent her home but with no suggestion on what to do next.

We physically and financially can’t look after her, no matter how hard we have tried to, we are incapable of giving her the care she needs now.

My councils ‘out of hours’ helpline for emergency social care very flippantly told me to call back another time because there were no adult social care providers on the line. I’m so scared that she is going to hurt someone or hurt herself, what should we do now? She needs to be in a home with specialised care and urgently, but the assessment process hasn’t even begun nor a diagnosis of dementia. How do I get the right help and urgently?

Thank you
